In this video I watched with Pastor Marvin Miles and Tiny"DeeBo"Lister they are being intervied by the host of Good News Talk Show. This show went on to discuss about the play they developed. It started from an incident in which a Detroit youth was shot point blank and died. The motivation behind the play was looking at what good can they get out of this situation. They realized something had to be done so Pastor Marivn Miles flew in "Deebo" and they worked on developing a play which would touch the lives of a city that is known for its high crime and murder rates. "Deebo" speaks of his various roles in TV & movies and says that none of the roles he plays matches the biggest "gangster", Jesus. He goes on to talk about who else do you know that rose from the dead after 3 days, who else could feed 5,000 from a biscuit and a piece of fish.
I personally know of Tiny Lister's involvement in Christian media because he also came to my church in Sacramento, Calvary Christian Center. He did a play at my church called "Gotta Get Out" In this play it is very graphic and has the goal of reaching out to the youth to minister the gospel to them in a very realistic setting of rape, murder, suicide, drugs, etc. This is another yet successful venture for urban Christian media.In this article I have included the commercial from "Gotta get Out":
