Drama groups are made up of the youth in congregations in the Northern and Upper Eastern Regions. They perform plays in the local languages. The plays are based on Bible stories and are adapted to local situations.

Plays are performed in the dry season in communities mainly in the evenings. The whole community is present. After the play, people are invited to join the church. The respondents form the nucleus of a new preaching station. Drama groups and evangelism teams have helped to plant many new bible study groups and preaching stations in the Northern Regions.
