There are many characteristics we have learned to admire when it comes to Billy Stanley.  He is extremely loyal to those who are family oriented and especially those who share his belief in Jesus.  The reason is simple, Billy knows God and as a direct result of the gospel, which lived in his famous step brother, Elvis Presley, his commitment to doing the right thing for the right reasons has always been so important.  God became more real to him after he literally died a few years ago and was revived. 

WHAT MAKES BILLY STANLEY DIFFERENT

There are many qualities which our team has come to acknowledge and we wanted to take a moment and share those for all the Elvis fans and the people who have followed this story from the beginning. 

First, Billy has always honored his family, his step family and has consistently loved the people who have been integral to his growing up years.  Recently, we saw on Facebook where Billy was honoring one of the family members of Elvis. He takes the higher ground every time we hear him share. He is the first one to share his own shortcomings and somebody who is as authentic as people come.

Secondly, Billy is also a growing person of faith.  His faith is not stagnant, but becoming more and more alive every day.  His wife Liz and their marriage has proven to be a changing and transforming love connecting Billy to the Hope Community Church. Liz Stanley is a woman of God and she is making an eternal impact on everything their family is doing.

THE PRAYERS OF LIZ STANLEY

A beautiful part of how Liz connected to the film team is because of her prayers. She believed after Rick Stanley passed away, Billy should contact Rick's lifelong friend, Dr. Kevin McAfee.  Clearly, there are no accidents, or serendipity when it comes to the power of prayer and Liz knows this part better than anyone. 

Prayer has been the foundation for everything Billy wanted to do from the beginning; in helping share the story of Elvis Presley and how his brothers were welcomed into the famous family.  Our team can tell you he has never been motivated to capitalize on economic benefits, but to truly tell the story as he remembered what happened focusing on the gospel.

THE BIBLE

Elvis Presley read the Bible more than any other book.  Recently, his Bible was taken to Washington DC and is in the Museum of the Bible.  Franklin Graham shared how Elvis read the Bible, but miraculously, the Stanley brothers were in charge of carrying his Bible.  They had personal conversations of faith while on tour when Elvis was on the road.

NO DOUBT NO FEAR, the biography of Billy Stanley is being put together to share with the publishing world.  Jennifer Willingham, of the EPIC AGENCY will be sharing the opportunity soon.  This is going to be an exciting window into the specifics of Elvis's life.  Only three boys knew of how Elvis Presley really lived as a brother, and this was Billy, Rick and David Stanley.  

A POWERFUL STORY OF TRUTH

From 1960 to 1977 when Elvis Presley passed away, the events only known to the Stanley boys have been recorded and Billy is going to share the entire story both in the documentary, his book and the feature film.  This has been an amazing journey and the voices who know the real story are coming together in a historic fashion.

One of the other true elements of our amazing story is the home where Billy and his brothers grew up, GRACELAND.  Even during the pandemic with the historic home closed to the public, Billy and Liz remember when the first family of rock and roll lived.  Recently Billy said, "It is nice to see the home functioning without thousands of people, but I know Elvis would have loved to have shared his home with the world."

This is the heart of Billy and why his powerful story of truth continues.  Our team is honored to be working with Billy and Liz Stanley, the Stanley family and begin sharing elements of faith which have long been forgotten. 

KEEP WATCHING FOR UPDATES

We look forward to keeping you up to date every month to share even more of the process in placing Billy's new book, NO DOUBT NO FEAR, completing the documentary and working on the feature screenplay.  Please be praying for the team and we will keep you updated as we move along as a team.

Dreaming the Impossible Dream,
​
Your Film Team



   

One of the most exciting ways we can help share a story is found in building a primary work and Billy Stanley's new book promises even more exciting chapters to a life lived in the first family of Rock and Roll.

With billions of people on the planet, in 1960 there were only three little boys who would be affectionately called, "Brother" and they were Billy and his two brothers. These young boys would grow up feeling a "father's love" in the person of Elvis Presley toward them.

It has been my honor to be walking on this journey together with Billy.  We wanted to take a moment and share all of the accomplishments in this first year of putting this exciting film franchise into the market.  These highlights represent just a few major milestones in pouring the foundation for a house to last for decades to come.

Have a Hound Dog Week,

What an amazing month at Graceland.  We had countless new stories, old stories and even more as we explored Graceland with both Billy and David Stanley together.  I am especially excited that we had such an entourage at Graceland celebrating the birthday of the King of Rock and Roll and Billy Stanley.

David was so gracious to fly in from Florida and begin to share his world with us during the trip to Graceland and also in the home of Billy and Liz Stanley.  What a blessing he is to open up to joining this crusade in putting a lot of reality to the greatest entertainer who ever lived.

Prior to going to Graceland, we met with Billy Stallings, the Spa Guy to talk about authenticity, truth and hearing more wonderful stories of those Billy has had the good fortune to meet with regarding what happened behind the doors of Graceland.

The documentary is already in process and we are interviewing the Stanley boys to get "their world view" of the faith of Elvis Presley. What a beautiful way to focus on the most important slice of his life, that is often overlooked and missed.

