My next project!

I've been hoping to make this announcement for 15 years. There have been so many painful moments and near misses in that time. But now I finally get to make the movie Amanda and I have sought and envisioned and cried over.
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever is a beautiful book and I'm dedicated to making it a beautiful movie.

WooHoo!! That is sooo exciting!! Amazing how God's timing is always soooo different from our own......"soon." Your endless faith in God's plan for you gives me such hope and inspiration through my own endless journey!! I cannot wait to see this movie. I have a Chosen budget jar for all the upcoming releases so now I guess I need to add this to the jar as well. I have no doubt that this will be an amazing movie! I will also add these requests to my prayer list! 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@hilloasis]

My family enjoyed this story for years during the Christmas season. You will do very well by it, Dallas & Amanda. Can't wait!

[@marieolabode7406]

Congratulations May God continue to lead and guide you and Amanda as He grant you favor through every stage of the production: 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@mercifulcollective8856]

What wonderful joy you have shared with us! I checked, and the book is even translated to my language, norwegian. Greetings from Norway

[@hernameispiperconnolly]

This video was so moving! Your excitement for this project jumps off the screen! I adore the book :)

[@DallasJenkinsOfficial]

Appreciate that!

[@user-id7dt2dc8c]

I am so excited! Thanks for giving us a heads up and asking us to pray about your trip to Canada! God is leading you and Amanda! Blessings!

[@DallasJenkinsOfficial]

[@Lord9Genesis]

Dallas: so excited to have another real Christmas movie to look forward to! I actually enjoyed Gavin Stone and your unique take on a Christian movie so I can't wait to see what you can do with this!

[@janicemartin3180]

So excited to see how God continues to use you to bring His message to our hurting world. Thank you for being open to where He continues to lead you and Amanda.

[@DallasJenkinsOfficial]

Appreciate it!

[@user-vh2wr1cj6t]

I am watching this video sitting in my living room crying like an idiot because I am so happy that you are making this movie. I so love this book. I taught Sunday School and worked in Children's Church etc. What really kills me about this book is that for 30 years I worked in the public school system as a Special Education Paraeducator. For 30 years the Herdmans, in one form or another, were my babies. I know you will do an amazing job on this movie. I can't wait to see it. I will be in prayer for you all.

[@DallasJenkinsOfficial]

So beautiful to hear, I can't wait to bring this story to the world.

[@CharlotteParrish-o7o]

One of favorite for many years. I taught children's church for 25 years an occasionally would have some Herdsman kids.. lol...

[@monicaw5036]

Oh I'm so excited! Your enthusiasm alone makes it super exciting. I'll have to go read the book now😉. Love y'all so much, Dallas it was so great to meet you in Dallas lol at Chosen Con. Both of you are so sweet. I can't wait for this❤ God Bless you! ❤🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️

[@bradleyfunkhouser]

I've never heard of this book until now. Hearing your passion for it has me moved. I'm incredibly excited for you! I have no doubt you will do this story justice.

[@KendraCostner]

I read this book in elementary school and it has always been one of my favs. I reread it again just last year! Would highly recommend

[@DallasJenkinsOfficial]

It really is a great story.

[@Maythe4cebwithu]

I'll have to get it!!

[@elijahjohnston-ligesha]

@@DallasJenkinsOfficial amen.

[@DawnD-o6g]

I'm so looking forward to seeing the movie! And because it's Dallas and Amanda's project I know it will be the story told excellent!

[@miriamcapri9851]

Beautiful Well done You gave your part 2+ 5 and never give it up It’s mean to be your movie, you had even notes in your old book God was testing your patience. Can’t wait to see it. God luck and God bless you ❤

[@simonbhray]

Excited to see what God does through this! Remain reliant on HIm! Proverbs 3:5-6

[@lynnettelg]

You take all the time you need @DallasJenkins! Don’t feel rushed. The Chosen Army has your back. Looking forward to more from you, Amanda and God Almighty! ❤🙌

[@DallasJenkinsOfficial]

I don't think others share the "don't feel rushed" sentiment. :)

[@evysouzaoficial]

I'm very excited for this project! count on my prayers!

[@nancykathrynharlanklopfens2730]

Ohhhh I couldn’t be happier about this!!! Praying for you and all who are involved in making this beautiful movie!!! Thank you for not giving up!! God is sooooo faithful!!!

[@DallasJenkinsOfficial]

Thanks!

[@user-yv8df6nb1c]

I love the Chosen, and my husband and I saw season 4 in the movie theater. Now we are showing season for to our adult children. They love it! Dallas, you will do well directing this. Can't WAIT to see it in November!

