This one man play captures the story of the Apostle Paul's letter to the church in Philippi. Through the gentle character of an absentminded Professor and his enthusiastic assistant Colin, Philippians comes to life in our hearts and our minds.

"Philippians - Message of Joy" is a creative presentation of the full text of Philippians from the New International Version, authorized by the International Bible Society. Touching on the many great themes in Paul's letter, and running for 40 minutes, we are taken on a journey discovering some of the historical background for the letter and then a recitation of the letter itself. Humorous and thoughtful, this is a story all can appreciate.

What People Are Saying:

John Wason’s ministry presentation of “Philippians – Message of Joy” was at once uplifting and inspiring. His word for word rendition of the Apostle Paul’s letter to the fledgling church at Philippi released to our congregation at Mt Baptist a wonderful sense of the “livingness” found elsewhere in God’s word. We will never read Philippians the same again. - Rev Chris Haines, Mt Maunganui Baptist

A thoroughly professional and delightful performance. My NT studies were never this captivating or inspiring. - Reverend Keith Hooker, St Peter’s Presbyterian

A witty, relevant and inspiring presentation which captured the imagination of the audience and made God’s Word come alive. - Pastor George Bryant, Welcome Bay Community Church
