Haven's fifth video posting reveals information about SOZO, the Christian underground movement taking place during what most are calling, The Great Tribulation. Haven begins this installment of his rogue Internet blog by professing his faith in Jesus. Not only has he become a follower of Jesus Christ but August and Isaac have also prayed to be saved . . . delivered . . . "SOZO." Haven struggles with his emotions, expressing gratitude for God's grace. He almost missed the opportunity for deliverance and is frustrated that it took so long to hear the Gospel.

Haven continues his passionate video journal by chronicling the courage and sacrifice of Christians in the SOZO movement. Sophie leads Haven and his viewers to an underground SOZO meeting at an abandoned church. There in the ruins of what was once a thriving house of God, Christians are meeting in secret to worship, fellowship, pray, and offer support to one another. In hiding, the group quietly sings, gives testimonies of God's providence, requests prayer, and challenges each other to stay strong in their witness of the Truth. Most Bibles were destroyed by the government, and possessing a Bible is illegal, so a SOZO leader uses a smuggled Bible to help the others memorize Scripture. It's clear that Christians are striving to stay alive―not because they fear death, but because they feel "called" of God to be witnesses for "such a time as this." Men, women, and children are risking their lives for the sake of furthering their mission.

Sophie wants Haven to see how Christ-followers are dealing with persecution in light of the crumbled economy, one world monetary system, and the fact that anyone who has not received the "Mark" cannot buy or sell.

Sophie continues her midnight tour into the Rambles of Central Park so Haven and his viewers can experience firsthand how the people of SOZO are surviving. Haven is very careful not to disclose the location of this black market; but, there in the cover of darkness, Christians gather to buy, sell, or exchange food, clothing, and other necessities for survival.

While Haven is at the underground market, Sophie tells him SOZO just received an anonymous tip―Bibles are locked away in an old abandoned building in Battery Park. Sophie invites Haven and a few of the underground resisters to go with her to the location to see if they can get in the building and obtain these Bibles. Haven, August, and the rest of the small SOZO group jump at the chance and decide to record the entire mission on video.

Upon arrival at the location in Battery Park, SOZO searches the abandoned building, hoping to find the Bibles. After searching for some time in what appears to be a former communication center, they enter a dark room. The beam of their flashlights cuts through the dust in the room. There in the tomb-like depository are Bibles stacked from floor to ceiling in boxes marked: "The Agency." It's a startling sight. The group is moved by what having Bibles will mean to so many Christians living in the underground who do not have a copy of the Scriptures.

Haven ends his video post by alluding to SOZO's plan to come out from hiding, be more vocal, and courageously preach the Gospel. Strategies for street witnessing and peaceful demonstrations are in the preliminary stages. Believing the time is short, the underground church wants to use every available moment to preach salvation to all who will listen.

Unsure to what extent he will participate in the SOZO protests, Haven vows to continue making a video journal of these events and posting it to keep the world informed about the economic and spiritual Armageddon happening around them.

  • The GPM didn't destroy all the bibles.

  • "The Agency" I think that's David Jeremiah's church
