Synopsis
The year is 2009, the church is Calvary Christian Center, the streets are Del Paso Heights, and the Pastor is Dr. Phillip Goudeaux Sr.; a pastor who is determined to win the city of Sacramento for God. The only thing standing in his way is the boss man of the streets. His name is Suicide.
He puts fear into the hearts and minds of everyone who works for him, buys drugs from him, or lives in his hood. No man has the guts to face him. No minister has the confidence to try and get him saved. And everyone believes that if someone even attempted to, they’d be killed. That is, everyone but Pastor Phillip Goudeaux.
He believes, trusts, and has full confidence that God can, and will reach this man. So the Pastor, himself, steps out on faith; believing that he is the one that God will use to change Suicide's life.
And by the end of the story, many lives are changed. Many more souls are saved because of Pastor Goudeaux’s bravery and courage.
The question is: Will Suicide be amongst them?
