3. Good Christian People, a youth play exploring what it means to be good

Good Christian People, by the youth ministry of Bethel Assembly of God, asks: “Why do we bother being good?”

Brought up by a strict mother, she strives to earn God’s favour by being good – until she meets an ah beng (gangster) who mocks everything she’s ever believed in. Her life unravels even further when she discovers a secret that her “perfect” family has been hiding.

Put together by Velocity, the youth ministry of Bethel Assembly of God, this Christmas play takes a humorous and honest look at the human condition and uncovers the true reason Jesus stepped into our world 2,000 years ago.
