I saw the Drama Team from Bi- ola last summer when they came through Hong Kong (my parents are missionaries there) but never dreamed of being a part of the team. When we arrived in Dallas, things were not exactly as we had ex pected. Monday we were all ready to do the play and no audience! We spent time in prayer asking the Lord to guide us because we knew He had taken us to Dallas for a purpose. The next day we helped pass information around the State Fairgrounds where the Festival was being held. That eve ning we had our first perform ance, the next day we had three, and on several days after we had two performances a day. The Lord really used the play to bring peo ple to Him. I think the one thing that had lasting effect was Cod's direct an swers to prayer.
"His strength is made perfect in our weakness," was the phrase that most typified our week in Dallas. We went expecting glamour and publicity, and the opposite hap pened! Cod first had to remove all expectations of personal glory and reward so that FJe could take over and use us for His own glory. I found out that in doing so He al ways gives back the greatest re wards. I was amazed at how God hon ored every scheduled performance that we had by giving us an audi ence. People walking through the auditorium to get to the wax mu seum were directed into our little theatre, and heard the Gospel pre sented— some for the first time. "Experience is the best teacher," and I learned a lot about Cod this week and how He works in our lives to perform His will!
