God's blessing, success of Facing the Giants pave way for third movie from ministry

Plans are in the works for a third movie from the church which produced the surprise hit Facing the Giants. At the same time, Sherwood Pictures' initial venture into moviemaking is being prepared for worldwide release.

Facing the Giants was produced by Sherwood Pictures, a ministry of Sherwood Baptist Church of Albany, Georgia. The movie, which was made for $100,000, has generated millions of dollars in sales and allowed the church to build an 82-acre sports complex as an outreach to the community.

Alex Kendrick, media pastor at Sherwood Baptist Church, is now in the process of hammering out a final script for Sherwood Pictures' new movie, Fireproof. Kendrick says the movie focuses on a firefighter who has a troubled marriage, seeks out and searches God's Word, and realizes his marriage cannot be fixed until he gets right with the Lord.
