Encounter for Shoppers

In the middle of nowhere, five strangers find themselves stranded in a deserted roadside diner. An arrogant businessman (Steve Sting Borden), a lonely single woman (Jaci Velasquez), a couple on the verge of divorce, and a youthful runaway all come face to face with a diner owner who serves them more than just temporal nourishment. This genial host is a certain Nazarene (Bruce Marchiano) who knows all of their secrets and possesses the answers to all of their problems, if only they would trust him. It is a miraculous Encounter that will leave them all changed.

The Encounter is an inspirational and intriguing faith-filled family drama about 5 people who are brought face to face with Jesus and encouraged to examine the true condition of their lives. Stranded in the middle of nowhere, these five individuals, each with their own unique struggles and circumstances, are forced to confront their inner demons and confront the deeper questions of life.

The arrogant businessman, Steve Sting Borden, is a successful executive who has lost touch with his humanity, driven only by his thirst for power and wealth. The lonely single woman, Jaci Velasquez, is searching for love and acceptance, haunted by her past. The couple on the verge of divorce are grappling with the breakdown of their relationship, their once-passionate love now turned to bitterness and resentment. And the youthful runaway is a lost soul, seeking escape from a life that has become too difficult to bear.

Into this mix comes the diner owner, a Nazarene named Bruce Marchiano, who serves not just food for the body, but nourishment for the soul. With his gentle wisdom and deep understanding, he challenges each of the strangers to confront the truth about themselves and their lives, guiding them towards a path of redemption and transformation.

As the Encounter unfolds, the five individuals are forced to let go of their preconceptions and open themselves up to the possibility of change. They are confronted with the realities of their own brokenness and the realization that true fulfillment can only be found in a deeper relationship with the divine.

"A Riveting, thought-provoking movie," says Tom Saab of CFFA, while Christian Movies Direct calls it a "Straight Forward Must See Movie." The Encounter is a powerful and moving exploration of faith, forgiveness, and the transformative power of love, inviting audiences to embark on a spiritual journey alongside these five strangers as they discover the true meaning of their lives.
