The Rewards

Outreach: His Story is a wonderful way to bring the Gospel to those who are not yet Christians. It is great entertainment whilst also being informative and challenging. Some comments after the May 2006 production:  

• Well done it was such a massive success!! Had one of the F&F guys ask if
  it could be done in the north of the county where he lives.
  
  
• Just wanted to say what an awesome night it was at the King's!  The performance was brilliant, top quality!
  
  
• One of my work colleagues (Pete) and his girlfriend turned up at His Story on Saturday. He has no faith but asked some really pertinent questions this morning
  
  
• You have made me think about my own beliefs and the relevance of Christ’s teaching in my own everyday life. I’m sure your production generated much thought in those who saw it.
  
  
• Fantastic evening, congratulations
  
  
• We had a really good time!  Excellent show.  Congrats to all involved - a triumph
  
  
• Great show Saturday night- we both really enjoyed it
  
  
• Everyone I came with to the matinee thoroughly enjoyed it and I am sure would not have believed it could have been bettered
  
  
• The show was stunning and a great spectacular
  
  
• I would just like to say on behalf of Michelle, Carol and myself how much we
  enjoyed last night. We thought the show was fantastic-well done!!!
  
  
• Really enjoyed the production - Loved the energy and the variety.
  
  
• Many congratulations on what I thought was a total triumph last night
