The Mr. J Band
Judea
Website: http://mrjband.com
The Mr. J. Band contagiously proclaims Christ to children! They do this using music, teaching, and even crazy games to help children see Jesus. Yes, this is “professional-grade” theater matched with rock-solid preaching. BUT it’s much more than a performance. It has become a trade-mark of the MrJ Band that children will see Christ in this cast, on and off stage. They also propel children into a Bible reading habit by teaching kids a very simple routine for a daily devotional time.
