We end this month’s series with Mario Eusebio. Mario left Puerto Rico and headed to the U.S. with big dreams of being an actor. Mario’s big break came when he got a role on “Law and Order” followed by commercials and independent films. But Mario had to search deeper to find true fulfillment in his own relationship with God. Mario has a full-time job, serves as a Pastor at East Harlem Fellowship in New York city, and has a wife and three daughters. God has continued to open doors for Mario in the entertainment world.

We are continuing our series about Christians in the entertainment industry. Today our guest is Patricia Mauceri who has had a successful acting career in theater, television, and film. Patricia has worked with many famous actors including James Earl Jones, Christopher Plummer, Gene Hackman, Richard Dreyfuss and many more. She became a Christian while working on the daytime soap opera “One Life to Live” bringing Patricia to a place where she had to make a very difficult discussion that would affect her future and her career.

This month we’ve been hearing testimonies from people in the entertainment business. Today we have Christian rap artist Kei-Landa Rembert. Kei-Landa grew up in the church and as a young child, she started turning nursey rhymes into rap songs. 10 years ago, God spoke to her about a yearly 40-day time of prayer and fasting for the Hip-Hop recording industry. Through that simple act of obedience, God has opened the doors for her to pray with many well-known recording artists! Today, she continues to write and produce music that glorifies God.

Last week we heard Chris Monteleone’s story of how he got on Broadway, ending his career with “Beauty and the Beast” where he played Gaston and the Beast. Today we’ll hear from his wife Andie, who was a dancer on Broadway. Andie was raised amongst the cornfields of the Midwest, but ended up dancing on Broadway, and meeting her husband during the production of “Damn Yankees”. Andie’s story is different from her husband, Chris. God knows all of us, and what is best for each of His children.

Chris Monteleone was a Broadway actor for over 10 years in such musicals as “Damn Yankees” and “Beauty and the Beast” where he played Gaston and the Beast; to name a few. But his career didn’t start with dreams of being on Broadway. Listen to how this would be chemical engineer was cast in a high school musical that changed his life forever. With God there are no accidents.

It’s easy to trust God when you are in charge of all of your own plans but what happens when your faith is put to the test and you have to follow God’s leading for your future? That’s exactly what happened to Michelle Tong who went from being a corporate lawyer to a church elder here at Times Square Church.

Last week, Michelle Bachman shared how God, moved her from being a stay-at-home mom to law school, to working for the United States Department of Treasury, to fostering twenty-three teenage girls which launched her into politics. Michele Bachman served in the House of Representatives for eight years, was a presidential nominee in 2012, and is now the Dean of Government at Regent University.

Michelle Bachman, former US Representative for Minnesota, 2012 Presidential candidate, and now serves as Regent University’s Dean of Government, shares her story how she went from stay-at-home mom into politics. It wouldn’t be considered a normal path to politics but started with simple obedience to foster teenage girls.
