The Maranatha Drama Team

Maranatha’s 5-member drama group is traveling to churches this spring to present an inspirational story of foreign missions that will encourage and challenge believers to trust the Lord and live out their faith. “Operation Auca” shares the true story of five missionaries who were martyred in an effort to reach a reclusive tribe in the jungles of Ecuador in 1956. The drama includes acting, singing, a PowerPoint and video.

University president Dr. David Anderson or a member of the Executive team will travel with the group and preach. The team is directed by Associate Professor Stephen Robertson.

See itinerary below for current schedule, and if a performance is in your area, feel free to call the church for more information.
