TESTIMONIES:
"As a former church planter in the Middle East, I have trouble containing myself in my enthusiasm for how this creative arts ministry has helped both the goals of evangelism and church planting. In the concerts I personally witnessed, literally many thousands of people have been exposed to the gospel (often for the first time) and God's love and other truths about him, (These people) would have never heard about him were it not for the outreaches." - Former worker in the Middle East
"During one of our tours, we were doing street performances. We usually started with music, dances and other things to attract a crowd, and ended with a final drama. Then we invited people to stay behind to talk to us. The drama we used illustrated God's creation and the salvation brought by Jesus. After the show I could easily start conversations with \'Did you like our last drama?\' or \'Do you know what our last drama meant?\' And then was able to share the whole gospel message.We never know what part of a performance encourages people to open their hearts for the Holy Spirit to work: was it the music, the dance, the drama, the personal testimony after the shows? But during that tour, two people came to the Lord. It was a delight to work with a team of people, to share about our Lord Jesus Christ, and to see lives changed when God touches their hearts." - A performer
