Eagles- Sr. Troupe
Roots and Wings Eagle Troupe is our more senior group of actors. These hard-working, focused students rehearse for 2.5 hours per week and are expected to work at home to memorize lines and blocking, practice choreography, and master choral parts. They are classically homeschooled and used to tackling difficult, new things. The growth in skill level in just two years has been tremendous, but the spiritual progress we have witnessed is what is most thrilling. They are coming into their own as servant-leaders. They are determining the culture around them instead of the culture defining them. Firmly on the path of discipleship, they are wanting more of God and taking ownership of this ministry.
"But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
