Personal Story: Nick Manning
With over 5,000 people in attendance for the Virginia Beach Premiere of our latest film titled
Walking On Water, our staff was quickly preparing for what would be one of Walking On
Water’s largest events. Among the crowd was 16 year old Nick Manning. A few years previous
to the Virginia Beach Premiere Nick was in a nearly fatal motorcycle accident in which the
doctors said that he would not survive.
With such little hope for a normal life Nick and the Manning family clung to their hope in Jesus Christ. Nick and his dad were leaving the event at the convention center early because Nick had one of his bad headaches. As they were leaving they saw Bryan and introduced themselves. They shared their story of Nick’s accident and miraculous recovery. Bryan was moved by their testimony and invited Nick and his father to speak to the crowd. Everyone was moved by Nick’s story and many gave their lives to Christ that night. We were so thankful that God had our paths cross and that Nick was able to encourage the people at the Virginia Beach Premiere!
Premiere: Florida with Keith Case
Keith Case and his church Key Biscayne Presbyterian Church hosted a screening/outreach of Walking On Water on the small island
of Key Biscayne on December 7, 2007. We were blessed to hear the positive feedback from the local community and C.T. Taylor who
was the guest pro surfer. “I haven’t been mobbed like that ever by so many groms.” C.T. Taylor “My daughter came home raving and
said she loved it. The event was exactly what the community needed – the spirit of the event and embracing the family.” Pat Weiman
– member of the village council and surfing enthusiast “Any public place I walked on the island, people were stopping me to thank me
for the event.” Pastor Dave Moran of Key Biscayne Presbyterian Church
Walking On Water Film Update
We are currently working towards a major DVD release and
limited theatrical release of Walking on Water in the summer of
2008. Please pray with us as we seek God’s direction for the DVD
and theatrical release of this film. Our prayer is for God to lead
us to the right distributor that will provide a long-term partnership
for this film and all future Walking on Water films.
Walking On Water 2008 World Tour
One week after the world premiere of Walking On Water in October of 2007 we hit the road
on a thirteen stop tour throughout the East Coast stretching from Florida to New Jersey. We
were amazed to see what God did as the outreaches were the largest events in Walking On
Water’s history. Over 20,000 people have already attended the screenings of Walking On Water
and we are looking forward to seeing what God will do throughout the continued World
Tour of Walking On Water in 2008. The next stops of this world tour will be on the West Coast
of the United States throughout January, February and March along with the Australia-New
Zealand Tour from February to July.
