Jim Peterson invites several people home for dinner after a church service. One of them is a college football player, the other is a man named David. David asks Jim if he can invite a grubby mechanic named Kevin to come with him, and Jim reluctantly agrees. What follows is a consistent pattern of Jim ignoring Kevin, in favor of the more wealthy, attractive, and talented people around him. What Jim doesn't know that David is an angel, sent by God. By various means, David shows Jim how to be a friend to those around him who need it most, regardless of their wealth, talent, or perceived social position.
Chris is bored with most of the formal settings in his life, including his Sunday School class as it studies what Heaven will be like, Chris comments, "What's going to be so special about Heaven? It sounds boring to me!" His comment results in a special dream where he learns that in Christ, he is truly special and that Heaven is so much more than he ever imagined. Film maker Kevin Cushing wrote and directed this film after his own tragically funny teaching experience with a group of Junior High students. A delightful original music score by David Maddux, winner of the best musical score award for a 1982 film release, complements the funny but meaningful story. Heavensent employs a unique combination of black and white and color film techniques. Chris' everyday world is portrayed in black and white and Heaven is seen in vivid full color.
