SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 22, 2022 / Christian Newswire/ -- Kingdom Story Com-
pany and Lionsgate announced today that Kelsey Grammer, Anna Grace Barlow, Jonathan Roumie, and more have joined the cast of Jesus Revolution, a film inspired by the true story of a national spiritual awakening in the early 1970s and its origins within a community of teenage hippies in Southern California. Grammer ("Frasier") will star alongside Joel Courtney ("Super 8"), previously announced, as well as newly joining cast members Anna Grace Barlow ("The Big Leap"), Jonathan Roumie ("The Chosen"), Kimberly Williams-Paisley ("According to Jim"), Ally Ioannides ("Parenthood"), Julia Campbell (Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion), Nic Bishop ("Truth Be Told"), and Jolie Jenkins ("Alexa & Katie"). In the 1970s, young Greg Laurie (Joel Courtney) sets out to redefine truth through all means of liberation, and instead, meets Lonnie Frisbee (Jonathan Roumie), a charismatic hippie street preacher. Laurie and Frisbee, along with Pastor Chuck Smith (Kelsey Grammer), open the doors of Smith's languishing church to an unexpected revival by way of rock and roll, newfound love, and a twist of faith leading to a Jesus Revolution that changed the world.
Laurie went on to start Harvest Christian Fellowship, one of the largest churches in America, and the Harvest Crusade events, which have been attended by over six million people. Modern-day cause-related crusades and rallies for change are everywhere. Jesus Revolution is the story of one such movement that not only set a model for change-makers thereafter, but that sparked a revival with ripple effects that still matter today. Grammer will play Chuck Smith, the real-life pastor of Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa, who served as a mentor to Greg Laurie. Chuck famously opened his church to a generation of hippies and seekers, helping to launch the last great spiritual revival in America. Barlow will play Cathe, who finds a connection with Greg as they both search for purpose in a changing world. Roumie will play Lonnie Frisbee, the young hippie preacher who brings thousands into the movement with his charismatic and vulnerable messages. Williams-Paisley will play Charlene, Greg's struggling mother. Campbell will play Kay, Chuck's wife, with Ioannides playing Janette, his daughter. Bishop will play Dick, Cathe's father, and Jenkins will play Pilar, her mother. Written by Jon Erwin and Jon Gunn, the film will be directed by Jon Erwin (I Can Only
Imagine, American Underdog) and Brent McCorkle (Unconditional) and produced by Kevin Downes (I Can Only Imagine, American Underdog) and Jon and Andrew Erwin (I Can Only Imagine, American Underdog), along with Josh Walsh (The Jesus Music) and Daryl Lefever (Woodlawn). "We're thrilled by the incredible cast that has come together," said Jon Erwin. "The movie is set in a very specific time and place, but the theme of finding a deeper meaning to life, in the midst of a fractured and broken world, is timeless. In his iconic performances, Kelsey has a proven ability to connect with audiences in a real, vulnerable way, which will make him a tremendous presence in this film." Grammer added, "Jesus has been a profound influence in my life. I am proud to be a part of this film." Erwin added, "If anything has been made clear over the past few years, it is how much we need each other. Yet with each passing day, it feels like we are more disconnected than ever before. The true story in Jesus Revolution reminds us that hope is never lost, and through even the most challenging of times, with faith, change is possible." Join there Facebook Page for updates:
soldiers walked through crowded streets in Konotop, Ukraine, threatening to release hand grenades if the people of this city in northeast Ukraine did not submit to them. Mayor Artem Semenikhin, rallied the people in this town in Sumy Oblast, just 100 miles from the Russian border, and they resisted the soldiers, pla- cing their lives at risk by their defiance. MercyProjects (MercyProjects.org), headed by Jeff Thompson, has helped build and sustain the Hearts of Love Center in Konotop since 2005. The facility, under the direction of Lena
Yuschenko said, "God made His miracle today. The people of Konotop said we will fight the Russian invaders. So far, the Russians have decided to wait and not to shell us. Please be in prayer for us." Thompson, who first began the now diverse MercyProjects outreach as a Bible-smuggler into the former Soviet Union in 1980, immediately flew to Eastern Europe to coordinate assistance with ministry partners there. Thompson said, "We are working from Hungary at the moment, organizing ongoing care for the Konotop children in the
He noted that when he arrived at the office in Hungary, waiting Ukrainian refugees were clamoring for urgently needed medical supplies and sought the assistance of MercyProjects to deliver them to Ukraine. "We are doing everything possible to care for the children and staff in Konotop, but the need is much greater than that. It's heart-breaking to see the devastation in the eyes of refugees, and we are helping all we can, in every way we can." You can learn more and offer your support at www.mercyprojects.org/ +++

Truckers to Make a Stand on the Hill: What to Expect When You Step Foot Into Washington D.C. By Right Wire Report | www.christiannewswire.com

Right Wire Report, submits the following and is available for comment: As the battle for freedom between Truckers and officials marches on for our neighbors in Canada, Truckers in the United States are creating their own convoy to head to our nation's capital to peacefully redress their government. This convoy will include many of who are also ready to stand against the mandates. What this means for corrupted politicians is an attempt to use their power to silence the majority by any means necessary, which we are already seeing done to our freewww.facebook.com/Je- dom-loving neighbors in susRevolutionMovie the North. Therefore, it +++ would be wise to have a JESUS IS LORD! look at the many scare tactics the swamp will try to use in an attempt to divide The Truckers in March. Attempting an arrest will be the first tactic for anyone the authorities see as vulnerable, the reason why this scare tactic is successful is that no one expects to be arrested in a peaceful protest. With this upcoming convoy, it is guaranteed the police will betray the constitution despite the protestor's support for them. Thus, having a buddy system big enough for
ing the capital. Make certain to know all weapon laws for the jurisdiction as well. The next tactic is the removal of resources; this means creating a shortage of fuel or food for anyone who will be in D.C. next month. This tactic is already being used in Canada, with reports of police officers confiscating gasoline from fellow truckers along with arresting anyone who helped fuel the trucks. In the case of food, Mayor Muriel Bowser may encourage nearby restaurants to close when the convoy arrives. Which will not only lead to a lack of food in the area but also a lack of bathrooms as well. For that reason, either plan to stash excess food and gas or find Trucker-friendly places that will allow you to hold out for the next couple of days or even weeks in advance. Lastly, be aware of the tyrant's favorite tactic, the manipulation of me dia. Without a doubt, this convoy will be portrayed as another government takeover when in reality it is mothers, fathers, husbands, and wives unable to provide for their families due to the strict mandates causing irreparable economic dam-
the convoy in a negative light to distract from their corruption. I strongly encourage that you either rehearse what you will want to say or don't engage at all. That way you don't give any form of ammunition for the mainstream media to continue their deception, or allow crazy left-wing agitators to recognize you. When, and it is not an if, a saboteur appears waving white supremacy symbols, immediately separate from that individual and publicly announce that the person is not part of the convoy and does not represent the movement. Remember that this may be the last stand before the United States falls to an unrecognizable dystopic vision, and never forget that there are more of us than there are of them. Wage the battle with honor, civility, dignity, and remain lawful. Stepping into the swamp will alert these corrupted officials, who will make their greatest attempt yet to target, smear, and intimidate those who oppose them. As long as we are united and prepared, we will be on our way to writing history on how we regained our freedoms once again. +++
