Infinite Energy Center
6400 Sugarloaf Parkway, Duluth, GA 30097
Presented by Jenesis Peaks Entertainment. Ten women and men are faced with the biggest battle of their lives when they find themselves lost and stranded on an island after a plane crash. As days pass by, with no rescue in sight, they began to deal with feelings of destitution and loneliness. Tension flares when the truth emerges, but the truth is what sets them free! This production is spiritual, humorous, emotional and entertaining, bringing healing and deliverance, and showing all that obedience is better than sacrifice.
