The Mission House
Behind the façade of a seemingly idyllic church family, hushed secrets fester behind closed doors... is it oblivion or misaligned priorities?
Devoting his entire life to the church, Pastor Alesh has always harbored a deep-seated conviction from a young age that he was destined to be a pastor. But as he pursues his grand vision, his family, particularly his 15-year-old daughter Bolu, bore the brunt.
Besides struggling with math and a gnawing sense of being alone, something despicable has been happening with Bolu right in her father's household, and he never noticed a thing. Pastor Alesh thought that perhaps the religious values he instilled in his children were enough to keep them "grounded."
But soon, he learns in the worst way possible that he was grievously mistaken.

The Waiting Room II and The Saved Thief
THE WAITING ROOM II AND THE SAVED THIEF
"The Waiting Room II" delves deep into the tapestry of human emotions, cultural pride, traditional wisdom, and divine providence. Set in an African milieu, the narrative unfolds with a vibrancy that is both culturally rich and emotionally resonant.
Central to the narrative are the biblical characters of Isaac and Ishmael, sons of Abraham. The juxtaposition of these figures adds a layer of complexity to the story, seamlessly weaving biblical themes into the cultural fabric of the Yoruba setting. The narrative takes a compelling turn as it explores the relationship between these half-brothers against the backdrop of a grand celebration-Isaac's birthday party.
"The Saved Thief" is a modern retelling of the saved thief on the cross with Jesus at Calvary. It focuses on a friend's pursuit of saving another. In the story, a boy is led astray, a boy who has always been lost discovers what it means to know Jesus, and a girl learns that, while she has no control over her friend's salvation, her Father does.

The Waiting Room and The Christmas Present
Waiting on God is an essential Christian value. Sometimes doubt creeps into our hearts and we become discouraged. Discouragement opens the door to anxiety, grief and uncertainty—these together bring about suffocation. The Waiting Room is a play that reveals a man’s effort to find a greener pasture that eventually leads him to an unhealthy relationship, thereby putting his home at risk of collapse. The play also pursues a cultural theme that encourages the exploration of other cultures. The Christmas Present reminds us of how easy it is to get so wrapped up in daily duties and so-called obligations that we forget about relationships and people who need us and what we can give. All the frantic impersonal activity will someday pass away, but what we do for people in Christ’s name will last forever and yield eternal results.
