Ministry Update

Hey ya’ll,
Just wanted you to know what is going on. We just finished auditions for “The Merriest Christmas” (Victorian Christmas Musical). We are going to have a great cast this year. This will be the last year we will do this production for a while. I have written a new production for next year called “The Candy Maker’s Dream.”
We will be having our auditions for Mortality Room (A Halloween Alternative). This year brings a new production to the stage. I wrote it while I was on the two week mission trip to New York. It’s called “House of Martyrs”. It is a contemporary story with flashbacks into the lives of past martyrs of the faith (based on Fox’s Book of Martyrs). The production is rated PG-13. It should be closer to NC-17 because of the graphic scenes.
The last couple of years, God burdened my heart about writing and directing this project. It has finally come to fruition. When reading the Book of Martyrs I was amazed at the boldness and bravery of our Christian forefathers.
No matter how I tried to dance around the atrocities, there was no way to avoid the gruesome details that needed to be depicted in this drama. While the production is very graphic in nature with its true to life situations, it promises to inspire every believer. As Christians, we all face persecutions and trials. Satan is alive and well and is trying everything to destroy Christianity. Our society is becoming more vulnerable as believers buckle under persecution. I would like to see this production encourage boldness for Christians to stand up for who and what they believe in. Try your best to get reservations to see these productions at LampLight Theatre.

I will be leaving this weekend with DecembeRadio. We are headed to Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This will be our first time ministering together in a couple of years. We are all anticipating God to do some awesome things.
Ridge (my ward) will be going on the trip as a roadie. Between Eric Miker and Ridge, I don’t think we will have one quiet moment. I’m sure we will have fun.
The bus has been a blessing this summer. It has provided a place to work and rest. Thanks to all of you who helped get the bus up to par for the tour.
Pray for our bus driver, Raji. He is an excellent driver and takes good care of the bus. He will be driving 13 hrs. up and 13 hrs. back.
I’ll let you know how the weekend went. Check back on the blog next week and I’ll fill you in. Keep praying for us as we seek a new road manager and ministry team members. God is up to something. He is getting ready to show off in a big way.
