Matthew Gospel hits the stage

An engaging stage dramatisation of the gospel produced kingdom fruit in Geraldton.

Geraldton Anglican Cathedral member Eugenie Harris produced The Matthew Drama, a 90-minute retelling of the Gospel of Matthew with a cast of 15 local Christians.

“More than 200 people attended the two performances which happen as theatre-in-the-round so the audience is central to the action,” she said.

“The production, a Wycliffe Gospel Drama, presents the life, death and resurrection of Jesus so powerfully that audience members even weep.

“By God’s grace we had a very encouraging response to Jesus’ message."

One audience member commented, ‘I think I’ll start coming back to church.’  Another returned to a second performance in order to bring her children, and one man - invited by his neighbour - knew nothing about Matthew so in preparation decided to read the Gospel.

Please pray for God to continue to work in the hearts of all who witnessed The Matthew Drama.

Wycliffe directors also assist churches to present Gospel dramas of Luke and John.
