Seminar coming to a close

here in Juarez we have one more day of minisrty. Our two week seminar is coming to a close and our students are presenting there 3 minute final projects. They have all worked so hard. Sometimes the students were frusterated about the dance classes but all of them tried there best. This is such an act of spiritual warfare. When people step out of fear and try new and werid things it is a stand against Satan. The enemy wants people to let fear hold them back, some of the students were well over 60 but they were doing all the hip hop moves and trying the break dance moves. This is such an awesome act of faith and trust in God I am so encouraged by their faith and confidence in God they truly depend on Him and trust He can carry them through anything. I will be so sad to say goodbye next week but I believe God has used us to bring a new and refreshing view of the arts to this base. During this weekend we will be debriefing about the school and doing a few more bonding activities together before we go out to our homes all over the world. Please pray for our students for tomorrow that they would continue to step out in faith after we have left and work in the performing Arts. Also please pray for my many friends in this school that God would give them clear direction in the next part of their lives to get specific please pray for.... Chan Min, Gohoon, Jen, Hannah, Sarah, Lizzie, Bryan, Vanessa, Sebastian, and Daniel. Many of them are unsure of the future and have the whole world at their feet. Please pray for guidence and Gods will in their lives. I love them very much and I am so blessed to have traveled down this road alongside such humble and willing brothers and sisters in Chirst!


Maryland here I come!

Made it to Juarez

Yesterday we made it to Juarez. The plan for our time here is to do a ten day performing arts seminar. I will be teaching about creating warm ups and 3 hours of hip hop training. The base here is very excited about learning and we have a lot to share. The base here also runs an orphanage so we will be spending time with the children ther and possibly teaching dance there as well. I am really relaxed here Juarez is really dry dessert and often they have sand storms, and even though that does not sopund very appealing, I love it here. We have a lot of land to wlak and the sky is full of stars at night. I enjoy city life but it here we feel the presence of Gods peace. we are alsoi really happy becasue we spen the last 3 weeks sleeping on the floor and here we have amazing cozy beds and my back is really happy. I am glad this is our closing time of outreach we are ready for God to keep growing us and as always change us to be more like him.

something interesting that happened today... We had a time of intercession this mornig about Juarez. people say this is the most dangerous city in the world with the drug cratel and murder rate, but I thought about it today, maybe the stats are against this place but I feel realy at peace here. During our prayer time I felt God reminding me to again, believe the truth, maybe because so many people over react and speak negativly about this city is influencing its citizens. When people talk about something enough it can sometimes become the truth, that maybe people act on evil impulse becasue it is what they are expected to do. So my prayer is to stop looking at the bad or dangerous but expect Gods good here and look at the beauty in this place and remember Jaurez is Gods city, His plan is very powerful for this place.

Living here and now, but remembering home in my heart....

hello all. Mexico City has been a blast we have been doing performing arts seminars and evangelistic outreach performances for the past two weeks non stop. We have seen God do so much and people in Mexico really have a desire to learn more about the arts and using them as a tool to spread the gospel. Last week we traveled to Tulca Mexico and worked with a University there. We did a two day seminar teaching dances and children's ministry and then performed for a small community and government officials. we have been so blessed to be able to perform so much and be in contact with leaders of this nation.

On Saturday we are leaving for Juarez Mexico. We will be living on the YWAM base there and teaching in some churches in the area. The leaders have made it clear we will be really busy there so for the next few days we are taking it slow in the city. Today we did a prayer walk through the town and explored more of our community. we are living in a home.

Tonight some of our leaders are heading back to Korea and Hong Kong for a conference. Our team is losing 4 members, but we know God still has a plan for us in Juarez. God keeps changing the dynamics of our team and its keeping us flexible. we really go with the flow and keep fighting for God's will to be done in and through us.
