HOW DO WE SEE OURSELF


We wait in hope for the Lord ,he is our help and our shield.Psalm33.20
The Lord is Good to those whose hope is in him,to the one who seeks him....Lamentations 3.25
Hope is to put faith to work when douting would be easier.Those who sow in tears will reap with the songs of Joy.Psalm126.5
When you say a situation or a person is hopeless you ,re Slamming the door in the face of God.
Hope is faith holding out hand its dark.Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
By joyfull in in hope .patient in affliction ,faithful in prayer Romans 12.12

VISION – DANCE
To equip the body of Christ with the right perspective & necessary skills. Giving themselves unreservedly in intimacy in praise & worship.

To restore dance in the church – a dance that is holy (set apart for God’s use only), joyful & filled with praise & worship (not performance) because Jesus is the center.

To minister to people through movement.

Ps 79: 13 – “Then we Your people, the sheep of Your pasture will give You thanks forever, we will show forth & publish Your praise from generation to generation.”

We need to raise up a new generation in the truth of God’s word, to develop a freedom of movement & expression within God’s presence.

WHAT IS DANCE

-In everything we do we practice movement .To show someone you appreciate him,you go to the person and shake his hand or give him a hug.To express anger ,you throw your hands in the air or stamp your feet or clinch your fists.
-We express our deepest feelings through movement .
-Planned or unplanned movements are both an expression of your personality and character.
-Movement is part of life.
-Many times our bodies say something that our words cannot communicate.
DANCE IS SPIRIT ,SOUL AND BODY
