Testimonials

The Christian SWAT
Spiritual Warfare Action Team

"I want to thank all of you for such a great ride. The SWAT Play was one of the most successful shows that I have experienced. You see, initially I thought that I was coming to “watch” a performance and that I would leave and go about my merry little life. But I have to tell you as I was sitting among the audience; I felt that I was in the bar, that I was behind the bars, and that I was beating up Mr. Alfred. This show brought back so much and I saw myself in each character at different stages in the play. I could relate to the roles played by Chris, Pishoy, John, Mina, Mina, Caroline, Jacky, Olivia, Rugde, Alfred and Sarah (sorry Hardee…I can’t feel your character).

"I am not writing to give you a pep talk and tell you how great you are. You already received the half-time pep talk on Sunday during intermission. I am not sending this email to remind you that this is a service for God and that you have to understand that it is about the message not about the technical performance. I think you are all well aware of that and are spiritually mature enough to understand that point. I am not even writing to ask you to consider doing something like this again, because I know you realize what an honor it is to serve God and to be chosen to serve Him.

"I AM writing to thank you for leaving your imprint on my heart, for reminding me from where I have been brought and for INSISTING that we the audience understand that God can and will use a person that has been lost in sin, swimming in the filth of this world, to be His chosen vessel. We forget, even when we read the scriptures, even when we have been there ourselves, that God will use those who are willing, and those who have been touched by the love of others.

"It is not often that I am given a chance to be preached to by those whom I am supposed to Shepard, and be reminded that it is by the grace of God, that I am what I am. Thank you for touching me and reminding me of much of what I had forgotten. Thank you for reminding me about my own “Mr. Alfred” in my life, who came to me in my time of need.

"You are amazing, in that you have been used by the Almighty! I thank my God upon every remembrance of you and pray that the seeds that you have scattered, another would water, and that Christ would continue to increase His Kingdom daily. God bless all your efforts and bring the increase in His time! You are all in my heart."

Humbly yours,

Hi:

Just wanted to give you some words of encouragement. I took my three girls yesterday to go see the play last night in Holmdel. I loved it! I cried for 80% of the play. It touched me deep inside. And I am by far not a teenager anymore, but I serve teenagers in high school and it is my dream that kids that are troubled come to this heart awakening realization that Sarah experienced. Even those that are not as troubled as Sarah but have an apathy for their faith, this hopefully will awaken a passion and thirst for their Lord. It was so well done and entertaining. My girls and their friends said that they were not bored! THAT is an accomplishment ! BELIEVE ME!

I am spreading the word about your website! Thank you for all of your hard work and God bless your ministry.

This is George Mousa, most of you might recognize my name. Through the past 15 years I had the honor to compose, arrange, and record the music for most of the plays, and choir CDs for the metropolitan area churches. Unfortunately, I was never able to invite my wife, and kids to enjoy watching all the previous Arabic plays, because they don't understand the Arabic language. On April 13, 2007 my family and I drove to Queens, NY to enjoy the play Christian SWAT, which was all in English. The play was very well done in every way, and it was very effective in proving its points. This play touched us, and our kids as well. I would like to extend my thanks to the writer, directors, actors, and the whole team for delivering such an amazing piece of work which was desperately needed by the young generation. May God bless you all, and we are all waiting for the next one (IN ENGLISH).

Thanx,

"My name is Fady Mobader; I am the director of the play. A year and a half ago, when I was approached about working on Christian SWAT, I refused. I was a DJ at a night club, and I couldn’t work on a play that taught the exact opposite. A member of the SWAT said, “Just try.” Three months later I realized that I had to leave the night club even though I needed the money badly.

"Working on the play changed my life in many ways. I am one of the people who’s been helped by SWAT. So if you need help, just email them. If I can change, anyone can."

"Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of the sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not whither; and whatever he does shall prosper" (Psalm1:1-3).
