Hello everyone!

Workshops and conferences

In the past couple years, we have received quite a few emails requesting information about inviting us to teach at local churches, worship conferences and worship dance conferences. Well, we have finally wised up to the fact that it would be a lot easier and more efficient to create a web page with that information and one that gathered information rather than type the same information again and again for each request.

We would love to come to your church, your city or your conference to serve you, equip you and help you take your ministry to the next level. We can come together and at the same time work with your dance ministry and the worship team or come and work with either one individually. Here is a brief sample overview of what we offer:

Dawn teaches on:
- having a successful dance ministry - the spiritual and practical foundations
- what every dancer must know
- moving together as a team
- biblical foundations of dance
- the physical aspects of our praise and worship
- how to communicate with your leadership
- moving into vertical worship dance, breaking through to spontaneous dance
- dance as a tool of intercession, warfare, and making God’s word flesh (prophetic dance)
- understanding banners, flags and other ornaments of praise and worship
- creating choreography
- preparing for your holiday musical
- choreographed dances for attendees to use at their church
and more...

Wiesiek teaches on:
- the heart of a worshiper
- the presence versus performance
- excellence in music and vocals
- keys for worship leaders to create a worshiping community
- keys for worship leaders to communicate with their pastors
- keys for worship leaders to work with their creative arts ministries
- when the "writing on the wall" ends - moving into spontaneous worship
- flow - a crucial ingredient of the worship service
- putting together your song list
and more...

Our teaching approach is very practical as we carry many years of experience in our respective ministry areas. Our goal is to tailor each conference or workshop to the needs within your individual church or community of churches. People ask about our financial expectations; we are very reasonable and will work with each event coordinator to meet your needs and expectations within your budget. Compensation depends on the extend of our involvement - how many days, how many sessions, etc.

If you consider putting on a conference, workshop or need a choreographer for your holiday musical, please fill out a short Inquiry Form here. We will respond shortly and answer any questions you may have.

Dawn is writing a book

Dawn is in the process of writing a book. This book will give practical information and spiritual insight for a successful movement ministry. We thought we would begin including a small excerpts from the book in our newsletters. So here is the first one:

"Believe and accept that God can and will do great things in your life and through you. Often we get the Psalm 22:6 thought process going; I am just a worm, not a man/woman. We don’t let God out of the box of our weakness and limitations. He is all-powerful and can do anything He wants through anyone He wants any way He wants. Look at Moses. Moses was a wanted man for murder hiding on the backside of the desert. He was not a man of position, power, or prestige. He didn’t even have his own sheep; at 80 years of age, he was taking care of his father-in-law’s sheep. He had a terrible speech impediment and an extremely low self-esteem. When God spoke to him in a miraculous way, Moses argued with God... for quite a while. But, look what God did with and through Moses, even with all of Moses' shortcomings. God is expanding His kingdom and He wants to use you to do it."   ("Now glory be to God! By His mighty power at work within us, He is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope. Ephesians 3:20)

New product

We are very glad to offer you a new product we mentioned in our last newsletter:
Beyond Words - an instrumental journey - music CD by Duane Kirkwood.
"We all find moments in life where words are inadequate and simply get in the way of one's deep emotions and thoughts. Music can be an expressive language that takes you beyond mere words. It is my desire that the atmosphere this music creates takes you on a seamless journey; a journey not of words but of simple rest away from the hectic noise in our loud and busy lives.
May the language of this music take you "Beyond Words" - Duane Kirkwood

This instrumental CD is a great addition to your time of devotion, meditation, prayer, rest, stretching, exercising, hosting a dinner or just simply doing your daily chores. Here are short samples of all the 12 tracks. (Adobe Flash Player is required to play it here. If you don't have one, download Flash Player here. To listen from our web site click here.)

"Excellent! I'm so happy to have purchased this CD. The first listen moved me to tears. Since then, I've played it as background music when I've had guests and it created a calm, relaxing mood. I'll be playing it both when I'm alone and with friends. I've never owned anything like it."  -  Martha Zimmerman
