"Traveling Light"
The Gospel

of Mark in contemporary life
Written by Larry Enscoe

This presentation can be any length - up to an hour and ten minutes maximum.
Mark's gospel springs into our world as the characters from his story take on modern form and tell of Jesus' miracles, teaching and victory over sin and death.

Peter appears as a longshoreman from Brooklyn - Levi is a high-strung tax man with the IRS - Thomas is a high school student and Herod becomes a Mafioso. Each character tells of their encounters with Jesus in a way that is by turns hilarious and deeply moving.

Twenty-one characters in all reproduce Mark's narrative in our language, bringing the person of Jesus into startling focus for the audience, enabling them to experience the ministry, passion and resurrection of Christ in a fresh and exciting way.

"The Heart of God"
The story of the Bible - God's relationship with people
Written by Alan Atwood

Can be presented in 30-minute, 45-minute or 60-minute lengths
The Heart of God is revealed as He creates people, falls in love with them, loses them and then must come to earth Himself to pay the penalty for their sins. A dramatic "walk through the bible", the play draws the audience into a deep experience of God's great desire to be known by the people He's created.

This play was designed to communicate the basic truth of God's Word to someone who has never read it, but also speaks eloquently to believers about God's love and long-suffering.

Modelled after "Traveling Light", 12 modern characters appear to play out the great events of the scripture in a modern and often humorous way.
