the overthrow and destruction of strongholds.
II Corinthians 10:4 (Amplified)
Hello and welcome, I hope everyone had a pleasant, blessing filled
Easter. Metropolis has been incredibly busy the past month,
occasionally leading worship at the Columbia Vineyard and performing
drama ministry in the prisons.
To lead worship at the Vineyard, Dennis Bracy has put together a
talented team of musicians, Donny Harr on guitar, Chris Berry on
congas, and Paul Jones on bass. These men are highly anointed and
definitely gifted in the area of worship. They are strongly dedicated
to spreading the good news of the Lord through song, dance, worship
and ministry. Sherry Bracy also plays a vital role as an intercessor
during these times of worship, her prayer and worship have become an
essential part of the ministry.
The "drama team" of Metropolis visited three South Carolina
prisons during the month of April. There, we performed the
"Living Music Video," Song of the Warrior. Our efforts have
resulted in 12 people publicly being saved, and we are convinced even
more people have been touched and perhaps accepted Jesus as their
savior.
Saturday, April 29th, we were at State Park Correctional in Columbia,
a women's prison. We had barely arrived when it became obvious that
the enemy was there waiting on us. All of the intercessory prayers
apparently had been heard, because we seemed to be filled with strife.
BUT, we immediately went to war and were blessed with the presence of
the Holy Spirit. Usually after the performances we begin packing up
right away, this particular night was different. We all quietly fell
into silent prayer. A feeling of calm exhaustion came over me, I
cannot speak for the others, but I felt as though we had won a very
important battle. However, these women have many more battles to
fight, and obstacles to overcome, so please join us in continued
prayer for them.
MEET METROPOLIS
This is the part where I'd like to introduce you to members of
Metropolis. Each month I will try to feature one of the hard-working,
dedicated warriors, who help Dennis and Sherry keep this ministry
fighting for God and His glory. This month's featured soldier is CHRIS
BERRY.
Chris is 23 years old, single, and is an awesome photographer. Besides
photography, he has many other talents, not the least of which is
playing the congas for Metropolis' worship team. Chris became involved
with Metropolis when Dennis Bracy asked him to consider running sound
for the ministry. After a month of careful prayer, Chris came aboard
as sound man, but has ended up as the percussionist, and as an actor.
He really had no interest in performing, he just wanted to run sound,
but it soon was clear that Chris should play the part of Jesus in our
crucifixion scene. (Just another of the many creative ways God has
used each of us involved in Metropolis.) At first he was a little shy,
but he is filled with such passion for our savior, that he embraced
the role and has been giving extremely moving performances as Jesus,
as well as other roles in the drama.
Thank you all for visiting the Metropolis website, and please don't
forget to check out all the other great pages!
Yours in Christ
Kim
