Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net [Director] Brian Ivie... does a good job painting Lee as a normal man who saw a need and filled it. It is not overly aggrandizing, which I think actually makes it much more moving and relatable. Rated: B+ Apr 30, 2019 Full Review Diana Saenger ReviewExpress.com One of the most heart-warming films ever to see Rated: 5/5 Mar 7, 2015 Full Review Jessica Gibson Christianity Today The film acts best as a depiction of Pastor Lee and his church's work for these children; the sheer number of babies they rescue and the lifestyle they provide for the ones in their care is a powerful enough message. Rated: 3/4 Mar 5, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member If you enjoy watching video clips of young children, this is your film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member powerful & moving doc Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member "There are children who rely on the help of others to survive their entire lives. Many people think it is better for them to go to heaven as quickly as possible, because life on earth would be too difficult for them. But God sent them to the Earth with disabilities. They're not the unnecessary ones in the world. God sent them to earth with a purpose. Disabled children teach many people, change many people, and help people reflect upon themselves, which is why they are the educators of society." Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member An emotionally stirring portrayal of a man seeing a need in the world and fulfilling it. What makes it interesting, though, is how complex the issue is. It would be easy to look at this no-questions-asked baby drop-off as a vital and wonderful thing, but the movie spends some time diving deeper into the issue on a macro level. Great looking and important little social doc. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member What a touching film. Helps you grab a hold of a proper perspective on life, and gives you a wonderful model of what love really looks like. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Heart breaking and heart warming all wrapped up in one. If you can watch this movie without shedding a tear, then I would suggest that you should go get a heart. Pastor Lee is now one of my heroes. Bless this man and everything he is doing for these kids.
