Other than a few hot and muggy days, the weather for the 2014 Passion Play has been very accommodating and pleasant for the presenters and visitors. Since the Holy Land and Play are outdoor venues, we have to adapt and keep going. Friday and Saturday we had rain and much cooler weather and with the wind factored in, it was rather uncomfortable for everyone. Umbrellas, ponchos, rainwear, gloves, blankets and hot drinks were the order of the day and some of the biblical costumes were pretty unique. But, the show must go on, and go on it did with a spirit of perseverance and spunk which was encouraging to those who would rather have been in out of the cold. October in Arkansas can be challenging and we met the challenge and will go into the coming week, and the four performances, with a resolve that with only seven total performance days left in the season, we want to finish strong.
God has been so faithful to the Passion Play ministry over the years. There have been years of exceptional success and periods when it looked like the Play would disappear as so many others have. There have been natural disasters, financial difficulties, management issues and personnel problems, but through it all the Play has survived and God has kept His presence and protection on this ministry. We face many issues going forward, but if God continues to bless this ministry and it's ministers and the thousands who come here to witness His presence, the show will continue and grow. We need God's strength and favor and the willingness and obedience of many to keep the message alive here. Pray for The Great Passion Play, that God's will continue to be done here as it has been for nearly 50 years, and that people will continue to be impacted and blessed. Thank You, Lord, for bringing us here and allowing us to serve You in a way we never imagined when we left Colorado ten months ago. It has been quite a ride and we are grateful for it.
