Joel McMillen – Playing Jesus
”The message, the comradery – We all say no matter how many churches are involved, it’s like a reunion for us too. It’s a reunion this side of heaven because we’re all going to be together one day anyway and it’s nice to get together for a musical and a musical for a good cause.”
Bob Wolfe – Playing a Fisherman
Everyone has their reasons for attending, but there’s one they can all agree upon.
”I love Jesus.”
