TESTIMONIALS
PLAY: SATAN HAS LEFT THE BUILDING
"This morning, Sabrea came into my bedroom and she was very upset because she had a very BAD dream. She said she couldn’t get the thought of the dream out of her mind because someone died in the dream, Instantly we prayed! I thank God that I was able to see the play last night because I used the play as an example of how satan wants to destroy our minds. Sabrea and I talked about various scenes in the play where satan was trying to put negative thoughts in the minds of people and how God won! Thank you for taking the word of God and visually showing my child that she can trust the Lord and honor the Lord with her gifts, talents, and abilities. Many blessings! Thank you!"

"One of my co-workers came in to work after seeing this play and said that the play was so awesome! He brought his camera to record it so his wife could see since she couldn’t make it. He was so engrossed in the play that he forgot he had the camera on his lap. He said he cried during the entire show!"

"Praise God for all of you who allowed my prayer to be answered “to be in a gospel play the told how great our God is.” Thank you Sister Loretta and I know God is going to use you to write more wonderful plays. To the talented cast I say keep on working for God because you do it well. When you have children questioning you about the play you know God has touched some hearts - praise God. Sister Wendy Shelton I just want to say you set it off with that beautiful worship which God inhabits, so it was on after that. LOL! God bless and I hope to work with all of you again."
