The2Locks: September 2016

The2Locks: September 2016 HeartBridge Summer Outreach HeartBridge Inc.  main role since 2005 has been leading Performing Arts Discipleship Training Schools (DTS) here in Kona, Hawai'i.  Every year a DTS team is equipped through HeartBridge to use dance, theater/acting, music, and vocals to bring the story of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15) to life, a story straight from the heart of the Father.  The performances happen in all types of venues: theaters, streets, schools, community centers, but the transformation takes place in the heart's of the audience member.  We bridge heart's of the audience member in new ways to the heart of our loving God.  This year the team went to Chile, Brazil, and the United States.  Read a powerful testimony from their time in Chile below.... Testimony: "His name is Felix" Check out this amazing testimony from one of our team membersMateo. It was one of the most difficult performances we had, outdoors, cold, raining, and we were performing in the middle of a basketball court in a notoriously dangerous ghetto in Santiago Chile called "puente alto" (high bridge) -- robberies and assaults are so common here they dubbed it, "puente asalto" (assault bridge). We finish the show and do an alter call, 100 people stepped up to accept Jesus in their hearts and ask for prayer!  One of which is a lady, asking for prayer for her own prodigal son he's addicted to drugs, she's concerned about gang affiliations, she finds she often isn't sure what's really going on with him, and like any mother she fears the worse for him.  As tears stream down her face she asks Mateo, "Will you pray for my son?"  Mateo: "What is his name?" Woman: "His name is Felix." They kneel together, cry together, and pray together for her son's safety, mercy, and that some how he would come to know the love of Christ. After praying together the lady steps away and Mateo finds a young man who has already began to receive ministry by other teammates.  The young man is sobbing, asking for repentance, and sharing how he has tried to commit suicide several times.  Through this young man's sobs Mateo is able to speak to him in Spanish and share the unfailing love of Jesus, and the healing change that only Jesus can bring.  The young man accepts Jesus then and there...immediately something changed!  You could see it in his eyes. Mateo:  "What's your name?" Young Man: "My name is Felix." Mateo looks up and the lady he had just prayed together with is pointing to the young man "That's my son!" She had no idea that he was there that night, and he saw the entire show of the Prodigal Son who comes home to the Father's Love. God knows our prayers and answers them!  He is the only one who can put all the pieces together to bring transformation in our hearts through the perfect love of Jesus! Highlights Ministry Connections

God is the Best Connecter I have spent much time praying for God to send dancers and instructors to Kona.  I was extremely thrilled when a friend informed me "Hey! One of my instructors is going to be visiting Kona!"  What? I didn't have to book anything, schedule a flight, an amazing dance instructor just so happened to be visiting because God said to them go to Kona!  Ann-Marie Heilman works with Ingredients/Dance Revolution out of Texas and has her own movement ministry she is developing called:Movementology - it was such a joy to have her here! Island Breeze & Chuck Pierce Chuck Pierce is a man who is traveling across the USA to share what God has put on his heart.  He began a new tour from right here on the YWAM Kona Campus.  We were invited to join in by his hosts: our friends in Island Breeze.  Several creative individuals (including Andreas) were prayed for by Chuck as He prayed out for God's release of a NEW expression!  It was a powerful time of ministry, dance in worship, and God working. We danced together with Island Breeze during worship time, and felt God truly was releasing a NEW expression!
