Hope for Hurting Hearts, produced by Greg Laurie’s Harvest Ministries, won the Best Film by a Church Organization award at the GloryReelz Christian Film Festival and was just announced as an Official Selection in three categories at the Pan Pacific Film Festival: Best Feature Documentary, Best Cinematography and Best Editing.
“It was our honor to screen and select as a winner at GloryReelz Christian Film Fest, Hope for Hurting Hearts, a film about heartache, faith and God’s love, by Harvest Ministries,” said festival director Sheri Brooks. “We all deal with hurt at some point, but for Christians it can be devastating.

“This film peels back layers of pain and gently merges intimate stories of how four people allowed time and faith, covered in God’s amazing grace, to lead them to a place of healing and victory, encouraging the believer to press on in the midst of trials. For the non-believer it’s an invitation to meet the One who is hope for the hurting heart. Incredible!”
“Tragedy visits us all in varying degrees” said the organizers of the Pan Pacific Film Festival. “Hope for Hurting Hearts provides an intimate window into the lives of modern day, prominent Christians – Jeremy Camp, Greg and Cathe Laurie, and Nick Vujicic – telling the story of a great loss in each of their lives. The filmmakers accurately portray that each person processes grief differently, patiently allowing the raw pain to surface and impact the viewer.
