Persecuted Page #4

Synopsis: 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. Out on personal recognizance, Luther escapes police surveillance in search of the truth. And suddenly a once-normal life is targeted by a team of ex-military operatives who wage a relentless campaign to eliminate the incriminating evidence. As evangelist turned fugitive, Luther vows to expose anyone involved with, or profiting from, the girl's murder. It's a mission that brings him face-to-face with the coming storm of persecution that will threaten the entire American Christian community.

bold leadership.

Now we have a multitude in panic,

and millions of lives that

are looking for a direction,

and we have to speak into those lives

a message of hope

in these dark times.

How many people can you

reach on your email database?

Oh, we've got a boatload.

I guess I'd have to check.

But you will check, won't you, Ryan?

I know, I've been watching

you for years now.

You do fine selfless work, don't you?

Well, I'd like to think

God had a hand in that

but I appreciate that.

This might be your time to shine.

Great leadership knows when

to seize its opportunity.

Now we need to bring this church

together now more than ever.

We need to rise up and

resurrect this ministry

and take it in a brave new direction.

Are you with me?

What can I say?

I'm your man.

Glad to hear it.

- Hi.

- Hi.

I'd like a room just for the night.

Think we can manage that.

- Great.

- Let me see what we have.

Something wrong with your eyes?

Oh, no.

Just, looks like...

How's the room?

Good. I just need a credit

card and a valid ID.

...and his disappearance has sent

shockwaves throughout the entire region...

Ready to go?

Does this work?

Yeah, that should be fine.

Okay. I'll be right back. I just need

to go check on something really quick.

Just wait here just a moment, okay.

Yes, hello. I'd like to report

a suspicious person, please.

His history of crime and addiction

in Luther's apparently

unstable early years.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Amazing grace

How sweet the sound

Ryan, please stop.

- That saved...

- Please.

I thought that was your favorite.

Hm. All right. I'm all over it.

But I got to tell you

something, kiddo.

I am not going to let you feel guilty

for trying to take care of yourself.

I get it.

Nobody saw this coming, obviously.

Yet, John is out running around,

doing whatever he's doing.

I don't get it.

But I promised you that I was

going to watch over you and...

like you're my own.

And as you know,

I am a man of his word.

In any event,

have you even heard from John?

That's my point. See?

Me neither. I know how you feel.

You have to believe that.

And I'll tell you why. Listen...

I feel the same way.

But I can't stand what

this is doing to you.

I mean, he's left you like you're

a single mother or something.

No.

He is coming home to this family.

You have to accept this, Monica.

Your husband is a fugitive.

- No!

- He is a fugitive.

No.

Well,

I pray you're right.

Every night I pray you're right.

And all he has to do is show up,

tell everybody what actually happened

and we'll get to the bottom of this.

But you know what, kiddo?

God works all things.

Thanks.

I want to state for the record
