Friday, August 17, 2007 Really totally, throughly enjoyed myself these few days with michelle n dolce from Hillsongs. Monday was only from leaders and cheoreographers, but i got lessons till 530pm, so couldnt go for the afternoon session on cheoreo... *sad* Met them for dinner at this hong kong food place.Not bad and pretty cheap.. Then night session on leadership. Michelle talked about keys to be a great leader in dance ministry. One key thing i rmb is the part when we thought about the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats for the ministry. We talked about how to improve our weaknesses and make the threats into opportunities. Tues only had night session, but it was wonderful. Learnt abit of this really fast song, "Victory". Hip hop style.. Wed, missed the extra session in the morning cos i got lesson. Met them at chinatown before going back for full dance session. Woohoo! exciting. Dolce taught us the full cheoreo for "victory". Fast and not easy. haha... i have difficulty in turning! Cant balanced... haha. Then she did "None but Jesus" slow worship song, shown in the video in the previous entry. Very nice and ministering.. =) Night was session again. We talked about dance that communicates. The key really is to portray the right message, to God and to the people watching so that we can all enter into worship and praise. Did a simple army exercise to see the big contrast between a strong n confident dancer and pne full of fear. Then we learnt another new song, dont know the name. this one is the fastest, dfficult leh. Thurs, i was there for morning n night session, but missed afternoon dance session cos i have tutorial. Morning session was on the vision n how it relates to dance. Very interesting cos we have never talked about this. A few things i caught, obey God in the small ways, it's God's purpose for u. And we discussed how to personlised the church's vision for dance. Michelle also talked about the meaning of "Here i am, send me." Not necessarily meaning mission, it could be using me to talk to the right people at the right moment, sending emails, wearing a T-shirt with a print that bless others, or bringing people to me. Really exciting to see all the visions forming and things we can do as a team. =) Back from tutorial, attended the night session where michelle shared about us being dancers or ministers. The process of doing things will determine if it is ministry or not. The things we do may not have the content, but if we do it prayfully and meaning it for God's purposes, it will be ministry. She then brought out 9 points on things that create dance ministers, not just dancers. I'll just share one which caught me. Increase, increasing awareness of the presence of God. We always say we want to bring the presence of God into the place, but God is always around, what we can do is to connect and be aware of His presence. There are many more points which she talked about throughout these 4 days that brought alot of wisdom and enlightenment to me. =) Finally, we ended off by dancing a couple of times to "None but Jesus". Really using the dance to worship and engage with God. And pastor paul n laifun prayed for the leaders who in turn prayed for the teams,to set us apart as dance ministers for God. Pastor laifun's word to me was simple, to have the freedom and confidence to dance in worship. And pastor paul's ending prayer brought a tug, For God chose me, and chose me to bring fruits, fruits that will last... The ministry was really deep and God was with us,of course... and i believe the ministry will continue till completion. =) Labels: In the mirror, Serving God -The Princess Jesus Loves- 2:05 AM
