Drama Team

We had an amazing drama team this year. Some of these kids have been involved with the rice distribution for a couple of years now and are getting quite good. It's amazing to see how well their skits hold the attention of the people. They are truly doing great ministry!

There are a few different skits, it depends a bit on the audience which ones they choose. Sometimes we're doing a distribution a a church and many of the people are Christians, other times they whole group is hearing about Jesus for the first time. They work hard to meet people where they are, and minister to them in a way they understand. 

They do a skit of the prodigal son, for reasons I can't begin to understand, always seems to get a lot of laughs. They even let me play a very minor roll. That did not help me understand... ;)

There are a couple of interpretive dances set to Khmer Christian music. The crowd always loves these. 

My favorite is probably the one about temptation. Jesus is seen showing the main character about God and heaven, but the world keeps tearing her down. She is tempted with money, alcohol, even suicide, some times she falls down, but the entire time Jesus is there, trying to pull her back to him. At the end when he is crucified by the mob, he then protects her from the sins that are fighting to pull her down. 

Getting to know these kids, many of whom are orphans from the David Center, was one of the high points of this trip! They are so friendly and warm. Each and everyone has a spirit of service that is impossible to miss. 

The drama team with pastor Setan. Our driver, Mao, is the crazy one in back.

Temptation is waiting in the wings:
