LOVE OF CHRIST REVEALED
Hearts and Hands Drama Ministry has truly blessed and reached many through their dramatic presentations of the good news of Jesus Christ. I have had the pleasure to witness three productions; one presented at Bethesda SDA Church.
Their creative portraits help many to identify and address current concerns and issues. Through their performances, the Love of Christ is revealed and individuals of all ages are inspired to experience a meaningful relationship with the Lord, Jesus Christ.
Those who have encountered this ministry can truly say that Hearts and Hands seek to glorify God and uplift mankind through its unique and exceptional endowment of performance. Through Hearts & Hands one witnesses not only the dedication of the cast members to service but their commitment to Jesus Christ.
I pray that God will continue to bless this ministry as they remain committed to the transformation of souls and the preparation for Christ's imminent return.

A Timely Ministry
The ministry of the drama team at the Bethany Church was state of the art. Outstanding would be an understatement. The presentation was Biblically sound and in complete harmony with the Spirit of Divine Inspiration (The Great Controversy). I recommend this timely ministry to all who are seriously mindful of the urgency of Salvation and the Second Coming of Christ.

CALLING ON GOD'S NAME
First of all, it was wonderful that H&H behaved like a family. You came to Bethel at least 25 strong (probably more), and you looked unified. You were very patient and cooperative… I really appreciated that - the calm, Christ-like spirit. And I recall sticking my head in as your group rehearsed to find you worshipping together. I am always drawn when I hear people calling on God's name in song ... THAT was a blessing for me.
So I guess to sum up how H&H ministered to me is how well you related to each other, as well as my church. There was quite a bit of feedback ... Actual comments that I remember were like, "That was such a surreal play... I felt like I was there at the crucifixion...", "That drama group was really good! When are they coming back?", and "I loved how everything just flowed, not missing a beat. It was a really creative presentation."

THEMES OF GOD'S LOVE
We had the opportunity to see your play, "STAND ANEW" in Harlem about two years ago. The play left such an impression on my family and I that we still often talk about it. The themes of God's absolute power and love, the cunningness of the Devil and the benefits of faith were very present in the play's message. It was ... a good learning experience for those who didn't have a clue about God's unconditional love. Thank God for Hearts and Hands Drama Ministry.

INSPIRATIONAL
The Hearts and Hands Drama Ministry banquet, "The Cost of Loving You" was a wonderful, soul-filling, and spiritually uplifting program that has impacted the hearts and minds of all those who were in attendance. From praise and worship, to the sign ministry, even to the special music presented by Advent Youth Ministries, the program was truly inspirational.
The play, "The Cost of Loving You" was a perfect reminder that Jesus Christ came and died for each and every one of our sins, and the play depicted that His decision was a struggle, but praise God, He decided that it was a fight worth fighting. Hearts and Hands is a wonderful ministry, and I was truly blessed, and I look forward to more Hearts and Hands Drama Ministry programs in the future.

Example of what He can do
God bless you and your ministry. Never give up the life for Christ. You and many others are examples of what He can do, if we just let Him use us. I love you and keep on that straight and narrow path. As Paul said, "This I do know that I keep on reaching forward for Jesus.” Never give up. We will soon see Him.

Prayers are With You
I just want to say that it was truly a blessing to witness your drama team. I was touched, inspired and felt the urge to proclaim and minister the Name of Christ even more. I would also like to say that my prayers are with you all.
