Joseph's Coat

We saw a production of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat" at Nyiregyhaza last night. The cast was made up of members of the Open Bible youth groups from Nyiregyhaza and Debrecen plus a few adults. They did an amazing job and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The play was done on a temporary stage set up in the back yard of the Nyiregyhaza church. Several things in addition to the excellence of the cast and director made this production special.

The point of the production was not just to entertain, but to present the gospel to as many people as possible. So, the cast and several others spent three days praying and distributing flyers throughout the neighborhood to invite as many as possible to the free play. After the play, Pastor Gulyas have a short presentation of the gospel tying it in with the story of Joseph.

About an hour before the play was to begin, though, a huge thunderstorm rolled through the city. The cast scrambled to protect the equipment and props and then began to pray for the storm to go away. And it did! Blue patches appeared in the sky and the rain stopped in time for the chairs to be replaced, the equipment set up again and the show to proceed! Praise God!
