Episode 102 - The Humble Beginnings of Sight & Sound Theatres

Moved by God’s creation as a young boy, Glenn Eshelman would come inside after a full day on the farm and draw what he saw. His parents recognized and encouraged his artistic talent and helped him develop it throughout his growing up years. Through the support of his parents, practice developing his skills in several different arenas, and obedience to the voice of the Holy Spirit, God paved the way for Glenn to bring stories of the Bible alive on a 300 foot wrap-around stage known today as Sight & Sound Theatres. This interview will reveal the amazing ways in which God used a small boy's talent to share the message of the Gospel with multitudes of people around the world.

GLENN ESHELMAN, along with his wife Shirley, are the founders and owners of Sight & Sound Theatres.
