DUANE & ANTOINETTE MCCOY
Duane married Antoinette Crawford in 1998. In 2002 Duane resigned as a ten-year veteran of the Philadelphia Police department, accepting his calling as a Minister of the Gospel. The same year he began having dreams about the end-times, until 2004. Each week he vividly would share his dreams with the people. It was like watching a movie unfold. In 2007, obeying the Lord, they moved to Arizona, a land they knew nothing of, and new dreams began. Two years later, they hosted the Arizona Gospel Music Convention, seeking talent for their record label, Holy Child Gospel. They released two albums available on iTunes: The Messiah by Badiyah, and Got 2 Make It by Nexworld, written and produced by Antoinette and Duane. Two years after that, they were led by God to create and produce a short film called New World Order, which aired on AZ TV Christmas Day 2011. Six months later, in June 2012 they received a call from the VP of Acquisitions Isaac Hernandez of Olympusat Network, offering a two-year leasing agreement for their short film New World Order. During the call, he expressed how the film left him wanting more. They then informed him they could have a feature film to him by December, and they did: New World Order-The End Has Come. The movie premiered on December 16 at selected AMC Theaters. The next day they awakened to an email offering them a worldwide distribution deal from Bridgestone Multimedia Group (BMG), with a release date of May 2013. After the 2013 release of New World Order, the McCoys traveled every year across the country pitching the New World Order Saga to many without success. After years of rejections, the family sat down to discuss the making of their next film, for they knew God was calling them to put his message of the book of Revelation on the silver screen. As a family they agreed they would do it themselves, with the help of God, and began pre-production in 2016. Principal photography started in July 2017. Being self-financed by them and their children, they were only able to film two days every five to six months. In 2020 COVID hit, and nervous about losing the footage they had, they prayed on what to do. God moved them to reach out and ask the crew and actors to agree to 33 days of filming to get this movie completed. Praise God, they said yes! It was a very challenging time. They had no money, locations, needed more actors, crew, caterer, wardrobe, makeup artist, and the list goes on. They have so much faith in the word of the Lord and the film. They want people to see its wonderful cast, hear its beautiful words, and enjoy its rocking soundtrack. Mostly they want to wrap this film and get Christ’s message out there to not only this country, but all over the world. The world needs it now more than ever!

GREG & WALISA SMITH
Our story began when I was in college. I met Greg at a young adult Bible study. He handed me an Oreo cookie and smiled and I smiled back at him. He asked me if I gave piano lessons. I told him yes and I agreed to come by his house at the end of the week for his lesson. We ended up recording in his studio and hitting it off. I was not looking for a relationship at the time but we had so much in common. Our first unofficial date was at the bowling alley. We talked on the phone hours nightly and some dates included reading the Bible in the park or recording and writing songs. After six months of dating, we got married in 1990. Greg and I knew that God put us together for ministry and music.
Greg and I have been married for 32 years. Working in the ministry automatically puts you on the frontlines. During these years of being fruitful in ministry we have experienced seasons of test and trials in almost every area from sickness to having reasons to want to throw in the towel. We have not lived perfect lives but by the grace of God, we are two imperfect people who have experienced the forgiving, healing, restorative power of God that has allowed us to not quit because God doesn’t quit on us.
