Dancing with Norwegians

Hosting HEDMARKTOPPEN Dance Program

For the past THREE YEARS Andreas & I have been blessed to build relationship with a Dance Program from Norway.  Ironically they have been coming to Kona for 6 years, however...

2014: We first met in Houston, TX.
2015: We helped host them in Los Angeles, CA.
2016: We hosted them this month here in Kailua-Kona - we taught dance & pilates, we performed together, and we provided worship and teaching on Jesus!

Each year we have been with them it has been after they have spent a week in Mexico where they visit with street kids, trafficking victims, and build homes for homeless (http://www.ywamhomesofhope.org/).

It is always an amazing time to be with them! 

TESTIMONY 

They said "YES TO JESUS"


Hedmarktoppen is a Christian pre-University school, however not everyone who attends their various programs are believers.  That was the case for some in this year's Dance Program.

The night before our last day with the class, I (Tammy) woke up at 3AM, and felt the Lord nudging to get up and pray.  God started speaking . . .

In the morning, I challenged the dancers with what God had spoken in the middle of the night.

TWO CHALLENGES:
  • 1st: in light of their recent trip to Mexico, after seeing all the hardship of the people - would they forget about doing GOOD for others -OR- would they live a life doing GOOD for others in Jesus name?
HALF OF THEM RESPONDED!!!!!  Asking God for help in this area!!!!!!
  • 2nd: God wasn't done!  I felt God say there were some who knew Christ but didn't have relationship with Him because they did not trust Him.   I shared how ONLY JESUS IS TRUSTWORTHY, then asked how many were ready to say "YES to JESUS!"?  
FIVE RAISED THEIR HANDS!!  FIVE SAID YES TO JESUS!!

 PRAY 

We PRAY that God goes after these 5 relentlessly!  That He transforms their lives with HIS UNFAILING LOVE, and shows off how TRUSTWORTHY He is!  AMEN!

We have a GOOD FATHER!  SO GOOD that He will wake others up at 3am to pray, so that He can get an open door to show HIS LOVE to someone who did not fully know HIS LOVE.

Highlights

Teaching pilates to 19 Norwegian dancers.
Performing on campus  - the Norwegian Dancers also joined!

Vision Statement:

Lead by the wisdom of the Lord, my desire is to see the Kingdom of Heaven released and moving on earth in a radical, relevant, supernatural way, through the performing arts and through performing artists who choose excellence in their relationship with God and excellence in the skills God has given them.

Dancing for Global Missions Leaders

At the Cunningham's (Kona, Hawaii)

As February turns into March, we call this month "Mad March"- during this month YWAM hosts one meeting after another with global missions leaders.

We spent the last week of February performing at the Cunningham's who are hosting these meetings. We will continue with several more performances over the month of March.  One of the meetings we performed for Wycliffe Bible Translators!  What a privilege to bless & encourage them with our dancing.

After performing at one of the meetings we snapped a picture with Loren Cunningham (seen above) - the Founder of our mission organization - & announced on Facebook that he is our new breakdancer. ;)

Lost Kites

There are several Multi-media / Performing Arts endeavors on our campus. Heartbridge is just one part of that.  Another team that also serves here is called Innovision who sent a team known as the Eloy Project around the world to document the lives of 3 orphans.  Check out their film: LOST KITES.

Healing in Nepal

Right now Discipleship Training Schools are returning back to Kona from two-three month outreaches teams have been on.  Testimonies pour out from these outreach teams. Check out a video testimony from a previous team that was in Nepal.
