Last winter, as part of the Christmas parties in the slums, some of the guys on the team put together a short drama that was a huge hit with the kids and the adults who were there. Since then, I have been wanting to have them put something together to present in church. I really believe in encouraging our people to use their gifts for the Kingdom, especially our younger folks, who were are training up as leaders for the next generation.
Anyway, today was the big day. Son, Ting, Mewi, John, and Sanit followed up my sermon with a skit that personalized the message. In it, Son, Ting, and Mewi were in an apartment having a great time of Christian fellowship and Bible study while in the apartment next door, Sanit was a non-Christian, lost in her own loneliness and despair.
The whole drama was everything I had hoped it would be, moving Pastor Winit to tears as we brought the service to a close. I was SO very proud of these guys for the wonderful job they did! Afterward, I was overwhelmed with the comments from people there about how moving the whole service had been.
Speaking about Aram laying siege to Samaria and the people starving to death. It doesn't start out as a 'feel good,' message, but the end is all about hope.
My friend Ting. I asked him to share his story today and he was amazing. He seemed totally comfortable up there and he spoke plainly about a past of alcohol abuse and meth addiction, and about a life totally transformed. Young people all over Thailand need to hear this young man's message of hope and redemption. I keep saying it over and over, but I am so proud of him and ALL of them.
Sontaya as director and narrator of the drama.
Sanit pours her heart out, while next door, her Christian neighbors go right about their lives, oblivious to her pain.
Sanit was just wonderful.
