Meet our Ministry staff

Stop The Madness Outreach staffing includes a number of elements beginning with the need to know where we are headed. We have a ministry assessment component and this enables us to more accurately determine who to take on as volunteers to best accomplish these objectives. We are very meticulous because placement of people into ministry takes on a greater purpose than merely filling positions. We feel this big picture perspective gives us all the more reason to adequately train and support the people we take on as we know their contribution matters and it is working toward the common good. Over the years we have learned to most effectively work within this big picture, staffing must be seen as ministry and not mere administration! We found in staffing you can get so consumed with filling positions and scheduling workers that you actually forget why they are doing it. We are very up front with people who say they want to volunteer to help us. We sit them down and talk very frank about our ministry’s purpose. They must understand that we operate under a prophetic umbrella. They must understand we work in cooperation and alignment with God. They must understand the work requires much prayer because our only objective is to follow God’s purposes and designs for the Body which requires His heart and His choices! We accept one another according to Romans 15:7 and bear with one another according to Ephesians 4, being more concerned about building them up according to Romans 14:9 than getting all we can out of them. We honor one another even above ourselves according to Romans 12:10, being more concerned about their welfare than how their efforts make us look or feel. We never lose sight of the fact we are members of one another, and so we love others as we love ourselves and do not view ourselves as superior. Nor do we see our needs as more important. Even though we have distinct ministries to meet different needs requiring specific people with particular gifts to accomplish them, everyone comes under the umbrella of our ministry’s broad purpose. No program or individual ever stands alone, isolated from the whole.  We believe our ability to communicate our mission’s clarity is what has caused God to bless us with the best ministry team on this earth!

These are actors/actresses who study and practice a new script for each of our productions. They communicate a character and/or situations to an audience through speech, body language and
movement. All productions require our troupe to devise a character or improvise the reactions of a character to a situation. They must memorize lines and actions from a script and perform them in the manner of the character they’re portraying. Being a part of our troupe requires researching characters, studying script dialogue and rehearsing performances so they may give an accurate character portrayal. They confer with the actors and the directors as to the emotions, gestures and facial expressions their
character might display. Depending upon what is called for in the script, they may deliver comedic performances or be required to act, sing and dance in a production.
