"Father Figures" drama rocked!



Lisa and John did an amazing job last night in their drama titled "Father Figures" written by Sarah Rulli and directed by Dalene. Lisa got to get out of her comfort zone a bit as we asked her to get beyond the sweet role that we usually put her in, and BOY did she rise the the occasion! John did an awesome job of capturing the duality of his characters situation as he longed to make things better but felt powerless to do so. The fact that so many people don't have an earthly example of a "loving father" is a very real barrier to taking steps toward Christ. What a cool way for us as a team to adress the reality then follow it up with an amazing media (written by Michelle Wegner who just joined our writing team! YAY!) that spoke the truth of God's love in a powerful way, such a strong example of the power of story and communication to defy the lies of Satan and replace it with the truth of God's love. Sorry I don't have pics of the drama, but I caught a few snapshots back stage. I especially loved the "awkward dad hug" one! : ) Great job, Lisa, John, Dalene, Sarah, and Michelle. Thanks for working together to inspire people in their walk with Christ. It matters. It has an impact, and it's because of your willingness to say "Here Am I. Send me." We're all lucky to be on the team with you!

"Steep yourself in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met. Don't be afraid of missing out. You're my dearest friends! The Father wants to give you the very kingdom itself."
Luke 12:29-20 (Msg)
