On Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday evening we had the pleasure of leading music / worship before the powerful drama “Heaven’s Gates & Hell’s Flames” just outside of Berlin, OH. It was a privilege for us to be a part of the event.

The drama was definitely powerful. It began with a portrayal of the crucifixion of Christ and his power over the grave. Then there were several mini skits depicting real life situations in which the characters lose their lives and find themselves waking up at the gates of heaven to find out whether or not their names were written in the Book of Life. For those who had put their faith in Jesus, he personally welcomed them through the gates of Heaven. Those who had not put their faith in Jesus were dragged away to Hell’s flames.

At the end of the drama an invitation was given for people to put their faith in Christ at that moment, to know that they will go to Heaven when they die and to begin a personal relationship with Jesus right now while they still live. 128 people came forward to declare that they were putting their faith Jesus! Praise God!

Thanks to everyone who came out to be a part of the event. We hope that you found it to be as powerful as we did. We would love to hear your feedback in the comments, so if you were there (or even if you just wanted to be there), let us know!
