Holly continues her interviews with 2 more stars of the series "HOUSE OF DAVID", Ali Suliman who plays King Solomon and Ayelet Surer who plays queen Ahinoam. Isaac chats with Evangelist and long time friend, Mario Murillo about his documentary "I AM LIVING PROOF". Ali Suliman was born in 1977, in Nazareth, Israel. His interest in the dramatic arts led him to the prestigious " Acting School" in Tel-Aviv, where he graduated in the year 2000. At the end of his studies, he joined the "Commedia Dell'Arte", Masks Theater group in London. Ali decided to broaden his horizons within the boundaries of drama, by taking a position at the RAHAT community center, as an acting teacher. After his time at Negev, Ali went on to star in such award-winning films as "Paradise Now" (Best Foreign film winner Golden Globes, and Best Foreign film nominee - Academy Awards), and "The Syrian Bride". He also starred opposite Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Garner in the critically acclaimed action thriller "The Kingdom". Ayelet Zurer is an Israeli TV and film actress. She began her career on the Israeli teen drama, Inyan Shel Zman and has starred in numerous Israeli tv and film roles. She received awards for Best Actress at the Israeli Academy Awards in 2003 and Best Actress by the Israeli Academy of Television in 2006 and 2013. Mario Murillo rose from poverty in the Mission District of San Francisco. After being revolutionized by Christ, he felt a call to the University of California at Berkeley. Sharing his faith on this riot-torn campus seemed beyond impossible. His attempts to communicate were repeatedly rejected. which led him to pray a prayer that would define the rest of his life. “If you called me to this campus, you must help me.” The help arrived in stages. It began with words—a way of saying things that were different than audiences were accustomed to—that seemed to tumble out of his mouth. A small group of students quickly grew to a regular crowd of hundreds. Then something else happened: students began to report healings. They would testify, that in the Name of Jesus, their sickness had vanished. Mario quickly understood that any report of healing should be verified by doctors. He also steadfastly maintained that the Gospel must remain his central theme. Miracles must be regarded as byproducts of preaching the Word of God. Now thousands began to attend his rallies. His international ministry was launched after a 4-day conference in San Jose California extended for 6 months with a total attendance of nearly 250,000 people. Since then Mario’s voice has been heard by millions around the world, bringing a message that zeroes in on the hurts of society. He presents Christ clearly, intelligently and openly declares the power of Jesus to totally transform a life. His simple declaration: Come and see. Christ has the power to end addiction, racism, violence and disease.
