What would it be like to listen to a person’s intimate recounting of their most transformative God-encounters while also watching raw moments of their everyday life unfold? This is the essence of Then Sings My Soul, bringing several stories together in a poetic collection of testimonies that culminates into a chorus of four unified voices to both inspire and challenge you.

The 45-minute film was created by a husband and wife who, together with their infant son, spent eight months in four countries among Christian communities in Kenya, Mexico, India, and Haiti. While staying with various missions organizations and creating videos for them, the overarching purpose of the trip was to find and share the stories of one individual in each country, weaving them together into a film with the hope that it might be an encouragement to the American church.

COMMUNAL EXPERIENCE

The intention for this film from the beginning was that it might be viewed at group events and churches. One of the richest pieces of feedback received from showings is the great conversation it stirs following the film. Currently, for 2025/2026, we are scheduling showings in the Richmond region where the filmmakers can be present to facilitate the group experience. If you are interested, reach out to us here!

TESTIMONIES

If Then Sings My Soul impacted you, we’d love to include your response here so that it can exist to encourage others and give testimony to what God is doing through this film! Please send written or video responses to us at ThenSingsMySoulFilm@gmail.com. Videos can be submitted as a YouTube or Vimeo link, or emailed directly via Google Drive.

The Making Of

Sit with filmmakers Derrick and Christy as they tell the story of how this film came to be — from the moment the idea was first born, to the filmmaking journey by this husband/wife/baby crew, to the postproduction process and its final release! Filled with photos and videos over the years, “The Making of Then Sings My Soul” is its own testimony of the goodness and faithfulness of the God we serve.

SUPPORT

The purpose of this project has always been that it might be a gift to the American church. It is completely free to receive all the associated materials to screen it at your group. However, we also realize that the natural response for some people is to want to give financially. If that is you, each of the four people represented in Then Sings My Soul are connected to Christian ministries which you can support. Please email us at ThenSingsMySoulFilm@gmail.com to receive info on how to give.
