Last night I was moved to tears repeatedly ...
amazing how you can be a Christian for so many years and then one day
it just clicks ... He did that ... He endured that ... for me?!

Missions
CALIFORNIA 2007:
California has long been considered a possible site for a DRIME extension base, and it was with this in mind that DRIME sent nine of its members on a mission trip to Southern California from February 23 to March 4, 2007. In the ten days they spent in California, the mission team maintained a daily average of three to four performances on California’s streets, hosted two drama training workshops, and had four church performances. They were also able to re-connect with contacts at Adventures In Missions (AIM) in San Francisco and strengthen DRIME’s relationship with Paseo del Rey Church near San Diego, who partnered with DRIME for the trip. “The commitment and support the pastors and congregation of Paseo Del Rey showed us was a true blessing,” said Tanya Price, who led the California Mission Team. “Southern California may prove to be the site of DRIME’s next extension base. Please pray for God’s leadership and guidance as DRIME takes the next step toward a potential base in the San Diego area.”
“I met Juan and a few of his friends at Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco. After watching 4 or 5 of our dramas from a distance, I had the chance to share the Gospel with them and leave Juan with a Bible. They had a strong faith background, but didn’t seem to have any assurance of their faith and admitted ‘they weren’t ready’ to live their lives God’s way.” - Tanya Price
“While doing street ministry with DRIME in San Diego, I had a conversation I’ll never forget. I approached a woman who was kneeling in front of the drama, and it wasn’t long before she began to weep while she told me of the tragedies in her life, repeating ‘I need this!’ again and again as she wept and watched. God used this conversation to open my eyes to the depth of anguish in those who have not yet accepted his healing hand.” - Kari Nishi
