Prof Underwood:
It's a long story, but bottom line is Satan had a personal vendetta with me for other reasons besides being in the play last year. That was the main reason that it affected me for so long afterward, plus the fact that I made a stupid choice to remain almost completely silent about my struggle. Thankfully, it is finally over and done with. However, I also don't regret playing the role that I did because I know it brought people to Christ.
As for this year, so far there has been a positive response, but we also do it for the long-term. People may not accept Christ right then and there, but we have planted the seed and continue to pray for them, which is all we really can do. And the fact that we are causing turbulence in the spiritual realm would indicate to me that we are making a difference, and satan obviously doesn't like it. But as our director often reminds us, if only one soul were rescued by it, all of our hard work and effort would be worth it. However, we already know of more than that, though I don't have exact numbers. I do know that at least two children have given their lives over to the Lord because of it, which blesses my heart especially, and I also heard of a married couple where one rededicated their life and the other invited Christ in for the first time after seeing it. This in and of itself is enough for us to keep going with it. Besides, we've been doing it for twenty years now. We aren't just going to quit because it's a little dangerous. If all Christians had that attitude, nobody would ever be saved, and then where would we be?
