WELCOME!

WELCOME!
We are a young group of volunteers from the Family International who've come together to form a theatre group in London.

With our plays, we address controversial and difficult issues everybody faces in today's society. We perform all over London and the UK with one goal in mind:

Encouraging our audience to take control of their futures, and challenging them to make a difference!

Thousand Dreams....

Sorry there hasn't been much posted up here recently. Hasn't been much action this end as of yet... Sam (Death) is in Brazil for three weeks so things have been a bit slower...
Having said that though, some friends of ours in New York recorded this music video - fun and cute - enjoy!

Community Service :P...

What with the rain and all (yep, the sunny weather's taken flight this end...hope it's better wherever you are), our team hasn't been as active on the streets over the past week or so.
BUT...we have done a good deed in the meantime - volunteering for a community clean-up project to try and clear some of the junk littering our lovely canal!


Inglorious? I think not! We merely swapped our theater costumes for yellow jackets and our props for awesome pick-up sticks and wallah!
We had a lot of fun despite the perpetual rain, working together with the organizers of the event. Some of us even got to use grappling hooks to fling into the water and drag stuff from the bottom (I was the only girl to try it and let me tell you, there was about two warehouses worth of clothing down there...disgusting).


We found all sorts of stuff, from random floating coconuts to empty gasoline containers and even a buggy. I think for me the biggest find was the realization that the environment is seriously going to hell - all of us have contributed to the massive amounts of waste at some point in our lives (yes, that empty gum wrapper DID count :P).


But it's also cool to know that there are people out there dedicated to trying to save what they can and make the environment a better place. Sort of like the way each of us decide to do a good deed even though it just seems like a drop in the bucket when everyone else around us is making the wrong decisions.


Just makes life...nicer, I guess. Certainly makes us feel better anyway! :D

Eye Candy!

Scored the colored version of the leaflet we were reading with some of the gang in Swansea!

Basically outlines a lot of what our plays discuss and the overall creed of our team (Drafted up by Simon and designed by the awesomely talented Bella :P).

Have a read - it just might change your life!

A quick nip to Swansea...

Okay, I know a lot of people are going to be less then pleased with us for this (because we didn't give much forewarning), but it turns out...

We were actually in Swansea last Saturday!

...You guys...I can explain EVERYTHING *wrings hands nervously*.

Basically, the window of opportunity for a small team of us (Simon, me, Josh, Raph, Sam, Shaun and Bella) to hit the road opened very suddenly and we grabbed at it - so quickly in fact that time honestly didn't allow for me to sit down and write a blog post about it.

(Alan and Josh)

I'm SORRY *hides head in hands*. You can all kill me later. But the good news is we did see some of you anyway (Alan and Laura - you guys were so much fun). And the new folks were equally wonderful.

You're probably going to hate me more if I tell you we don't have pictures, right?...Right, I'll just go die now :P.

Just a few audience candids...

Leicester....

(Everything unfolds on Leicester's walking street)

Finally managed to rustle up some snaps from our fantastic day in Leicester last weekend!

Yeah I know...I didn't say anything about it before. Didn't have any pics, is why :D.

Anyway, Josh, Sam, Shaun, me, Faye, Raph and Simon drove up to Leicester and met up with a crowd of lively teenagers (and our good old pal Caleb!).

It was pelting with rain but we're very determined, see, so we managed to perform at least three times regardless. It was a very triumphant afternoon, considering the opposition!

(Raph and Sarah (Caleb's sis..the one with the funky bag) with some Leicesterites)

Set Me Free and Everything were the skits of the day and met with very good crowd responses.


All in all, yet another fun-filled day at the office!

Stay tuned for more pix, people................

Stability in Unstable Times!

Some food for thot on the current financial crisis :D
—A message from Jesus

You're on a hotline with someone special on the other end, someone who can really help you. Someone who has answers, complete with landing gear—specific answers tailor made for you in your situation.

Is that hard to believe? You may feel like you've heard or read many such promises before. Each time, they failed to deliver, even those that were advertised as "guaranteed for life." You may have believed those promises and bought into them, devoting your time and effort to attaining the rewards they painted in glowing colors before you.

Now, maybe you're not so sure anymore. You or others close to you, your friends and family, may have lost a promising job, financial stability, perhaps even a dream home—and worst of all, there doesn't appear to be any hope of a quick recovery. Everything you loved and valued feels like it could slip away any minute.

But will it?

Turn your focus for a moment toward your family and others you love and care for. Do you still have your kids, or your wife or husband, or your parents, or your sisters and brothers, or your friends? Consider the love, care, support, and encouragement you receive from those who are close to you. You can't see or tally these blessings, but you can certainly feel them. If you look at your life with the right perspective, you'll find that you really haven't lost as much as you might at first think you have.

A wise man once said that even if you lost the entire world but still held onto your faith, then really you've lost nothing. If you have faith, the world is at your command. There are no unscalable heights, no uncrossable rivers, no impregnable walls, and no tsunami of economic depression that can pull you under.

Faith is the currency of the unseen world. Its exchange rate isn't subject to economic fluctuations or stock market "corrections." Faith's intrinsic value is immeasurable. Faith can change your circumstances, conditions, and even your outlook on life. It doesn't disappear in any recession, natural disaster, accident, or any other calamity. Faith can lift you up and out of any crisis, misery, debt, or loss, even those of your own doing.

You can securely put your faith in Me, because I will never let you down. Will you look to Me and ask Me for My gift of faith? I can place it in your heart, even if you can't find it there yourself. In fact, if you ask Me, I can do something wonderful inside of you that will totally eclipse all loss. I love you so much that there's nothing I won't do for you—as long as it's good for you—if you ask Me in faith.

If you would like to experience the inner peace and stability that only I can give, you can. It starts by accepting Me as your Savior and inviting Me into your life, which you can do by saying these words to Me:

Jesus, I want to know You personally, so I invite You to come into my heart. Thank You for giving Your life for me so I could be forgiven for my sins, find peace of heart and mind here and now, and receive God's gift of eternal life. Amen.

Eagerly awaiting requests,
Jesus
