THE POWER OF STEADFAST LOVE
Still So Alive
In March 2021, the documentary film “Still So Alive” was released to tell the story of Tom and Leah Blake and their Messianic community experiencing the goodness of GOD in the midst of extreme loss and grief. This was the beginning of the Grafted Family.
In 2009-2010, Tom and Leah Blake tragically lost their two young sons – nine months apart. As they walked through the pain with their community, their Biblical Messianic Worldview helped them experience the faithfulness of GOD and His steadfast presence.
They put their hope in the return of the Messiah Jesus, and realized hastening that day was possible by helping unify the diverse family of GOD by sharing about Jesus, Jerusalem, and the Jewish people.
Sam and his wife Cassie (graphic designer for Grafted) are featured throughout “Still So Alive” because of their deep friendship with Tom and Leah. The producers of the film and Grafted, Matt and Cristina, are also very close friends, and they are all a part of Kingdom Living Messianic Congregation. Together, they launched Grafted to reach a world that hungers for belonging and truth by teaching about King Jesus and His family.
