OUR PRIORITY
THE STORY OF JESUS has risen to the number one priority of VMFA and its partners. This is a narrative feature film written by Dr. Kevin McAfee & Jim Gromer. The two writers began collaborating together as Jim Gromer placed THE STORY OF JESUS inside the non-profit ministry.
As the largest endeavor in the film organization, it becomes the basis for ADVENTURES FROM THE BIBLE. This is an Old & New Testament series focusing on Biblical Accuracy and story dimensions from secondary characters brining to life, the Bible in film.
Our dream is to create impact with the living Word and provide a cornerstone for real truth inside the word of God.
Our focus is on young to middle age children. The place where we live right now is filled with many of the same issues people in God's Word were facing. It's time to bring these EPIC adventures to life.
THE BIG VISION - ADVENTURES FROM THE BIBLE SERIES begins with JESUS...
ADVENTURES FROM ISSAC
ADVENTURES FROM ESTHER
ADVENTURES FROM ISAIAH
ADVENTURES FROM JEREMIAH
ADVENTURES FROM JOHN
ADVENTURES FROM PAUL
ADVENTURES FROM PETER