[@deborahcaudle6881]

Don't listen to the haters. Some despised Jesus

[@dovesrun]

It's all God. God has you Dallas. Congratulations

[@belasius2895]

I Will keep watch for this new bit of your work to be released (along with the upcoming seasons of The Chosen). The Messengers & The Shepherd mix to come as well...🎄 I've always had a soft spot for Christmas stories myself. That you have a lot on your plate goes without saying...but have you considered a Christmas story/film as seen from the Wisemen's perspective? When I was young (60+ years ago) I remember one called Amahl & the Night Visitors. (I based a Sunday School pageant on it myself 20 some years ago). I'm sitting here listening to you & Amanda talking about acquiring the rights & all that's involved. But I've no doubt whatsoever that should you & your band of geniuses take on such a task...it would be something special...Keep up the good work & God Bless you all..~prayers are with you~

[@teresamccoy596]

Awesome!

[@scottamagie3972]

Growing up in a rural pastor's family in the 80's, we LOVED this story and I still watch the old TV movie every year at Christmas with my daughters. Funny thing is, I'm now an indie filmmaker and I too have been researching the rights to this for years, wanting to remake it as a longer feature film (the original TV movie is very short, yet somehow still very powerful). Since the rights weren't available, I instead wrote a Christmas script where the main character says it's her favorite Christmas movie and then the guy brings a copy for them to watch when she's at a low moment. It's a turning-point for both characters and they start to see their own stories differently. I remember thinking, "maybe that scene will cause someone to track down the original book or movie" because I too feel like this story can change lives. Yet I too didn't want anyone else to remake it and screw it up, so I had to laugh when I heard that you (Dallas) were remaking it because there's literally NO OTHER living director that I would be okay with doing this. Then I see this video and realize that you've been preparing your whole career for this and, because of your platform, more people will see it than I could ever bring to the theater! God is so good and His plans are perfect! Dallas, you were "chosen" for such a time as this. Movies don't save people... only the Spirit can do that... but God is directing this and He's picked you as His humble A.D. so serve HIS vision and this film will plant good seed in so many fertile hearts! P.S. I'm now adding "Pray for Pageant" to my weekly calendar.

[@OsmaniRodriguezArtist]

SO Excited for you guys. Love, LOVE, LOVE it! Congratulations!! Praying for you.

[@deet7986]

So great the process God has taken you both on. Love the joy you share in how the process has unfolded. Thank you for laboring for this🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@PARACLETEPRAYERMINISTERY]

Praise the Lord Dallas and Amanda. We will be praying for you guys. Me and all in Paraclete Prayer Ministry. What a testimony.

[@annejeannette59]

I haven’t ever read the book, but now I want to!

[@CassieTaylor-gt4ut]

Re-watching in honor of the trailer coming out. I'm blown away by the goodness of God, and beyond excited to see it Nov 8th!! ❤

[@user-kz5xe6ee7y]

My husband and I are so excited for you two. We love to hear how God so intricately puts His plan together and how He anoints our hearts to wait with Him for completion. We are so blessed by the anointing God has placed on your lives and to pray for you and your family. Much love to you both and God bless you richly with Himself.

[@melodiepotter599]

Prayer going up! You two are amazing. Once again proof that "In God's timing" means everything. Your heart's desire has been fulfilled once again. Thank you for sharing it! I love all that you have done and what you're about to do. You are moving Christian programming to a whole new level. It's wonderful. Merry Christmas and God bless you and yours.

[@sumanann3195]

Can't wait to see it! Will be praying.

[@DallasJenkinsOfficial]

Hope you like it!

[@eumatheushoracio]

You two are amazing and talented people with open hearts for God and human souls thirsty for His love and care for us little beings. Thank you, thank you...❤

[@amytroutt5497]

I'm so excited to see Imogen as Mary and Gladys as the angel shoving the shepherds up to the stage and yelling, "Hey! Unto you a child is born!" Will Lips from MASH play the pageant director again??😊❤ (I'm guessing not)

[@juliedesear7831]

I bought this book and am giving it to all my friends for Christmas ❤ My husband and I are grandparents to six grandchildren and we are reading it together! Thank you for telling us all about this beautiful book and we will be so excited to see the movie!

[@user-iz5en1vn6w]

[@dawnlobaugh4299]

Mr Jenkins I don't know if you read the comments or not but I feel compelled to say this Billy Graham may he rest in peace would be so proud of you and your cast and the multitudes of people whose lives have been changed and brought closer to Jesus and God.

[@gr8lyblzdhighlyfavored862]

Congratulations 🎊 👏🏼 💐 I'm excited for the release. I hope the story remains the same since, I think, I heard you say, "...rewrite..." however, maybe it was just about the guy who wrote it to fit the screenplay. I'm such a book purist. 😊 GOD bless you all.

[@michelleseals1074]

I'm very excited and LOVE to see how God worked and answered your faithful prayer!!!! Congratulations and God bless you both!
