There are many riveting real-life stories in God's word, giving us examples from which to learn. And in order to illustrate a principle, and get people thinking, Jesus told parables (allegories), drawing from everyday examples that people could relate to (like food, farming, work, finances, relationships, crime…)
.
Just so, making something visual can have a very powerful impact. Therefore, theater and the media can be used to teach and illustrate biblical messages, get someone’s attention, pique curiosity and inspire change. Skits and dramas can be used to enhance sermons, Bible studies, Sunday School sessions, homeschool lessons or be used in outreach efforts. You can also use a skit to promote ministries or highlight special holidays, celebrations and events.

My B.A.in Radio, T.V. & Film comes from Messiah College (Grantham, PA), via Temple University. I have worked in these fields over the years, and became a member of the Writer's Guild of Canada. I continue to write freelance, and serve in our church's drama ministry.
.
As early as the age of seven, I have been very involved in the arts, school bands, choirs, theatrical performances... What more can I say? I love to create and express ideas through drama, but most importantly, I love to serve the Lord, my God using the gifts that He has given me.
.
Besides wanting to serve the struggling church, I do feel that it is not right for people to be paying for something that they cannot fully see, and so I post my skits, dramas and program ideas to be used with integrity.
