Noah Davis (Joe Pacheco) is a minister who is grieving the death of his wife. He is raising two daughters by himself. When he receives a message from a good friend of his who has dedicated his life to a mission in the inner city on Salvation Street, he decides to uproot his daughters and move to the city to try to help people. When one of the elderly ladies takes ill, he tries to comfort her, but she is longing for him to find her older grandson who has left home is out in the streets. Noah sets his sights on bringing this boy home to where his younger brother who really looks up to him and really needs him. But life in the city is hard and it’s really dangerous messing with those criminal elements. Is it worth it to risk his daughter’s safety to do God’s work?
This Christian movie is not really Christmas, but it’s suitable for a holiday story. This is a Christian film though, and though it’s not really in your face, still it’s very unlikely that these things could work like this in real life. It lacks the edgy street feel and is about as “gangish” as West Side Story is. It’s got a great message and strong values, especially the need to respect and of home and family. But it gives me the feeling of someone who lives in a safe well off suburban tract trying to write what they would imagine the “streets” feels like. You might want to seek this out if you live in a Christian home and want to view a heartwarming story of life in the ghetto, but for the most part, I would expect most people would think this feels like an after-school drama and is going to hate it, so be warned. It’s got a lot of sweetener.
