Another exciting thing God continues to do in
our Church is give us the opportunity to minister through "Let
His People Dance", our dance and worship team. Our church
has had the blessing of being able to worship the Lord through
dance for approximately five years. He gave us the precious gift
to worship Him through dance and tambourines and we are so grateful.
This ministry has enabled us to share God's gift of worship with
many this past year.
The Lord has been faithful with our dance team during
all these years, we have seen how some members have left and have
seen new ones join; and through it all we have been able to see
that it is His will for us to continue ministering through dance
and He keeps the group alive and renewed.
This past year we were able to once again minister
in our church through our Christmas and Easter celebrations. With
the participation of the children of the Home these times have
become such an exciting time for us, to see the little faces of
the children showing God's praises and glory is indescribable.
Celebrating the birth of our King, then His death and resurrection
with the participation of all the children and members of our
church, have made these times special times to cherish and remember.
We also had the opportunity to minister to all the
pastors of the city, during the Pastors Alliance Meeting held
at our church as well as the Woman's Alliance Meeting also held
at our church. Both opportunities were of great joy as many pastors
and pastor's wives were touched by the spirit of the Lord through
dance and praises. For the Woman's Alliance Meeting we had the
opportunity to have Arleen Hall as our special speaker. She shared
with all the 300 women that gathered at our church about God's
beautiful way of making problems opportunities for us to learn
to depend and trust Him and really know He is in control.
God gave us the opportunity to go and minister to
local churches several times during the year, but He was very
special to us and gave us the opportunity to get out of our city
and go minister out of town on two opportunities. For both occasions
we were invited to minister at Women's Conferences, and God was
so good for we did not only go to minister through dance, but
we were ministered to through God's Holy Spirit and the beautiful
women God used as speakers for both conferences. Both trips were
gifts from the Lord. The first one was to a church in Villahumada,
a town 3 hours away from Juarez. We were also invited to the city
of Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua, a city in the mountains about
7 hours away from Juarez where Keren and Armando were members
during their social work year. We are so thankful to God for both
these trips; we just want to continue to be taken where God wants
to take us. We are excited for what the Lord has for us in the
future. We pray for our teens and women who are part of "Let
His People Dance", that the Lord will continue to anoint
them so that they may praise and worship and continue ministering
to others through His dances.
We praise the Lord for this past year and for every
time He allowed us to come into His presence and be fed by His
love and Spirit. We are thankful for our Church and for all His
blessings through the whole year.
