Awesome Team

Andreas and I are working with an awesome team of staff!
(From Canada and S. Korea)


22 students - who are very passionate and diverse!
(Phillippines, USA, Egypt, Switzerland, S. Korea, Mexico, Marshal Islands, Brazil, Canada, Chile/Argentina)

Weekly guest speakers from: University of the Nations (International & Cambodia),  International House of Prayer, Broadway, Hollywood, Tacoma Team Ministry, Voice for the Voiceless, the list goes on and on.  

These speakers come to our school and share in depth about their topics & skill. 

After 5 weeks of working together on a production, we decided to cut everything and release everyone to create to their hearts content....
....This is a bit crazy, but the process is being over seen by us and our awesome staff.  (we are aiming to be radical like Gideon!)  


We are practicing and working hard on a variety show!  From various dances...



...to a variety of vocal ensemble & music pieces.  
(we have an amazing opera singer who has her Ph.D. in music working with our singers. A true blessing and honor!)


 Our team is fundraising & praying for financial provision for our "tour" to London, England & Edinburgh, Scotland!  We will spend from end of June-end of August in Europe.  Very ROUGH numbers here, but as a WHOLE team we are needing roughly $125,000.  Already half of that has been paid!!! 

As for the EXACT amount Andreas and I are still needing for the trip & over the next 4 months.  I can email you with updates on that very soon.

We love you guys back in NYC (BDC, Church!, Atmosphere/PD, Brooklyn)!
All of our cozy family and friends in Haugesund! We are thinking of you often and all the delicious cakes! ;)
Our wonderful family and friends in VA who have been with me through this Performing Arts ministry adventure since 1989!  what?!  Thanks for cheering me on continuously.
Everyone who we have met along the journey of being in Kona and traveling the world. ;)  
  
Thanks for keeping up with us on the blog and via fb, and on all the other communication mediums we have these days.  We especially appreciate those of you who have been faithfully standing beside us financially and prayerfully.  

This has been a very different season from NYC and dancing 20+ hours a week.  It has been hectic at times and not always the easiest season, but -WOW- how much I have been challenged to grow in mind, heart, attitude, and SPIRIT!  It has been a season of laying down "rights", and picking up ... not to be cliche ... but honestly, picking up the cross and loving God deeper through that.  We are serving other artists and people, to give them space to create and figure out who they are called to be.  Our students and staff have been such a joy, even when circumstances get tough...these people are awesome!  Wish you could meet them yourselves. Much LOVE.
