3. Describe how each of these areas of Drama can be used to reach people for God.
They can be used in Youth Rallies, Worships, and Youth Groups. Also, for going out to other churches, schools and youth groups as an outreach. For example, say you had a play about the nativity it would explain to people Jesus' birth. When acting it out, people who have never heard of Jesus, could easily find out about how the wise men came to see Jesus in just a play.

a. Pantomiming used as an outreach ministry should never be a guessing game. It should clearly state the theme.
