Signs & Wonders
But watch out! Be careful never to forget what you yourself have seen. Do not let these memories escape from your mind as long as you live! And be sure to pass them on to your children and grandchildren.
D E U T E R O N O M Y 4 : 9
Too many stories have been forgotten.
Too many stories have gone untold.
God prompted Moses knowing in full that a couple of books forward we would see generation after generation forget who they are and what God had done in and through the people of Israel, God’s chosen people. King after king, we saw Israel and Judah drift further and further from their true identity. Until we get to Josiah. He discovers a scroll. Long forgotten instruction from the Lord. In 2 Kings 23:25, it reads
Never before had there been a king like Josiah, who turned to the Lord with all his heart and soul and strength, obeying all the laws of Moses. And there has never been a king like him since.
This is the heart of what we are looking to accomplish. We want to put on display the long-forgotten stories of heroes of the faith. It is the hope that in bringing to the light the work that the Lord has done in the earth, we will reignite a flame in the body of Christ. We will testify of the Lord’s goodness and faithfulness to every generation.
What is the project?
Signs and Wonders is a feature-length documentary that is currently under development by the Mendos. However, the project seems to have much more to it than a singular film outlet. It is our desire to expand the project to an ongoing focus on testifying of the Lord’s faithfulness and providing believers with a library of content to build their faith and equip them with their forgotten heritage.
We believe this is a multi-faceted initiative that has its roots in a series of ongoing docu-style content. But we do not want to limit where this goes. From podcasts to feature-length documentaries, it is our greatest desire to pass along the rich legacy of our faith to our children and children’s children.
We know we can’t do this on our own. In fact, we are sharing stories that are not our own from our lives but from the heritage we share. So we are looking for other voices in our generation that we can partner with and help develop, document and deliver compelling content that encourages believers and draws in the unbeliever.
It is our goal with this project to re-discover the work God has done on the earth and equip all believers with a rich history to lean on and properly document for all future generation the faithfulness of our Lord.

It was February 21, 2021, that morning Katie and I were talking about this project on our way to church and I was saying we need someone to learn from. The potential for this project was obviously greater than anything we could accomplish on our own. It was that Sunday we walked into Mercy Culture and learned who you were and we experienced this message:
During that message as you were talking about Harry Hoosier, George Liesle and so many others my mid was racing. I saw these old photos on screen and I immediately thought I need to film with Will and then reach out to my friend Alexis (Her Work). It wasn’t until this year that I came across a vice promo that executed my exact thought.