Jennifer Willingham and Jag Gholson thank you for joining our film team as we traveled to Memphis, Tennessee.  You all made the trip even more wonderful and Liz Stanley, your hospitality was amazing.  

In talking with Liz this week, she was never told about the fact Rick Stanley and I were so close since 1980. Rick was one of the finest and most educated evangelists from Southwestern Seminary who graduated after he surrendered his entire life to the ministry.  His famous book, Touch of Two Kings and the numerous times he appeared on Larry King Live and network television was legendary.  Rick passed away one year ago last month.

This coming month, we will be meeting with film studios, talking with financiers and opening up our entire film slate where documentaries and feature films will be created.  Oceania is excited to see a vision for Billy and David Stanley long term.  

Continue to pray for our team out on the West Coast and we will keep everyone updated in real time.  

God bless you all,

Kevin McAfee

He is flying in from Florida this week to have this special time celebrating with Billy!  On Saturday, we will be at the Guest House at Graceland for lunch with the Stanley brothers and then, we will take another historic walk through site for the estate Elvis called home for so many years with his family.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILLY!

No Doubt, No Fear,

2020 is the year we will be completing the documentary film about the best selling author, Billy Stanley.  Billy's story is powerful, moving and one of the most emotionally charged storied around the life of Elvis Presley. The highlights of this documentary include powerful stories from Billy and David Stanley. We will have exciting film clips from Rick during his ministry and so much more. Our audiences will be in for a real treat with some of the finest musicians in the world as a bonus. 

What happened to Billy Stanley a few years ago was transforming. If you spend any time with him, his supernatural experience of when he suddenly died was amazing.  Billy will share of his walk into the Halls of Heaven and you will not want to miss this story.

After Rick passed away in January, one year ago from the week of Elvis Presley's birthday, my life changed.  Rick and I had become friends three years after Elvis died.  He had grown into one of my closest friends and while I could not attend and participate in speaking at my brother's funeral, I was with their family in spirit.

The Stanley brothers have always been admired by our family. Their loyalty, their kindness and faith has inspired thousands across America and around the world. With Elvis being the most popular entertainer of all time, these men were behind the scenes and so very supportive of a man who treated them like blood.

Elvis didn't see any difference in using the term "step brother" and he believed once you are family, you remain family when it comes to "children". What a beautiful way to live.  

We have great news in hearing from David Stanley during December and he believes Billy's story was an area he would want to get behind.  Our team is honored to have Billy's youngest brother join us in this endeavor.  

What is the most important part of this film, is knowing God is at the center of the entire documentary.  Billy made it perfectly clear to me, "Kevin, we want to do this for God and for His glory. I don't want to focus on the negativity because this is what Elvis taught all us boys. What a great heritage we were blessed to share and this film is going to give all the glory to God."

Very few people in the entertainment industry would say something like this. I have been so moved by Kenya West and his new focus on Jesus. When you meet Billy and David Stanley, you will find a group of very strong men whose personal stories are so powerful and moving.

Please pray for the documentary, the writing of the screenplay and the financing partners as we begin to move our film slate to the forefront in 2020. The film partner is Oceania Entertainment and with our new partner Jennifer Willingham and MW Holdings, we are thrilled to be in the film production with the Stanley family.

Taking Care Of Business,

Dr. Kevin McAfee

This month, the film team will be heading to Los Angeles and meeting with film studios and professionals about our new film.  Our primary purpose will be in finding the right financier families who love Elvis Presley, see the vision of what we are doing for family based entertainment and come on board.

Leading our prayer effort is Billy Stanley, the oldest step-brother of the three Elvis would bring into his home in 1960.  Billy and Liz met with the GRP film team and have been helping put materials together for this journey.  Lynn McAfee has been developing a comprehensive business plan and we are now heading to market.

What is amazing about this story, is that Billy Stanley has a unique perspective in that he grew up from 7 years of age when he moved into Graceland until the day Elvis died being treated as a "real brother" by the King of Rock and Roll.  When Rick Stanley, the middle brother passed away in January of 2019, Billy and I connected and we have been working together to put this film into reality.

We honor what the Elvis Presley Estate is doing to continue to improve Graceland and provide an amazing experience for Elvis fans.  However, what Billy has in his own unique story is a "world unto itself".  You see, Billy saw the real Elvis and Graceland was his home too. 

Part of the beautiful side of Elvis, was his true commitment to family and to his faith.  No other film will address this issue more, than ours.  If you would like to be on our prayer team, please contact info@goldenrulehq.com and we will be sure and place you in our prayer team.  We are looking for 31 prayer warriors who believe in the power of prayer and loved Elvis.  Now, more than ever, we are building an army, and this begins with prayer.

Thank you for believing in us, for believing in the legacy of Elvis and for being willing to honor his faith commitment and family loyalty to the world.  He was not just a rock and roll icon, but his gentle side of loving those who have gone through the pain of loss, the tragedy of divorce and the hope for those who needed hope, was paramount. 

Thank you for making this a priority and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all of us at GRP FILMS.

We love you Billy Stanley and the entire Stanley family.  We love you Presley family and the entire Presley team with Christmas Blessings.

