2 Chronicles 7:14
"If My people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." |

In today society, people are too often gripped with the realities of high gas prices, crime, broken families and a fear of terrorism. America is fragmented over many serious issues which form a distraction and keep many from truly living the American Dream.
Many of the problems began when prayer and the Bible were taken out of our public schools from 1962-1963. Statistics show that since 1963 (the year our car was made) violent crime and teen suicide have gone up 400% and teen pregnancy has tripled. As youth in America today, we are often seen as apathetic, calloused and hopelessly ungrateful. Our passion is to spread the hope of Christ throughout the United States again.
As modern day Lewis and Clarks, we embarked on a nostalgic road trip in a classic 1963 Mercury Comet convertible nicknamed "Gretchen." We filled the trunk with Bibles and Christian surf movies, which we handed out to random people along the way, and encouraged them to appreciate the freedoms we have left here in America . We like to think of "Gretchen" as the time capsule that helped us achieve our purpose. Our goal, now that we have finished travelling and filming, is to create an eye-opening documentary about the trip. We filmed varying segments of society and interviewed individuals as we traveled across our country. |
