Drama Pants

Prepping for Romania is now underway! Teaching and learning the drama skits have been a blast.  Learning these skits will enabled us, the students, to communicate to the Romanian people better than just through a translator.  Also, learning skits together have helped the students bond and become closer, getting them ready for ten days of close togetherness.  For me, learning and preforming the dramas have made me even more excited for this mission trip.

Where does "Drama Pants" come from?
Rev. Kev and ten of his drama students tagged along with him to Second Baptist Church in downtown Fayetteville on a Saturday morning. Second Harvest Food Bank was parked in the church's parking lot and was giving out food for those who were in need; this was a perfect chance for the students to practice preforming their drama skits.  It was also the first time many of the Romania students were able to practice evangelism for the Mission Trip in February-March 2013. 
Before the drama team preformed their skits, the eleven of them huddled in a big circle and prayed for God to speak through their actions and help deliver the people watching from any suffering going on in their lives.  Of course, after any huddle, it is mandatory for a chant of some sort.  One of the boys put his hand in the middle of the huddle and said what would go down in Village Christian Academy class of 2013 's history: "Drama Pants on three!" On three, everyone whispered "Drama Pants," in order to be courteous of the line of people behind them.
Once the day of missions was over, and the van once again parking in the Village Christian Academy's parking lot, a closing prayer was said in the commons area of the church.  In the huddle, after the prayer, the chant was counted down, and the students finally got to yell their team name!
