the plate with a wonderful delivery. Kelinda: The movie has been praised by many reputable Christian leaders such as Dr. James Dobson, Bob Lepine, Ray Comfort and more. They are all saying how this movie has the opportunity to impact a whole new generation. What are your personal hopes for The Pilgrim’s Progress? Steve: My personal goal is to be the second most watched film on the mission field after The Jesus Film and to encourage other film makers to make great films specifically for the mission field and offer them for free! To make a film to share with the mission field also means it has to be a story that translates well and, from the onset, investors and financiers need to know, and agree, that mission opportunities will be given precedence over paid licensing agreements. If we do not begin with the end in mind, we may inadvertently make decisions based on financial reward that restricts the tremendous potential on the mission field. Robert: My hope for the film is first of all that it penetrates the heart of the viewer–that it encourages and inspires believers and that it draws those that seek something beyond this earth to a quest of their own. I believe we all long for heaven in some way, though she may not know it. I think the “Celestial City” draws us to the King and it is my prayer that the story, the depth of the allegory, the words of the King embedded in it, will bring many to the Celestial King– Jesus Christ. It is because He led me in my own quest that I now have the blessing of working on this film. Connect with The Pilgrim’s Progress Solutions • 13
