QUOTES re: Singapore CAN!

(Creative Arts Network)

It is a connecting point for the creative God chasers - a people who love God and who love people. A garden for creative seeds to be birthed, watered and grow for Kingdom purposes!
Pastor Beatrice Kang
Trinity Christian Centre

"It is almost impossible to develop Drama in a vacuum. Artists and Church Workers trying to develop meaningful and progressive Drama in their Church, for edification or outreach can benefit so much from meeting others who are doing similair work. A chance to share ideas, resources, solutions to problems and encouragement, stimulation and skills to keep going!"
Sean Tobin
Associate Artistic Director
The Necessary Stage

"The body of Christ isn't just limited to the confines of my church alone. I'm amazed at the resources and information generated just through networking with CAN!. That's expansion of the body of Christ beyond the four walls of my church!"
Elaine Tan
Full Gospel Assembly

"CAN! is doing a great job in rallying the various Creative Arts Ministries together. In this ever-changing times, there is a need for us to explore new ways & means to reach out to the masses. This implies that the Arts groups must strive for competency in their artistic ventures & this is possible when we all come together to share our resources & learn from one another. CAN! is one such avenue where the various ministries can interact and sharpen their skills."
Jeffrey Yoong
Covenant Evangelical Free Church
Creative Arts Ministry

"I am very excited that there is a network of Christian artistes out there keeping in tough with each other and our Father. We need to consistently touch base with the stage actors and any type of dramatists, from all walks of life, regardless if you're full time or part time actor. This network will be a source for resource and renewal for brothers and sisters out there looking for a shoulder to lean on."
Alvin Ang
TOUCH Entertainment

"CAN has reinforced my belief that God has called some of us to be Christian drama artistes, to touch and impact those who need to hear the love story of God more experientially than just hearing or just seeing.

With the network, I know there is a larger group of like-minded dramatists - those who love not just their art, but are passionate for Christ and His work. And with the network, even though we are from different churches and drama teams, we can find advice and support!!"

Sally Loh
Grace Assembly of God
Drama Team

CAN!s really a good chance for Christians involved in drama to get together.
Not only for networking but also for mutual spiritual support. Do hope more can be involved!

Shelen Ong
ORTV

"Often we feel like a lonely camel in the wild desert that has no companion, support or motivation to walk this journey. With the opportunity to meet these people, some who are even professionals in this field, collaborations are formed and excitement and passion are gradually stirred or renewed. Can! Act is an avenue for us drama enthusiasts to exchange pointers and having fun flexing our “acting muscles”, especially for those who are usually behind-the-scene workers like me."
Marilyn Chee
Paya Lebar Methodist
Drama Ministry
