The American Miracle is alive and well!
And IFA was there to witness it.
My husband, Rich Swingle (IFA contributing writer and prayer host), and I attended the red carpet premiere of The American Miracle: Our Nation Is No Accident, aĀ film based on the first chapters of Michael Medvedās book of the same title.
Who is praying on the wall?
The American Miracle: Our Nation Is No Accident Premiere
The film from acclaimed filmmaker Timothy P. Mahoney (Patterns of Evidence, Thinking Man films, Heroic Pictures) premiered Wednesday, June 4, at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
The Terrace Theatre was packed with donors, cast members, and crew of the documentary-drama, which focused on the hand of God as He shaped the nation. Nichole C. Mullen opened the gala with a stunning patriotic and Christian medley.
The film depicts some ā but not all ā of the Providential interventions that enabled George Washington and his rag-tag American troops to defeat the worldās greatest military power.
Miracle after miracle transpired to enable the American victory, but the new-born country was imperiled by serious disagreements about governance that emerged during the Constitutional Congress of 1787. After an important address by Benjamin Franklin, portrayed by Barry Stevens, the delegates inked our Constitution.
Historians from Princeton, Yale, and other notable institutions corrected current misperceptions about American history. Chief among them: The Foundersā view of God and the Important role of Black people in the establishment of America.
Meet the Creators.
At the red carpet, IFA interviewedĀ executive producersĀ Ralf W. Augstroze, Douglas B. Maddox and his wife Anne, Jodie Thompson Jr. and his wife Suzi, Director Mahoney, andĀ screenwriterĀ John GrootersĀ (Sabina,Ā Tortured for Christ):
On Tuesday, weāll share more red carpet interviews with Mr. Medved, key cast membersĀ ā includingĀ Pat Boone,Ā Nicole C. Mullen, andĀ Kevin SorboĀ ā and other key contributors, plus Ben Carson, who was in attendance.
Following the film, which earned a standing ovation, Mr. Mahoney and Mr. Medved addressed the audience. Mr. Medved marveled at the miracles that comprise Americaās history. He noted how almost every American has a miracle story to tell, while sharing his own.
After ten years of separation, his grandmother was finally able to join her husband in America. After being here for some time, she was feeling so poorly that she thought she had a tumor.
The doctor disagreed, telling her she was pregnant. At age 50, she was dubious, but the child turned out to be Mr. Medvedās father!
Fill the Theatres!
For more information, see IFA Chief Program Officer Kris Kubal’s interview with Executive Producer Augstroze on Pray with Americaās Leaders on May 15. See also Richās IFA article on the film here.
During the May 15 webcast, Mr. Augstroze stressed the importance of full theatres for the filmās three-day limited release. When theatres are packed, cinema executives will rebook the film for longer runs.
The American Miracle is an important answer to our prayers for the nation. It will be in theatres as a Fathom Event starting Monday, June 9 and running through Wednesday, June 11.
Another answer to prayer: The Kennedy Center featured The American Miracle, but canceled a āPride Monthā event originally scheduled for that night.
We will be sharing more miracles and answers to IFA prayers on our prayer webcast this coming Tuesday, June 10.

I praise God for the movie American Miracle and really want to see it but the nearest movie theater where it is showing is 320 miles away. I would ask that somehow it could get into more areas so more people could see it.
Connie, I’m so sorry to hear it’s so far from you! It’s only in 800 theaters right now, so we’re agreeing with you in prayer that it will do well enough where it is that they will be able to extend the release and expand to more theaters!
I have just prayed the above-written prayer! AND YES! IS ABOUT TIME! GOD IS MOVING IN THIS, OUR BLESSED USA!
God bless all involved in filming this well-researched Godly film! Hallelujah!
I will try to see it on June 9 thru 11 I have some appointments. I pray if I canāt that it will be shown at a later date. Thanks for those who listened and followed Godās guidance in the past to make the USA a godly nation. May those who are fighting against the evil that is trying to remove God from our lives be strengthened and determined to defeat that evil. I trust in God and I surrender to His will. ššš
I’m looking forward to seeing this movie. Thanks for the well-written article that informs Americans about the truth of our founding. Bless you Joyce
LOED GOD
THANK YOUFOR THIS PRESENTATION THAT SHOWS YOUR HAND IN THE CREATION ON THIS COUNTRY. THANK YOU FOR FREEDOM AND EDUCATION AND YOUR PRESCENCE IN OUR LIVES.
AMEN
What a marvelous undertaking to produce a film, that honestly presents the spiritual heritage of our nation. My ancestors were French Protestant Huguenots that immigrated to the colonies to find religious freedom and a new beginning. As a result of the immigration of the Huguenots and other religious groups, God paved the way for the mid 18th century Great Awakening and later the American Revolution and the founding of our nation. Praise be to the God of heaven who helped us establish this country as one nation under God.
Bill,
We had a tour of Paris focused on the story of the Huguenots, and it was heartbreaking! Iām glad youāre an example of how the Lord brought good things out of evil choices!
Lord, bless this movie and help there be lots of people-a large turnout, and make it be shown in many theaters in the near future and that people know about it and come to see it in the weeks and even months ahead. Please bless all those in the making of this movie-writers, directors, and crew. Keep them and all of us safe.
Lord, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, the event was canceled at the Kennedy Center and this one was put in its place! I also thank you for not seeing as much as I have in the past the push for pride in the stores, and may it continue! And please remove the pride parades! Let this be a horrible thing of the past. Amen Lord, thank you.

Thank You, YHVH, for this film and for elevating it to a place of prominence in our nation. I would ask for even greater availability, because our local theatre is not carrying it. Please use it to clarify what is true and what is false regarding the historical narrative. You showed Yourself strong in the founding of our nation and its government. Please do so, again! Please bless it financially, so that its impact will increase and continue. Bless all involved in its production.
Mary Beth,
Iām sorry itās not showing near you! Itās only in 800 theaters right now, but pray each of them is packed so they can have a larger release.
Rich, we were going to be in Dallas for The Israel Summit and had bought tickets for the movie to attend it there before coming home. But the Summit was cancelled because of anti-Semitic terrorist threats (so sad). We didn’t think a 2-3 hour drive both ways made rational sense just to attend the movie. But we are praying for great success, so it is released in more theatres – and it has a long run!!
Father as we read this post we unite our prayers of blessings for this film . We stand shoulder to shoulder to reject the enemies attacks to subdue your word . We proclaim that this film will spread like wildfire across our country.. In our Savior Jesus name we pray and by His blood we rely Amen !!!
