QUESTION: Can you give me some examples of the themes used in your presentations?
ANSWER: Each presentation is Biblically based. Please see the THEMES SECTION for more details.
QUESTION: How do you know that people make decisions for Christ at your presentations?
ANSWER: An appeal is made at the end of each presentation - local clergy and lay people follow-up with decisions made by congregants. We see every presentation as an opportunity for ONE person to make a life-changing decision for God.

QUESTION:QUESTION: Why use drama in evangelism?
ANSWER: A: Jesus dramatized His teachings
As educators, we know that students will recall
up to 60% retained of the information they see.
The recall is up to 70% when they see & hear.

As for the spoken word alone, only 7 to 10 % will be recalled.
Sad news for us preachers.

We know as communicators that actions speak louder than words,
our body language and how we say it will be embedded
in the memory more than what we actually say.

Jesus used lots of parables, word pictures and illustrations.
He also used drama to teach.
He acted out His disciples values by acting like them when He called
the Canaanite woman a dog. They later connected the ethnicity & discipleship lesson, they should cease to think of non-Jews as dogs. See Matt 15.

On the road to Emmaus, He encouraged two of His
followers on a 7 mile walk from Jerusalem to Emmaus.
Even though they thought He was dead, He did not reveal Himself
right away. In order to teach them to rely on Scripture to deal with shame,
emotional duress, spiritual blindness, lost faith or, what to do when
your spiritual leader disappoints you,
He acted the part of traveling teacher / visitor
unfamiliar with the crucifixion events of the weekend.

See Luke 24:
18 The one named Cleopas answered Him, "Are You the only visitor in Jerusalem who doesn't know the things that happened there in these days?"
19 "What things?" He asked them.

What things? What do you mean what things? Didn't He know what things?
Jesus needed help knowing what things had happened in Jerusalem
over the few past days?

Of course not, but HE acted like He did.
the rest of the chapter unfolds why.

His motives & the context of the situation
were in the right place. For me, Pastor Carmona, this
is the strongest evidence for using
drama to TEACH BIBLE PRINCIPLES and TEACH
actual Bible stories as accurately as possible.


Why use drama?
Because Jesus used DRAMA.

Why act in order to teach?
Because Jesus acted in order to teach.

ANSWER:ANSWER B: When it comes to gospel work in the last days, God's way of reaching souls may surprise us.
"Let me tell you that the Lord will work in this last work in a manner very much out of the common order of things, and in a way that will be contrary to human planning. There will be those among us who will always want to control the work of God, to dictate even what movements shall be made when the work goes forward under the direction of the angel who joins the third angel in the message to be given to the world. God will use ways and means by which it will be seen that He is taking the reins in His own hands. Do not imagine that it will be possible to lay out plans for the future. Let God be acknowledged as standing at the helm at all times and under every circumstance. He will work by means that will be suitable, and will maintain, increase and build up his own people." ~ Last Day Events, pp. 203 - 204
Isaiah 55: 8 & 9
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
