Local Pastor to
Produce Biblical Film
Stephen Missick, associate pastor of King of Saints
Tabernacle on 2228 FM 1725, Cleveland, Texas, 77328 is producing a biblical
movie that dramatized the story of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ.
The script is derived from the Bible and other ancient
sources such as the writings of the Early Church Fathers.
The film is anticipated to be produced by WalkerCable,
Productions of Conroe, Texas. WalkerCable anticipates to begin filming in early
2015. Sets at Alamo Village in Brackettville, Texas will serve as Biblical
Lands.
The working title of the film is “The Acts of the Apostle
Thaddeus.”
‘From the very beginning of the film industry, movies
dramatizing stories from the Bible have been made,” Missick said, “Many of
these films are classics, such as Cecil B. DeMille’s “The Ten Commandments” and Charlton Heston’s
“Ben-Hur.” However, I want to do something totally different. I was to do
something that audiences have never seen before.”
In this movie, Pastor Missick will be telling the story of
the Apostle Thaddeus. According to early Church Historians, Thaddeus
evangelized what is today Iraq, Iran and southern Turkey.
“With the rise of ISIS, this story is timely and relevant, “
Missick said, “ ISIS is trying to destroy the ancient Christian community
founded by Thaddeus and Thomas.
According to Pastor Missick, “The Acts of Thadeus” tells the
story of the origin of the Assyrian Church of the East and the Armenian Church.
Pastor Missick describes the story of Thaddeus as a very
fascinating one. He says, “According to Church historians, Thaddeus was the
groom at the marriage of Cana in Galilee, where Jesus turned the water into
wine. Also, there is a connection between
Thaddeus and the Shroud of Turin.” The
Shroud of Turin is a relic kept in Turin, Italy that is believed to be the
burial shroud of Jesus and it bears an impression of the body of a crucified
man. Many Shroud experts believe that
the Shroud of Turin was known as the image of Edessa and that it was brought to
Edessa by Thaddeus who gave it as a gift to the Syriac king Abgar. Missick
says, “Those who believe that the Shroud of Turin is authentic believe that
there is a connection between the Shroud and the Apostle Thaddeus. The Shroud
will be featured in the movie.”
