A Brief Synopsis

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” is the first word we hear screamed from the depths of Moses' soul. He is waking up to his true identity. And though he may have been aware of his dual citizenship as both a Hebrew and the adopted son of Hatshepsut, the daughter of Pharaoh, everything changed the moment he really understood the truth. Killing an Egyptian didn’t help. Disconnected from his kinsmen and pursued by his adopted family, Moses flees to Midian.

This is the story of finding a home. And being at home, being at peace, means answering the call burning within your heart.

David Kauffman and William Gokelman have created a classic. You can find yourself in the story of Moses and the story of Moses can be found in you.

Building Community

"I was blessed to be a part of the first community to perform an early version of MOSES back in 2006. It created an atmosphere for ministry like nothing I have ever seen before. Performing it provided a spark that ignited our entire church community to work and worship in a new and profound way.

We found ourselves—our own lives—in this story. There is something magical about the proclamation of God’s word through song and story. This music will always resonate in our hearts as a powerful and joyful touchstone to the incredible story of MOSES."
