“I think people will walk away from this movie and see what true love is and true forgiveness is, when we point a finger at someone else, it’s three pointing back at us,” said Clifton Powell.

SINNERS WANTED follows the journey of Leo Shepherd (Wayne), a young vibrant minister from Macon, Georgia, who relocates to Washington, D.C., for an opportunity to pastor Grace Community Church. On his first day, Leo meets a prostitute named Ginger “Gigi” Clementine (Rios). Ironically, Leo is immediately drawn to her as she reminds him of his mother. They begin to grow closer and their feelings become stronger. The church finds out about the budding relationship and immediately voice concerns about the impact of the woman’s past on the church’s image. Despite the congregation’s outcry, Leo continues to pursue Gigi and falls deeply in love, eventually asking for her hand in marriage. Their holy union, however, turns out to be catastrophic and reveals both Leo and Gigi’s past.

“We wanted to let people understand that even though a church hurt you, or a church was bad doesn’t mean that God isn’t Good," remarked Jimmy Jenkins, Co-Writer and Director of SINNERS WANTED. "We have to find the right churches and connect with the right people.”

“When we were creating this film forgiveness and love was the main focus and goal," said Joshua Jenkins, Co-Writer and Director of SINNERS WANTED. "We didn’t just write it that way we filmed it that way! It’s a true love story of God’s unconditional love. It’s Something that the world needs to see!”
