Greetings!!!It is indeed an honor and pleasure for me to share with you valuable information that will elevate your mime and drama ministry to a new dimension of worship. By the end of this handbook my prayer is that you will be equipped to minister to the masses like never before. As you read and begin to implement the wisdom that flows within, please keep this thought in the forefront of your mind: (Your growth in ministry depends heavily on your willingness to never stop learning and to never stop worshiping the Lord) God is a forward moving God. So in other words, stop using the plans and utensils from yesterday for your today. Implement the plan that God is currently using (Present) not what He used (Past). What He USED was necessary to get you to where you are now. It serves as your reminder, your testimony for others."One of the key elements to creativity is the ability to embrace its openness. The positive power and energy that exudes from the arts cannot be contained in a box mentality." Such thinking chokes the life out of creativity causing it to become stale, boring, and ineffective.Therefore my goal is to instill fresh, innovative, creative ideas along with proper instructions to mime and performing arts ministries, by introducing the marriage of mime and drama - (Mime-O-Drama). I encourage you to align your lifestyle, your creativity with the anointing of the Holy Spirit and become one. This unity creates an atmosphere where true ministry takes place. Miracles, signs and wonders become the norm. Broken hearts are mended, the chains of bondage are broken, the vital breath of healing, deliverance and salvation flow into the lives of both the believer and non-believer. (Isaiah 61:1 - 3) says: "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.""Understanding your Holy calling equips you to live a lifestyle befitting of the call to be effective in ministry of mime and drama." The principle that sustains this handbook can be found in: (2nd Timothy 2: 15) says: "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth.""It is my earnest prayer that God will impart a fresh fire anointing upon your ministry. We as ministers of the performing arts have the ultimate responsibility to uplift the name of Jesus to the nations at all times. The lifestyle we live before our peers should serve as a light on a hill which would lead those searching, to find Christ." So let us lay aside the spirit of competition, entertainment, and personal gratification for the greater good. Let us therefore center our attention on Jesus Christ and illustrate HIS truth which is entrenched in the Word of God.- Minister Christopher Bailey, Sr.-
Christopher Neill Bailey, Sr. the C.E.O and Founder of B-Creative Entertainment LLC, born in Louisville, Kentucky. His unique, optimistic and dreamer like behavior mentality allowed him to consistently "think outside the box". That ability granted him access to utilize his creativity on various platforms. In the beginning it was performing in theatrical productions and musicals, while attending the University of Louisville. Although it started in the arena of performing on stage, he was being prepared and groomed to stand in front of audiences to share motivational / inspirational stories, thought processes, business concepts, new ideas and life changing opportunities. As a speaker, writer/director of (7) stage plays, producer of the largest mime conference in the world, and now add to his many accomplishments published author, he wanted to do more. He wanted to expand his reach. He would say; "When you seek to serve yourself, you end up living a mediocre lifestyle and your impact is minimal. However when you seek to serve others, you enter into the realm of GREATNESS." Chris was always able to "think outside the box," utilizing his creativity to express himself. He'd often perform in skits and musicals. While attending the University of Louisville, his interest in theater grew tremendously, whereas he perfected the gift of acting, and began developing the art of writing and directing. Never did he imagine that his theatrical training would lead him into the ministry of mime. His journey into the world of mime began 2006, where he ministered and formed a group called "Creatively Speaking Mime." As he grew in the art form of mime he was blessed with the opportunity to sit under great leadership. Christopher connected with the pastors of "Paneh Mime Ministry International. Pastors Timothy and Chandra Midgette, the visionaries and founders of Paneh Mime Ministries and the Paneh Troop trained Christopher who later became a member of the troop, continued the mission of spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ through the dramatic interpretation of mime. Christopher's favorite scripture comes from Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." A man after God's own heart, Christopher has overcome an array of circumstances that has strengthened his faith and he continues share his story of faith in every creative way possible.
