| Prison Outreach Mission of Revelation Ministries
One
of our visions is to present the gospel of Jesus Christ to inmates and
prison personnel through music and drama. We will endeavor through our
presentation to strengthen those who are discipling inmates and to affirm
the continuing presence of Christ among them.
At the invitation of Prison Fellowship Ministries,
we continue to present the life of Christ to those within the correctional
institutions of Florida and beyond. Our musical production, restricted
to only twenty participants, will feature not only the birth and death
of Christ but also His healing ministry and the depiction of the Lord’s
Supper. Traditional tunes as well as more contemporary ones will
tell the story with some assistance from our narrators.
The institutions restrict the use of certain props
and the construction of a set. Therefore, the costuming has become
the focal point – and we have to “wear” all of our costumes into prison
(for obvious reasons they won’t allow us to have racks of costumes offstage).
It has been fun and quite the challenge to create costumes that are reversible
and innovative. The twenty participants will provide thirty-eight
characters including the manger, tomb and even the cross!
We began this ministry with the faith of a mustard
seed. We have asked God how to raise awareness of our work. We believe
that He has answered us with this prison outreach. Prison ministry
is ministry in its purest form. In Matthew it says that the mustard
seed grew into a tree so large that the birds built a nest in the top of
it. Travis’ church family at First Baptist Church of Oakland Park,
Oakland Park, FL has provided the seed money. We purchased
the fabric for our costumes and our special props, i.e., tomb, rock, cross,
and even the Lord’s Supper table. With the assistance of several
members of West Burnsville Baptist Church in Burnsville, NC the costumes
were completed. And now for the “mustard treetop part” – the vision
is for the prison outreach to become nationwide!
We need you to partner with us as we continue to
bring the GOOD NEWS to prisons, jails and detention centers. We
continuously look for financial supporters, volunteers to help us with
administrative skills, costumers, seamstresses, office & storage space,
churches and more.
So if the Son sets you free, you will be
free indeed. John 8:36
