“Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot,” a Christian-themed drama produced by Letitia Wright, has officially hit theaters. The inspirational film tells the true story of Reverend Martin, his wife Donna, and their congregation who transformed the foster care system in the small town of Possum Trot in East Texas.
In the 1990s, Martin and his wife led the adoption crusade that impacted the lives of nearly 80 children in the foster care system. They encouraged their congregation at Bennett Chapel Missionary Baptist Church to go through the process of adoption despite the difficulty they ensued throughout the process, resulting in several lives being saved.

In an interview with ChurchPop, Grosse said he believes the film makes the gospel “very real and tangible.”
“This was not a magic trick kind of a situation. It took tenacity. It takes steadfastness and it takes faith,” Grosse said. “It’s not without challenge that the people of Possum Trot have been able to set this standard and this bar for what it means to put faith in action for all of us.”
