Senior Katelyn Scotts song, Safe in Your Arms, was selected by the films producers as the winner of a contest for Libertys songwriting specialization students. Senior Stephanie Bettcher, who starred as the films title character, Faith Garrett, will be singing the song.

Finding Faith is being filmed in Central Virginia, with Lynchburg as its hub. It aims to educate families on the importance of Internet safety through a powerful drama based on the real-life story of a girl who was abducted after falling prey to a skillful online predator. It is inspired by the experiences of Bedford County Sheriff Mike Brown, who headed one of the nations first Internet Crimes Against Children task forces.

The film is presented by the Safe Surfin Foundation, and stars Erik Estrada, a Hollywood legend and activist best known for his role on the 1970s and 80s television series CHiPS.

Liberty and Thomas Road Baptist Church have been at the heart of this project since the beginning, offering support and personnel for every stage of production.

Dean Haskins, Finding Faith co-executive producer, music director, and composer, said the production team decided to hold the contest because of the deep talent pool Libertys worship center had within its songwriting specialization.

Songs that are used in conjunction with the movie need to fit the feel, the message of either of the entire movie or a specific scene, Haskins said. When we zeroed in on Katelyn Scotts song, Safe in Your Arms, we all realized right away, this message, this song, truly fits the heart of this movie.

Scott said she began writing the song to encourage a friend who was going through a difficult time before she knew about the contest. As the song developed, she heard about the opportunity and instantly knew it would work for the part.

I just took that song and kept going with it, and prayed through it, she said.
