Ohio church supports teen in production of biblical movie

Uhrichsville, Ohio

(NCN News submissions) It’s not every day the dreams of a few church youth group members turn into a feature film, but 18-year-old Richie Johns has accomplished just that with the support of Rush Community Church of the Nazarene. RUTH: A FAITHFUL JOURNEY releases on DVD and web streaming 18 August.

The 92-minute drama is a modern day retelling of the Book of Ruth. It is the first film produced by the church and written and directed by Johns. 

Ruth premiered in April with 12 showings at New Philadelphia, Ohio’s Quaker Cinema.

Shot in rural Ohio, the idea for the project came during a church trip when the group decided it would be fun to make a modernized Christian movie. Johns and his eventual associate producers, Samuel and Gabriel Brewer, thought of potential Bible stories that could be made into a modern adaptation.
