Greetings!!! It is indeed an honor and pleasure for me to share with you valuable information that will elevate your mime and drama ministry to a new dimension of worship. By the end of this handbook my prayer is that you will be equipped to minister to the masses like never before. As you read and begin to implement the wisdom that flows within, please keep this thought in the forefront of your mind: (Your growth in ministry depends heavily on your willingness to never stop learning and to never stop worshiping the Lord) God is a forward moving God. So in other words, stop using the plans and utensils from yesterday for your today. Implement the plan that God is currently using (Present) not what He used (Past). What He USED was necessary to get you to where you are now. It serves as your reminder, your testimony for others. "One of the key elements to creativity is the ability to embrace its openness. The positive power and energy that exudes from the arts cannot be contained in a box mentality." Such thinking chokes the life out of creativity causing it to become stale, boring, and ineffective. Therefore my goal is to instill fresh, innovative, creative ideas along with proper instructions to mime and performing arts ministries, by introducing the marriage of mime and drama - (Mime-O-Drama). I encourage you to align your lifestyle, your creativity with the anointing of the Holy Spirit and become one. This unity creates an atmosphere where true ministry takes place. Miracles, signs and wonders become the norm. Broken hearts are mended, the chains of bondage are broken, the vital breath of healing, deliverance and salvation flow into the lives of both the believer and non-believer. (Isaiah 61:1 - 3) says: "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified." "Understanding your Holy calling equips you to live a lifestyle befitting of the call to be effective in ministry of mime and drama." The principle that sustains this handbook can be found in: (2nd Timothy 2: 15) says: "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth." "It is my earnest prayer that God will impart a fresh fire anointing upon your ministry. We as ministers of the performing arts have the ultimate responsibility to uplift the name of Jesus to the nations at all times. The lifestyle we live before our peers should serve as a light on a hill which would lead those searching, to find Christ." So let us lay aside the spirit of competition, entertainment, and personal gratification for the greater good. Let us therefore center our attention on Jesus Christ and illustrate HIS truth which is entrenched in the Word of God. - Minister Christopher Bailey, Sr.-

Church musicians' compensation obfuscates many religious people. One commentator of a nationally syndicated religious radio program stated that from all the religious questions, none is as controversial as Should church musicians should be paid?
