mime, drama and puppets to spread the word
by Melissa Strieker
Capital Christian Fellowship (CCF) wel
comed “Holy Hands” to Penn State Harris
burg on March 25. The evangelistic mime
drama-puppet ministry is made up of 11 stu
dents affiliated with Valley Forge Christian
College, Pheonixville, Pa.
“I was really impressed with Holy Hands
from start to finish. I am amazed of how this
was created. It is an original piece, not cop
ied form someone else,” said Mark
Tomlinson, 26, an accounting major and
president of CCF.
“It shows that the word of God can be used
to minister,” he continued. “There were about
45 people who came out from both the cam
pus and the community. We were able to
touch lives and that was the key.”
Holy Hands was started four years ago by
Jason Rising. Their mission is to penetrate
the cities in the Northeast with the procla
mation of the gospel of Jesus Christ in love,
power and hope. The group’s goal is to
present a clear and relevant message of faith
to the visually responsive, unchurched soci
ety through use of mime, drama, puppets and
...like birth control, testing and treatment of sexually
transmitted infections and annual checkups. Whether you

the preaching of the word.
Rising, 25, said: “We have never been on a
secular university campus. We enjoyed our
selves, bus most of all this message that we
are bringing is real to us through the images
that we have on our minds.”
He added, “We can actually see the tears
people have cried at alters and see the words
we have in our hearts about Jesus Christ.”
Like many other campus outreach pro
grams, CCF receives a lot of positive feed
back from students. “The emotion inside this
room was unbelievable,” said Lindsay Fuddy,
21, a Material Science major.

ter or not,” O’Dell added. “People will re
spond to God’s call. They will get their hearts

For their part, CCF has held many events
in the past including a Ghotti Hook concert.
However, this was probably the most memo
rable for the group because it allowed them
to actually be a part of the production.
