What can dance do?
Our team gathered at training camp as thirteen individuals with a sole desire to go to Ireland to spread the love of Christ, yet oblivious to the capacity that their life was about to change. During the four days at training camp, we were put through intense team builders, messages that filled our minds, and flooded with the compassion that Christ has for ALL nations. With such powerful moments, the leader team prayed for a joy to fill each girl and spread through the teams.
On the third night and after a wearing day, we sat through a message about stepping way out of our comfort zone, only knowing that God will be there ready to fight with us. We responded through prayer and worship. Our team was gathered in a circle, when one of the girls whispered, “Molly, do you think we could dance?” The Holy Spirit had already placed this on my heart, but this child of His responded. Our team broke out in dance…stomps…jigs…lyrical…etc. They were finding the kind of freedom that breaks strongholds. A FREEDOM ONLY CHRIST CAN GIVE!!
The freedom that was discovered that night by the team led to an intense unified community that continued throughout the month in Ireland. It was amazing to see the joy that can be brought by through dance.
“I will build you up again
and you will be rebuilt, O Virgin Israel.
Again you will take up your tambourines
and go out to dance with the joyful.”
Jeremiah 31:4
