When his parish closes, a big-hearted California preacher is dispatched to a church in tiny Eufala, Arizona (population: 4521), a land of rodeos, square dances, love-struck goats, and amateur musicals. Can Pastor Randy and his loved ones keep their sanity long enough to inspire a community that’s gone astray? Starring Dina Meyer and Bruce Davison, this comic tale shows that a small town is a perfect place for a great big miracle.

"Fishes N’ Loaves: Heaven Sent" is a delightful film about what happens when we follow our calling, even if our
journey there is rough going at first. Pastor Randy Michaels (Patrick Muldoon) is asked to leave his church in L.A.
and is reassigned to Eufala, Ariz. His wife, Mary Louise (Dina Meyer), doesn’t want to go at first and even talks her
husband into working with her brother at a restaurant. But Mary Louise quickly realizes that her husband is
miserable, so she encourages him and says that she and their two kids, Chrissy and Peter, will move with him and
make the most of their new location. So they leave the city for the country. Relocating doesn’t seem like a good
decision at first, especially when their vehicle and moving van come up missing. But the reason it went missing
becomes clear, and Pastor Randy and Mary Louise are surprised by the hospitality and warmth of their new
church family. Pastor Randy is supposed to find a permanent replacement for the church’s retiring pastor, Ezekiel
(Bruce Davison), but everyone but Randy soon discovers that he and his family fit in nicely. His wife becomes a
consultant to a beauty salon owner in the church, his daughter becomes involved in the church play, and his son
joins the high school baseball team. Pastor Randy is concerned when the candidates just don’t seem right for the
church. But who is the right person? You will have to watch the film to see how it all ends. This movie features
humor and wonderful themes, such as being loyal to family and keeping in mind that God has a purpose in our
lives, even when it is not clear for a time. We excitedly award this film our "Faith- Friendly" Seal for ages 12-plus.
The film is clear that God can use small things, such as fish and bread, when people place them in God’s hands.
Also, make sure and watch for the youth pastor’s wild and energetic dance moves during the credits, during the
church’s play about Noah and the ark. I dare you not to laugh.
