The second part is the Outreach Phase where you will take what you learned and use it in a full-stage, gospel production called Encounter.

The last 2 weeks of outreach we go to another nation and use a street drama called, doors. 

This course is designed to empower you to grow your relationship with the Lord, use your skills for the kingdom of God, and enhance your discipleship through the art of theater. Our goal is to teach you how to use your talents to preach the gospel and see people come into relationship with Jesus.
