"From Eden to Eternity" - Friday 25th June 7:30pm

From Eden to Eternity, in just an hour?

“Could you squeeze the story of the Bible into a one hour long play?”

This challenge, presented to Saltmine Theatre Company by Wycliffe Bible Translators, has led to a
stage production of the story of the Bible entitled From Eden to Eternity. This exciting show will
tour 27 venues across England and Wales during May and June.

We are delighted that their tour includes Freshbrook Evangelical Church at 7.30 pm on Friday 25 June 2010.

But why does Wycliffe (whose members have been involved in more than 750 New Testament and Bible
translations into languages spoken by over 100 million people) want to see a Bible show in the UK?

“It’s not just in far parts of the world that people need to hear the Bible story,” says Eddie Arthur,
Executive Director of Wycliffe UK. “Here in the UK we’ve been able to read the Bible for hundreds of years,
and yet the number of Christians who read and study the Bible is falling year on year. One of the amazing
privileges of working overseas with Wycliffe is to see the excitement in the faces of people when they get
to understand God’s Word in their own language for the first time. We want to help the British church
recapture that passion for the Bible. We want to see God’s message of love translated, not just into
languages, but into lives!”

Saltmine Theatre Company is the largest Christian theatre company in the UK. During 2009, they staged 477
performances of 18 different productions. They are best known for their stage adaptations of The Cross and
the Switchblade by David Wilkerson, The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom and The Screwtape Letters by
C.S. Lewis.

“There is something in From Eden to Eternity for everyone,” says Wycliffe UK’s Strategic Vision Director
Kent Anderson. “Whether you’re a Christian who wants to be challenged again by the breadth and depth of
the Bible, or you have a non-believing friend who you’d like to introduce to the message of God’s love
for the first time, I would recommend coming to see the show.”

Tickets are available through the website: www.eden2eternity.org or call 01384 454808. Tickets are £7 
(£6 for concessions – senior citizens, students and registered unemployed). A 50p booking fee applies
to all orders.
