The stories of the Sheep and the Shepherd, Good Samaritan, Prodigal Son, and many others come to life with both humor and poignancy.

Her experience in theatre production mainly involves props but also includes some stage management. She is incredibly passionate about storytelling, specifically the impact stories can have on individuals, and she believes theatre is one of the most powerful ways to tell one. With that in mind, she is so excited and honored to be joining Piercing Word in their mission to ignite passion for the Word of God using the medium of theatre. | | | | Lexi Fisher hails from Hanover, Pennsylvania where she lives with her parents and three year old Goldendoodle, Thaddeus. She was home-educated from kindergarten through twelfth grade, and graduated in 2018 with distinctions in Character and Leadership in Christian Ministries, Music, Performing Arts and Theater. She was blessed in the summer of that same year to go on a nine week missions trip with The Academy of Arts Summer Drama Team, where she played Mary Magdalene in the play "But We See Jesus". It was amazing to see the Lord work and provide during that time. Now, Lexi is excited to be a Piercing Word Fall/Spring Intern, and is looking forward to growing and learning through this ministry. She is currently pursuing ministry through the performing arts as a career, and has been humbled to see the Lord guiding her path and providing opportunities to further develop her skill and experience. She is honored to be serving with Piercing Word and can't wait to see what the Lord will do! | | |  | | Jacqueline Schaeffer is from Wichita Falls, Texas and is the youngest sibling to three older brothers.

Jacqueline also danced with the Wichita Falls Ballet Theatre company for six years, two of which she was a senior company member. She enjoyed performing in their annual production of the Nutcracker, as well as many spring productions and Signature Series. Besides the arts, she also likes cooking, taking nature walks, and spending time with her family. Jacqueline is very excited to combine her love for the Word of God and her passion for acting, and is thrilled to be a part of the Piercing Word internship this year. Following the internship, she plans to attend Liberty University to pursue a BFA in Musical Theatre with a minor in Business. | | | | Acting since the age of four, Kay Seiler has a passion to love the Lord through theater and music!
