On Friday, December 16 we were happy to perform for Eagle Wings Academy. This small Christian school is doing great things for the Lord by investing in their kids’ lives. I have a lot of respect for what the teachers are doing to spread the light of Jesus Christ. We danced some of our Christmas pieces such as God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman, Joyful to the World, Noel, and Light of the Stable. Krystalan and Cayla spoke clearly to the school about what the Lord has done in their lives. God is always faithful to give us the right words when the time comes to get up and talk. At the end we finished with Carry Your Name, in which the audience did arm motions with us. I was happy to meet and pray for the precious students there. God is doing great things! It seemed like such a short performance, but overall the people were very hospitable, the space for our dance floor was great, and the Lord blessed us with His presence.

Carousel mall
On Saturday, December 17th, we had three performances at Carousel Mall as part of an outreach called mission Syracuse. A wonderful group of vocalists and musicians put together a delightful program of Christmas classics, dancing, the Christmas story told in Linus fashion and a salvation invitation.
It was clear from the very beginning that the Lord was working for us. There were some issues with the setup, but we were able to meet all of the mall’s requests and still have plenty of room to dance. The Lord also answered prayer regarding a dressing room. We were in a large maintenance hallway that was very close to where we were performing. It was a bit dusty, but we had plenty of space. J
The Lord moved and many people were touched and encouraged. Some wanted to know more about Christ and a few people were interested in attending a Bible study. Even through our exhaustion, (we were getting pretty tired by the end) the Lord gave us His strength and joy! It was such a blessing to be a part of mission Syracuse! It gave us the opportunity to meet some amazing people and work together to spread the message and joy of Christmas! I am excited to hear more stories about how God used these performances to draw people to himself! I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!
Blessings,
Abi

Oswego Community Christian School
On the 9th of December, we traveled out to the Oswego Community Christian School to perform for the students and teachers. We performed our series of Christmas dances, and Ashley and Karissa shared their testimonies. Karissa had found out rather last minute that she would be needed to share, and so she was feeling a bit nervous without her usual time to prepare, so several of the girls prayed for her before she went out to speak to the students, and God really used her powerfully. She really emphasized forgiveness, using her personal story to show how depending on Jesus to help her forgive overcame her bitterness. At the end of the performance, we had the students and teachers join us in arm motions to the song “Lord I Need You” by Chris Tomlin, and had the opportunity to pray with each person there. It is so encouraging to have the privilege of seeing God working, and being able to worship during these performances. Thank you and God bless!

Westcott Community Center
On Wednesday December 7th we performed at Westcott Community Center for their after school program. It was our first performance of Living Hope for this year, as well as the first time ever for us new trainees! It went very well. Everything was totally from Jesus! We had a nice space and set up went very well. There were some things that weren't perfectly as we had rehearsed, but somehow it all worked out :) Abi shared her testimony and did an amazing job, it was definitely Jesus words speaking through her! The children and workers enjoyed it and were blessed by it; I pray that Jesus brings it back to their minds and that the message will sink into their hearts. There really is something worth living and dying for, and it's Jesus! Thank you Lord for blessing this performance :) All the glory goes to Him!
Love,
Ashley

HIM Ministry
On the second of December, we performed for a Home School group at Believer’s Chapel. The Company was able to set everything up the day before, and that was a huge blessing! This was our first Christmas performance of the year, it was our first time dancing for an audience of mostly children, and it was also our first performance that included levels from the Ballet School.
The dancing went very well and all the credit goes to the Lord! We hadn’t had much time to work with the pieces and it was wonderful to see how everything came together. Krystalan gave her testimony and really engaged the kids. We invited them to join us in some arm movements for the last song and everyone participated including the boys! It was very encouraging to see!
After the performance the kids broke into groups and some of the company members got to share about their trip to Israel. The trainees had the opportunity to join Ashley in praying for the older group of girls. She talked about finding our identity, realizing that Satan wants to steal it away from us, but God wants to reveal it to us. The Lord used the performance as an encouragement and an opportunity to declare his name in praise!
To God be the glory!
