Busy Week - Drama outreach this FRIDAY!

Wow! It's been a busy busy week and it feels GOOD! :) I've been having a hard time with getting enough rest to sustain my pregnant body so much of the past 2 weeks has been spent in bed! But this week has been absolutly wonderful! We started working on a drama that I wrote that goes to the song "Bring Me to Life" by Evanesence. They are not a Christian band but this song was written by a Christian and it is an extremely moving song.

Clinton - one of the leaders of our team - asked me to prepare a drama for the team to perform at markets and in villages. I started praying for God to give me inspiration, confidence and wisdom in writting this drama. I sat down and hashed out "Bring Me to Life" in about an hour! The Thai people are drawn to music such as LimpBiscuit (I don't even know how the band spells their name), Linkin Park and very hard music like these. I knew that "Bring Me to Life" would be the perfect song to draw attention and bring a crowd to see the gospel presented through drama.

We began practicing last Monday and we are so blessed because on our team we have some excellent actors and best of all they are dedicated! Every practice is wonderful and the drama becomes better each time. We will be performing this drama TOMORROW (Saturday) at the BuddThai Market. This market is huge and there will be hundreds of people there. Clinton has a PA System that was donated to him for use to spread the gospel and we will set it up tomorrow and begin the night with worship.

We do not have permission to do this in the market because it is a public market and there is no one to seek permission from but it is possible that we could be told that must leave. We may only have a very small area to work with...we will begin with Tanah leading worship on guitar with a few helpers (this is mainly to draw attention - farangs "foreigners" singing in Thai is a HUGE attention getter). Thai people will stand there and watch for long periods of time and stare at the "farangs" singing about their God. While we sing and worship our God other team members will be scattered throughout the perimeter praying...and some will be passing out tracks.After a while we will then perform "Bring Me to Life" and afterward Clinton will bring the truth of God's word and we will be available to speak to all who wish to know more. Hopefully we will be able to do this a couple times throughout the night so that many people will have an opportunity to see the drama.

I'm really excited about tomorrow and if you read this before then - please keep us in your prayers! We are praying that many will be touched by this drama and the message that follows. I'm going to go for now and get some sleep so I can be ready tomorrow. Thank you for reading and thank you for those who leave comments - it feels so good knowing someone out there is reading :) I'll write again soon and let you know how everything goes!Steph
