“Your life as a Christian should make nonbelievers question their disbelief in God.” ~Dietrich Bonhoeffer

They’re saying it’s a miracle that this movie even exists. You can witness a series of real-life miracles when you go see “Beyond Utopia” in theaters, only TODAY. It’s a geopolitical thriller that chronicles the true story of how one pastor helped one thousand people escape from the oppression of North Korea. The footage and the peril is real… as are the miracles. Join Pastor Kim, who they call a modern-day Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Director Madeleine Gavin, Interpreter Sunny Parker, and Erica for a conversation that will fill you with courage and have you thanking God for your freedom… and praying for those who are not yet free. “The greatest risks are the ones we take for each other.”

Erica talks to Alisa Vitello, who organized an event called "I Can and I Will" run. It includes a 5K, 10K, and kids event and was inspired to create it after her daughter was diagnosed with a condition requiring weekly enzyme replacement therapy. Her daughter's bravery in dealing with her condition and overcoming her fear of needles inspired the mantra "I can and I will."
