A Shepherd’s Quest By: Tony Victor In a decaying Queens neighborhood, Joshua Hollis, a blind Baptist minister, struggles to save his church from foreclosure and certain demolition by developers. He works daily to maintain and repair his church and to keep his dwindling congregation alive. During his daily exercise routine he ponders on how to save his church and community. Despite his efforts, Joshua’s flock keeps waning and his mortgage falls long passed the bank’s deadline. With no hope in sight, Chantel Lewis walks into his life, as if by divine intervention. She tells a dubious story of a little known miraculous vessel, hidden inside a monastery at the base of a volcano in North Africa. It would surely bring fame and fortune to his church. Sheer desperation compels Joshua to embark on a perilous journey in search of the vessel. However, the evil he encounters along the way could have only been hatched out of hell itself. This is a journey of redemption, forgiveness, determination and, yes, the power of faith in the daily and eternal struggle of good versus evil.
