‘The story of Possum Trot is the solution to the foster care crisis and it’s a roadmap for every Catholic Church.’
A moving new film coming to theaters on the Fourth of July with a free screening this week is opening hearts and minds to not only all the children languishing in the foster care system but what one church can do when they answer the call of Christ: to care for the widow and the orphan.
It begins with Donna Martin (Nika King), the wife of Reverend Martin (Demetrius Grosse) mourning the loss of her mother in a Christian church called Bennet Chapel located in a small East Texas town called Possum Trot. After discerning the call to adopt a child through foster care, her life is given new meaning — and it reverberates to her husband — who in turn inspires all 22 families in his church to adopt 77 children.
Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot is a true story and the children who were adopted are very real. The film actually shows the real people at the end grown with their own children.
When looking to adopt children, the Martins specifically requested the difficult ones, “the ones no one wants” because deep down Reverend Martin believed, “There shouldn’t be a child without a home.”
