This movie talks about Freedom of Religion in danger in the United States.
As Christians, we must to be ready for the persecution that will begin anytime against us.
We will be persecuted like Jesus Christ was.
In persecuted nations, suffering comes along with the faith, says KP Yohannan, author, speaker and founder of Gospel for Asia. “But in America,” says filmmaker Daniel Lusko, “we don’t know about suffering for our faith. I believe, Biblically, persecution is going to happen and we need to be prepared for it.”
Lusko is so passionate about the issue of persecution that he is investing his talent, time and soul in a new movie called The Persecuted, which spotlights the issue in a Hitchcock-like way. He has produced and directed several docudramas including “Inside the Revolution” and “Epicenter.”
“A year and a half ago,” says Lusko, “I was praying about what the Lord would have me do after making these documentaries. I felt Him leading me to create a project that would reach the world and the persecuted nations.
“One night I was awakened and sat up in bed, and the whole story was really all there,” he says of The Persecuted. “It was about an evangelist, like a Billy Graham, who at the height of his evangelistic career of spreading the simple Gospel truth, America becomes an unwelcoming environment for the Gospel.”
The Persecuted, says Lusko, who is directing and producing the movie, will take viewers on an action-packed thrill ride. The main character, nationally acclaimed evangelist John Luther, is the last obstacle in the way of sweeping religious reform in the States. When a U.S. Senator and Luther’s own supporters abduct and frame him in the murder of an innocent teenage girl, an unprecedented era of persecution is unleashed.
As evangelist turned fugitive, Luther vows to expose anyone involved with or profiting from the girl’s murder; a mission that brings him face-to-face with the coming storm of persecution that will threaten the entire Christian community in America. read more: BillyGraham.org
