It's been a couple years since Drama Drash Ministries' first DVD, A Marriage Made in Heaven was released. Drama Drash administrators look at the project as not only a successful fund raiser, but more importantly as a vital message to the End Times Church. With the hour of our Bridegroom's return drawing nigh, we as a Body must prepare ourselves, to be of one mind and one heart and to set ourselves apart in holiness from the rest of the world. How do we accomplish that? By reviewing our role as a bride--no. not the modern bride of the 21st Century. After all, these days a marriage is a contractual arrangement that is to easily anulled. We don't want to base our relationship with Messiah on such a shaky foundation.
When the apostles composed the Bride of Christ analogy, and when God, Himself referred to His people in marriage terms, the reference was to ancient marriage customs. Back in the day, marriage was a covenant--an I'm-gonna-do-this-no-matter-what kind of committment that lasted for a lifetime. Each traditional stage to the marriage process is a prophetic forshadowing of our progression as the Bride of Christ. How does that translate into modern terms. What are the terms of our marriage covenant with Messiah? Why can't we be with Him now? What are we supposed to do until He returns? Those questions are addressed in A Marriage Made in Heaven, on stage or DVD.
Drama Drash Ministries was thrilled to be welcomed back to New Life Fellowship in Lawton, Oklahoma this July for a revival of the A Marriage Made in Heaven drama for the stage. New Lifers are old and loving friends of this drama ministry and fully support the Drama Drash vision and mission. New Life is a particularly loving congregation that always makes Drama Drash feel very special and it's always a treat to visit this fine congregation and their able shepherds, Dr. Robert and Alicia Dowell.
Reprising their film roles were Shirley as Narrator, Danny as Avi, Natalie, Malayna, and Emily as bridal attendants, Amber as Yisraela, the Bride, Pastor Mike as Elijah, Wayne #1 as Jacob, and Daniel as Joshua, the Bridegroom.
New to this performance was Nancy as the mother of Yisraela, in her Drama Drash debut. Aleah, Kathleen, and newcomer Ebony played bridal attendants. Wayne #2, Justin, and another Drama Drash newbie, Timonthy played the Friends of the Bridegroom.
A brief intermission followed the performance and the New Lifers went all out to provide a sumptuous snack. Afterwards, Shirley gave a teaching, explaining the terms of our marriage covenant with Jesus Messiah and how exactly we are to carry out those terms.

The Press Room 
Most Drama Drash projects tend to be tongue-in-cheek, in the hope of being entertaining enough to hold the audience attention. Drama Drash Ministries latest production, Do This in Memory of Me was a somber event, performed in Lawton, Oklahoma to a record-breaking crowd.