Blessings,

​Kevin McAfee

In the 17 years I spent with Elvis, he often talked about his Army days.    Here's what he had to say about those days.   Elvis served his country with pride, he wanted to show the world, he was just a normal guy.   He could have asked for special treatment, but he didn't, that wasn't the type of person he was.  

During his stint in the Army, Elvis was treated like everyone else.  When, he arrived in Germany, he rented a house and brought his family over.  Which any soldier could do, if they had the money.  Most of the stories Elvis told me, were of the patrols he had to do. It was his duty to sit on a hill, in his jeep, and watch a Russian soldier in his vehicle.  Elvis said, every time he had to report for duty, he would wave to the Russian soldier.  The Russian soldier never waved back.  

One time, Elvis was sitting in his jeep, it was very cold.  He tried to walk around, but that didn't warm him up.  Then he had an idea, he took his poncho out, he place it over himself and the jeep, then started the jeep.  It didn't take long, before he warmed up.  He was enjoying the warmth.  The next thing he remembers, he was being shaken.  A soldier was standing over him, saying.  Pvt. Presley wake up!  Wake up soldier!  Elvis came to, he got up off the ground. The soldier asked him, what happened Pvt. Presley?  Elvis told him what he had done.  The soldier said, it's a good thing I came to check on you Private.  You passed out from carbon monoxide poisoning.  It's a miracle you're still alive, Pvt. Presley.

When I got much older sometimes our conversations would be about why he was drafted. I asked, why did they draft you, Elvis?  The Army was pretty much voluntary back then.  He said, I guess the government thought I was a threat to the youth of our nation.  They thought if they put me away for a few years, everyone would forget about me.  I laughed when he told me this.  He looked at me strangely, then asked.  What's so funny about this, Billy.  I said, their plan didn't work, did it.  Then he smiled back, and said.  I guess not.  It did concern him though.  When he came back home, after his stint in the Army, he wasn't sure what his career was going to be like, or if he even had one.  That's why the movie contracts were signed, it guaranteed him, a milliom dollars a movie, 3 movies a year, for the next 7 years. 

In closing, Elvis was happy to serve his country.  He was a good soldier, all of the guys in his unit and his commanding officers liked him. They even joked with him and said, if you can't make out there, you have a career waiting for you, here in the Army, Elvis.   

One of the most wonderful experiences in life is talking to someone who "really knows" what Elvis was like.  Think about this for a moment, when Billy was seven in 1960 and moved into Graceland, he had no agenda, no impure motive and only had missed "family".

When Vernon and Dee picked up her three little boys, they were immediately wrapped up into the arms of the Elvis.  When Elvis asked, "What do we have here daddy?"  Vernon said, "These are our three boys!"  From that moment on, the boys were always treated as family.  Elvis literally never stopped his love or his dedication toward those three boys.

Billy is one of the kindest men I have ever known. Do you know why he loves Elvis fans so much?  Elvis loved his fans.  He said, he would always follow the leadership of his famous brother. This is one of the hallmarks of true family too.

Close to the final days of Elvis Presley's life, Vernon and Dee were going their separate ways.  Elvis called Billy, Rick and David to his bedroom and the four brothers talked about their last seventeen years together.  With a grin on their face and an embrace that ended up in wrestling, they all agreed they would always be there for each other.

What is the most amazing story of the love of these brothers, was their loyalty and their faithfulness to talk about what was most important in their lives. Even though there were many stories always surrounding the fame of Elvis Presley, there was one consistent pattern, the word of God.  Yes, the Bible was the most important book for all of them.

When you would meet any of the Stanley brothers through the years, you would find the kindness, loyal and God fearing characteristics of true men of faith. The gospel was an integral part of the faith of Elvis Presley.

During the past month, Billy and I began talking about the real stories of Elvis and over and over he said, "Kevin I want to make sure the fans of Elvis see the brother and man he was, because everyone has their own opinion, but we knew him as our brother".  

This is the hallmark of the film we are making and we have a new group of people who are showing interest in the future of the movie. If you want to be a part of making history, you will need to communicate to our film team at www.grpfilms.com soon.

Thank you Billy for being the hallmark of truth you have been to all of us.

Love you Brother,

Everyone's read or heard something about this historical meeting, but you probably haven't heard what Elvis did, while he was there.  He told me this little story, when he came home.

When you arrive at the White House, if you are carrying a gun, you have to leave it with the Secret Service.   They will return it to you, when you leave.  Elvis handed them his guns.  He said, I have to use the restroom. Can you show me where it is?  One of the agents said, he'd happy to show Elvis where it was.  They walked down the hallway, and entered the restroom.  Elvis excused himself, then walked to a stall.  As Elvis was un-doing his belt, his derringer fell to the floor.  The agent heard this, then walked into the stall, and picked the gun up.  He asked Elvis, what's this Mr. Presley?  Elvis gave him a smile, then said. I'm sorry, I forgot about that one.  The agent smiled back at Elvis, then politely said. Okay Mr. Presley, I'll hand this to the other agents.  But, I have to ask, is there anymore I need to know about.  Elvis smiled, then said. No sir, that's all of them.
