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
ETHIOPIA 2003:
In August 2003 a team of twelve DRIME members traveled to Ethiopia, participating in DRIME’s first visit to Africa. The mission team, led by Jeff and Michelle Renaud, spent fourteen days working with Serving in Mission (SIM) and ministering to churches in Addis Abada, Ethiopia’s capital city. Each morning was spent hosting drama training workshops to equip the local church to take God’s message to their fellow Ethiopians. In addition to training dramas to thirteen different church groups, they also had the opportunity to visit orphanages, minister at hospitals, and perform in a variety of churches.
“On one of our last days in Ethiopia I had the chance to minister to a young boy named Ahem. Raised in an Orthodox household, he is not allowed to read his own Bible without the interpretation of the priest, and so asked me a fountain of questions about who Jesus is to me. I was able to give him and Amheric Bible and had the opportunity to pray with him before we left. My prayer for Ahem is that he will find truth in the Word, experience grace in his own life, and understand the freedom he can have through Christ.” - Lillian Tarvudd
“The day we visited the Selam orphanage, our team and performance was warmly welcomed. Following our performance, our team took time to pray with the children. The time of prayer began with our prayer for the orphanage, and then slowly evolved into the orphaned children lifting a chorus of blessing and praise over us. I raised my head to look at the children and a young boy of seven caught my eye. He wore a neon windbreaker and stood tall, filled with the Spirit – his eyes were shut tightly and his hands were shaking as he held them above his head. I was overcome with emotion and started to cry, completely overwhelmed by this child’s faith and the fact that he was praying so passionately for us. Seeing the faith that child had opened my eyes to what faith is and what it looks like.” - Shelley Weglo
