"The Invitation" is a visual and musical experience that captures stories in a city dump where over 14,000 families live in the Philippines. On our adventure we discovered children who were overcoming unbeatable odds. We were challenged to ask ourselves, "What would happen if we accepted the greatest invitation in history?"
For
the last decade I've had the privilege of dancing with my Heavenly
Father in the midst of a hurricane known as POVERTY. I've witnessed
countless forgotten stories that have rocked everything I believe about
my faith. I've been challenged to go deeper to embrace the core of what
causes an outpouring of hope to the hopeless, love to the unloved and
peace in the midst of suffering.
Not long ago I traveled into a place with my closest friends where we captured a visual and musical experience of forgotten stories in a city dump where over 14,000 families live in the Philippines. On our adventure we discovered children who were overcoming unbeatable odds. We were challenged to ask ourselves, "What would happen if we accepted the greatest invitation in history?"
Each time I walk the dirt roads of the poor it's as if the Father extends an invitation to show me a true life of compassion through unique expressions of worship. I believe this connection between worship and compassion moves us to sit with a child in the slums, save a young woman from slavery, walk a road less traveled to a place we've never been to help someone we've never met, to sing a song we've never sung and believe again that the Church can really change the world.
Forgotten Stories is birthed out of the experience and is an awareness movement focused on sharing the needs of people who live in extreme poverty. In fact, proceeds from the first DVD/CD, "The Invitation," will go directly to help those living in the city dump outside of Metro Manila.
