Spirit Blade

An Action Packed Martial Arts Performance

 with an Even More Powerful Message from the Bible

Ephesians 6:10-11 (New International Version)

The Armor of God

 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.

 

Since the 1990’s with hit shows like Walker Texas Ranger and the Power Rangers, the Martial Arts have became mainstream entertainment in America. The Martial Arts have also become a very popular activity for children with karate, tae kwon do and kung fu being taught in virtually every community in America. Spirit Blade wishes to use the martial arts as a tool to help spread the Gospel.

  Spirit Blade currently is an approximately 40 minute live martial arts demonstration. Weapons, breaking, and dramatized fight scenes help make up the exciting show. Biblical messages are woven throughout the performance and there is a brief testimony and simple Gospel presentation.

 -Honorarium of $200.00 plus travel expenses and allow Spirit Blade to set up a table for merchandise.
