A church in Yunnan performed the first sacred drama “Journey of Faith” as an intensive Bible reading plan is ongoing for months.
Since 2024, Beichen Church in Kunming has begun a three-year intensive Bible reading plan and concluded the reading of the book of Numbers by July，reported the church. Then te first sacred drama performance of the year was held at Glory Sanctuary in Beichen Church on July 26.
The sacred drama, “Journey of Faith," consisting of two chapters, followed the line of the Pentateuch of the Bible, performing two great men of faith in the Bible, Abraham, and Moses. By faith, Abraham went out into a place that was to be given to him as a heritage as God ordered him. By faith, Moses, when he came to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin.
With a cast consisting of a group of pastors, co-workers, and volunteers without any professional acting foundation, the directors focused more on the authentic presentation of the Bible.
The church said, “Perhaps it is that varied experience of the actors in their lives that stimulated inspirations in their performances, which adds to the outstanding technique and distinct spirituality of the play.”
After the sacred drama performance, a ceremony was held to welcome the believers and seekers who came to the hurch for the first time, accompanied by the hymns and rhythms of “Blessings of God Be Upon You.”

自2024年起，云南北辰教会开始了3年的精读《圣经》，截止7月，结束了《民数记》的阅读。7月26日，北辰教会年度首场圣剧演出在荣神堂落下帷幕。
据北辰活水，圣剧《信心的旅途》，共分为两个篇章，圣剧沿袭《圣经》摩西五经的脉络，选取了《圣经》中的两位信心伟人亚伯拉罕和摩西进行演绎。亚伯拉罕因着信，蒙召的时候，就遵命出去，往将来要得为业的地方去；摩西因着信，长大了就不肯称为法老女儿之子。他宁可和神的百姓同受苦害，也不愿暂时享受罪中之乐。
作为由一群没有任何专业表演基础的牧者、同工及义工组成的演员，编导们更多注重的是对《圣经》的真实呈现。
北辰教会说：“也许正是由于演员们在生活中那各不相同的经历，才淬炼其在演出时不同灵感的抒发，为该剧增添了出色的技巧性和鲜明的灵动性。”
圣剧演出后，欢迎礼举行，伴随着《赐福与你》的诗歌和律动，欢迎第一次来到北辰教会的信徒和慕道友。
