Summer 2001

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

If I wasn't convinced before of God's calling on my life "to restore the nations unto Him through worship and dance," I am now. Stepping fully by faith into the work God's put before me, I am now committing 100 percent of my attention to this ministry. This puts me in a position to ask for and depend on the tithes and gifts of God's people. I'd like to share what God's been doing in this ministry and ask you to prayerfully consider sponsoring me financially with your support.

Many of you know of the ministry the Lord has called me to. His ways are confounding! Especially when I look back on my Life and see how His hands were at work shaping my experiences and skills to prepare me for times such as these.

I have been living in Juarez, Mexico since November 2000 working with Emmanuel Church and Children's Home building a ministry of worship, dance and the arts. Que Su Pueblo Dance! (Let His People Dance!) was born. It's a team of women and men, teens and children that is renewing hearts through praise and worship. It is my heart that a unified team be raised at the church and other churches in Juarez to minister life to the city and a country that is hungry for experiencing God in real worship.

Working in cooperation with Emmanuel Ministries and skillful artists the Lord has brought to Emmanuel, I have started multi-church classes on dance for Juarez young people. We will be facilitating open worship evenings (once a week) for students and youth that come as part of volunteer teams to the Home during the summer. And we will be opening an art school In the fall. I do believe God's plan is to establish a worship and arts training center at Emmanuel where artists from all over the world may come to be renewed and released in their God-given creative giftings.
