CLEVELAND, Ga., (TMNews) – Chris Britt of Ropha Productions presented a moving recitation of the last three chapters of the Gospel of Matthew during Truett-McConnell College’s chapel on February 19th.

Quoting Matthew chapters 26-28 from memory, Britt used his acting skills to change voices and choreograph movements which coincide with the words of the story; the audience listened in overwhelming silence as he spoke and acted out the scenes. Britt used only three props: a stool, a chest, and a ladder, and finished his verse-by-verse demonstration with the Great Commission.

Britt is originally from Atlanta, Ga., but moved to Los Angeles to become an actor when he was 19 years old. Soon after, God redirected his life, and he’s been using his talents to present scripture directly to his audiences ever since.
