ORDINARY PEOPLE Drama
The backbone of the story is Angus Buchan – at the 2009 Mighty Men Conference – sharing his simple but rock solid faith with a few hundred thousand men. We experience his on-stage heart attack and the resulting personal insight he received from God regarding his own ministry. In the vast crowd we find three typical men – all in the process of being touched by the Holy Spirit through Angus's words.
We find Andre Cloete – a twenty something man who became ensnared in alcohol abuse and a wasted life – due to his broken relationship with his 'strictly religious' and absent father. Then there is John Peters – a middle aged panel beater from Bethlehem who's business, family relationships and health have been spiraling down to the brink of collapse. Lastly we meet Lucky Nzimande – a young, black criminal who naively attempts to hi-jack the vehicle of two ex special-forces policemen en route to the Mighty Men Conference.
