The Word and the Spirit unite in the performance of PSALMS. The narrator engages her voice, body, and mind to bring to life David's passion for God. The ballads perfectly complement the spoken Word and invite the Spirit to stir hearts. The audience is transformed into a community of worshippers engaged in a deeply moving experience.
Bill Dwyer,
Senior Pastor
Valley Vineyard,
Reseda, California
PSALMS made a deep impact on my life, and the lives of other's, because God definitely moved through this creation. Scriptural truth is creatively presented by gifted performers. From their depth and fullness, the richness, joy, wonder, anguish and cries of the Psalms of David, make the Scriptures come alive to the glory of God.”
ANDREW LIUSON Ph.D
MAKATI GOSPEL CHURCH

David's heart beats with every word and every song.
Oh, if we could only bottle it, so we may drink each time we face our lions, bears and Goliaths!
I will be reading Psalms from now on colored by what I have experienced in this presentation.”
Pastor Alex Pacis

“Psalms” as presented by MESSENGERS is having the written word 'logos' become the spoken/living Word 'rhema' of the true living God.

 “We
thank God for the ministry of Messengers! From
beginning to end, onstage and offstage, we encountered
a God-centered, Bible-saturated, prayer-bathed team
of individuals with a deep and sincere passion for
seeing real people find hope in God. Their commitment
to excellence is really nothing less than a humble
determination to glorify God with all their being.
Watching them is to worship with them. Worshipping
with them is to join with them in spreading the
Excellencies of our Savior. May God continue to bless
these skilled servants and their ministry with His
Spirit’s power for the joy of the nations!”
Kevin Dibbley

"I was gratefully impressed by the high profile given to Scripture by the “Messengers” in their portrayal of John's Gospel. Jesus was held high in reverence while the issues He confronted were presented in present day "visual" language. I felt like I was drawn into the message and that Christ reached into my mind and heart."

 “Messengers, “Passion…it’s
a dying thing” is a
must for everyone to see. God turns these ordinary
people into extra ordinary individuals to bring
the message of hope to the lost. Their Passion has
brought healing to my heart.”

Carruthers Creek Community Church-
House of Praise
Ajax Ontario, CA
“Messengers, your biblical story telling style
awakened the story telling heritage of many in our
congregation who are from the nations. The fiction
associated with dramatization was eliminated.
The direct use of scripture was penetrating and
engaging, bringing the audience face to face with
Jesus. This happened each time you came. Thank you for revealing the double
edged truth of God’s Love.”
Harrison Williams
Congregational Life Minister
Bethel Christian Fellowship
St. Paul, MN |

“Your Passion play is unique. I looked at all of the performers
and they are superb. There was never a moment of dullness. The
spontaneity of the play is captivating. Even the smallest member
of the cast had delivered her role par excellent. Your group is
indeed a blessing to our church. I trust that we would be able to
have Messengers come again for another play that will minister
to our people here in Canada.”
Rev. Elmer Manzo
Sr. Pastor
Kipling Avenue Baptist Church
Toronto, CA |
 “Till
now ay pinag-uusapan pa yong play! That was
wonderful and awesome. Kahit na may kahabaan
still you want it more and more because it is so
engrossing and really touching. The performers,
especially the kids are great. It is because the story
they play had already touched their heart, their life.”
Brother Rogelio Agbuya

“Our congregation was so blessed to have
MESSENGERS at our Good Friday service. Our
attendance for that evening was the highest ever
for that service. The power of the Scripture, the
professionalism of the presentation, and the humility
of each team member allowed the Spirit of God to work in the hearts of every
one
in attendance. I highly recommend this ministry.”
Rev. Timothy Vanderveld

 “The
audience was moved by Messengers dramatic
recitation of the Passion Story as recorded in the Bible.
Their presentations of Jesus’ parables were powerful and
left a lasting impact. Their creative, yet simple, retelling
of the last week of Christ’s life was refreshing, direct,
and clear. The Gospel was presented in a compelling
way.”
Darrell Benhardus
Sr. Pastor
North Haven Church
North St. Paul, MN
“The CrossWind Community Church of Denver,
Colorado is very thankful to the Lord and grateful to
Messengers for their superb performance and faithbuilding
rendition of the Passion. “It brought us closer
to the Lord. It strengthened our Faith” were some of the
comments of the people. Drama is a very good platform for bringing the
Gospel
to Post-modern minds and a very creative access that transcends cross-culturally.
Maraming Salamat Po!”
Rev. Carlos Bulalayao, Jr.
Sr. Pastor
CrossWind Community Church
Denver, CO |
 “I
am so glad that the presentation showed very
clearly that it is our personal faith in Christ, that
one can be saved and religion has nothing to do
with it.”
“I came expecting to hear a concert but what I saw
more than compensated for what I had expected.
The Passion play gave me more understanding of
the reasons why Christ had to die on the cross.”
“Pastor, this play is great. I invited some of my
friends who are all Roman Catholics and all of
them told me, they understood clearly
the message.”
Audience Comments
“Our church has truly been blessed and challenged by Messengers: “Passion…
it’s a dying thing”. The portrayal was artistic, but even more,
the challenge for
discipleship was biblically accurate. It was a spiritual experience and our
people
are still talking about it.”
Godfrey Catanus
Sr. Pastor
Northwest Filipino Baptist Church
Elk Grove Village, IL
“I was amazed at the way the Word was portrayed
in this Scripture filled account
of the last days of our Lord. Those were last days with galactic repercussions,
dramatized by empowered people with a passion for the Gospel. In this drama,
the
only obvious star is Christ. You must experience it.”
Alex Pacis

and was truly blessed to see and hear
a very clear presentation of the gospel. Almost everything they said was
quoted
directly from the Bible and that made for a very powerful presentation. I
highly
recommend this ministry.”

“The play was wonderful. This was my first time to witness a gospel
drama where
the dialogue is predominantly from the Word of God. It was so powerful it
struck
your heart with every Word that they said. 20-25 young people prayed to receive
Christ. I will never forget the wonderful experience I had with The Messengers.
Praise and Glory to God!”
Pastor Rowell Royong
Paranaque Bible Christian Church
Manila, Philippines
“That was a GREAT presentation! It was
almost unbelievable that the performers
were able to sustain such great vitality and emotion for 21/2 hours! This
was my
first time to see a ministry of Scripture Dramatization or Acted Scripture.
This
kind of ministry is excellent - I recommend that you pursue it and come again
to
our church!”

God has touched you!”

“The Passion Play was far different from other Christian plays I’ve
seen. It
was well planned and struck a perfect balance as to how the Gospel should
be
presented to our present generation. The Passion was the only play I’ve
seen that
has caught the attention of Filipino viewers young and old alike.”
Pastor Joey Uy
FEBIAS Seminary
Karuhatan, Philippines
“I witnessed that people left our sanctuary filled with the presence
of the Lord
and blessed by the clear Gospel message. There were more than 80 attendees
who
responded to the invitation that night and there were another 29 who professed
to
receive Jesus Christ in their life as Savior and Lord.”
Rev. Reynaldo R. Avante
Capital City Baptist Church
Quezon City, Philippines
"I highly recommend to anyone, the “Messengers” group. If you want an exciting & evangelistic play filled with scripture based on the Gospel of John, then, “Light and its Effect on the Beast” is for you. Because of its power and impact, the people in our church were talking about the play long after Messengers left."
