Destiny USA Mall

On December 20th, the company, trainees, and youth ballet performed at Destiny Mall. Although shortly before we performed, we realized we had forgotten an important cord for the sound system, God proved faithful, and we were able to recover it and start the performance in a short amount of time. We performed our Christmas pieces from "A Christmas Celebration" twice that afternoon. Since we were in a central area of the mall (right where kids and their parents were lined up to see Santa), many people got to watch the performance and hear the salvation message given by Miss Ashley. We had the opportunity to dance with quite a few of the sweet kids there during our interaction with the audience, which was a lot of fun. Jesus was lifted high, and it was a wonderful way to begin Christmas week! ~Hannah W.

Galisano Children's Hospital

LWB had the privilege of performing our Christmas show at Galisano Children's Hospital December 18th. The Holy Spirit was very evident and God moved in many ways. We were able to interact with the children and had a special time of prayer with a family who had felt God speak into their lives. We are very thankful for all of the prayers for our performances and very thankful that we were able to share our joy with those awesome children. -Crisanna Bechtold

James Square

Light of the World trainees and youth ballet had the privilege of dancing at James Square adult home in downtown Syracuse. The performance was recorded for residents who were unable to come in person. We did the entire Christmas program, excepting God With Us and Here With Us, as the company members did not dance. All the dances went smoothly, and Miss Breanne gave the salvation message. After the performance we had the opportunity to talk to the audience members, many of whom had fascinating stories to tell. Several allowed us to further share the gospel message with them and seemed very open to the Lord. We are thankful for the chance to share God's love with these people. -Caitlyn

Everson Museum Festival of Trees

Sunday, December 14th Light of the World Ballet company, trainees and youth ballet had the opportunity to perform at the Everson Museum for the Festival of the Trees. We enjoyed performing dances from our Christmas Repertoire. It was such a joy to be able to join with the people at the museum in celebrating Christmas. The LORD is so faithful to provide us so many opportunities to perform and share the gift of His love.  ~Anna

A Christmas Celebration!

On December 7th Light of the World Ballet was blessed to perform “A Christmas Celebration” at Believer’s Chapel for an audience of over five hundred people! It was a wonderful time of remembering and rejoicing in Jesus’ birth. The Gospel message was shared and at least six people responded and received God’s gift of salvation! We praise Him and thank Him for coming to earth to seek out His lost sheep!

Winds of Agape Banquet

On Friday December 19^th, LWB Company performed at a surprise banquet at Winds of Agape. It was such a pleasure to participate in honoring Pastor Rick and Mrs. LaVerne Torrence, the founders of Winds of Agape Family Center. The room was beautifully decorated and a delicious meal was served. We performed parts of A Christmas Celebration for the fun and energetic audience.  After we danced they had a wonderful time of people singing to show their appreciation for the guests of honor. You could really sense the appreciation everyone had for this couple and it was very evident that they’ve made a huge impact on many lives. We wish them all the best in everything they do and in all the ways they bless the people in our community. ~Kristie

Westcott Community Center

        LWB Company, Trainees, and Youth Ballet were so happy to perform this past Friday at Westcott Community Center. There was a great atmosphere between the dancing, the artwork, the energetic faces of the kids, and most importantly the presence of God. There were two powerful messages of the gospel shared, after which four new souls professed Christ. Finally, those watching were invited up onto the stage to be led in some basic dance movement. It was such a blessing to see such an eager group respond so well to the workings of God. ~Hannah R.
