Former Secretary of the All Nigeria Conference of Evangelical Drama Ministers (ANCEDRAM), Mr. Solomon Kure, has called on Christian drama ministers to make greater use of the media—particularly social media platforms—to spread godly content.
Kure encouraged drama ministers to produce and share short gospel dramas online, stressing that digital platforms should not be left to immoral and ungodly influences. He made the remarks during ANCEDRAM’s recent three-day state conference, which also marked the fellowship’s 25th anniversary, themed “For the Glory of His Name.”
As the umbrella body for gospel drama ministers and Christian filmmakers in Nigeria, ANCEDRAM has long championed the use of drama as a tool for evangelism. According to Kure, Christian drama plays a vital role in countering the rising tide of immorality in society while promoting biblical values.
“The internet is a powerful tool for spreading the gospel. Unfortunately, it has been dominated by ungodly content. My advice to drama ministers is to take charge of social media and flood it with gospel-based short dramas and impactful content,” Kure said.
He further suggested that immoral trends online could be countered by retelling biblical stories through creative drama and storytelling.
On the issue of funding, which remains a major challenge for Christian drama ministers, Kure encouraged collaboration and mutual support within the community. He also appealed to wealthy Christians to sponsor gospel drama initiatives, while urging content creators to embrace monetisation opportunities on platforms such as YouTube and Facebook.
“People are making money from promoting immoral content online. Christian drama ministers can do the same—using short films and gospel messages not only to evangelise but also to sustain their ministries financially,” he added.
In the same vein, Pastor Adedeji Adetiba, Chairman of ANCEDRAM Abuja Chapter, reiterated the call for more gospel content in the media. He urged gospel ministers—whether pastors, evangelists, or drama artists—to remain humble after receiving divine promotion and to stay focused on their primary calling of spreading Christ’s message.
Adetiba emphasised the unique power of drama in evangelism, particularly among young people.
“We’ve observed that immoral and corrupt movies are capturing the attention of many, especially the youth. People may forget sermons, but a well-delivered drama against immoral behaviour stays in their memory for a long time,” he said.
