Piercing Word is a ministry that has been performing scripture across the country since 2007 and is currently based out of Lancaster, PA. The mission of Piercing Word is to ignite passion for the Word of God in the heart of the Church through Scripture Performance. After all, there is no better script than Scripture! Aaron House is the Founder and Executive Director of Piercing Word. Although originally from Houston, TX, he currently lives in Lancaster, PA with his lovely wife, Emily, and their children. Before taking Piercing Word full time in January of 2013, he was a full-time professional actor at Sight & Sound Theatres in Lancaster, PA for 3 years and in the Branson, MO location for 2 years. He has a BA in Musical Theatre from Ouachita Baptist University in Arkansas and has been performing professionally since he was ten years old. He was ordained as a Minister of the Gospel at Champion Forest Baptist Church in Houston, TX in November 2013 and has a deep passion for Jesus Christ and for the Word of God. He desires to use his performance abilities for the glory of God alone. Emily House has been involved with Piercing Word since August of 2011, right before she started dating the Executive Director! She is a graduate of Elim Bible Institute and former Assistant Director of Drama Ministry - a mime team focused on discipling youth. This heart for discipleship has carried her into her role of Discipleship Director for Piercing Word. Emily loves working alongside her husband in ministry, and this has been another wonderful opportunity to combine her love for acting and heart for people to bless the Lord! Now, Emily spends most of her time raising their beautiful children but is still involved in the ministry as she is able. "For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart." (Heb 4:12ESV) We pray that each heart may be pierced by His powerful Word!
