Dear Brethren and Sisters,
Loving greetings in the service of our Lord and Master.
“Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” What a great responsibility we all have to our Lord Jesus and to our Heavenly Father to fulfill this command.
Ecclesias worldwide continue to create new methods of preaching. In 1992, the CALS in Britain developed an outstanding public presentation under the heading of “God’s New World.” (See foregoing article.) This new approach included very high quality visual and audio elements along with well prepared props and scripts. Eleven well advertised presentations reached a large number of friends. In addition, it developed a renewed zeal within the brotherhood for preaching the word of God.
The Great Lakes Advancement of Scriptural Knowledge (Great Lakes ASK) is interested in developing a program of the same caliber to present to North Americans. Given the workand expense involved, we appeal to ecclesias inNorth America to let us know the level of interest and possible general support for such a presentation.
Target 1996
The program involves slides, film clips, props for the stage, lighting, sound effects, etc. which will require a lot of organizing and hard work. Considering the planning and preparation involved, we feel a lead time of three years is reasonable. This means that, if our Lord ‘should tarry, the presentation would be ready by 1996. Would the “God’s New World” theme be used here? Most likely not! Great Lakes ASK would prefer to put a North American perspective into the presentation. It will also be necessary to tailor the scripts to the character and style of the presenters and of the audience. Each province or state may feel the need to consider this aspect and the script would be adjustable.
Many other questions may come to mind, so please contact us. A video of the “God’s New World” presentation is available on request to give you an idea of the type of project we are anticipating.
Brethren and sisters, we are looking for support from the brotherhood, either as individuals or as ecclesias. Could your town benefit from a production of this dimension? Please let us know as soon as possible if you wish to support this project. More precise information will be forthcoming to those who show interest.
In the bonds of Christ,
