Thanks so much to each one who came, as well as to everyone who covered us in prayer, on June 3rd to minister at Boot Camp 4 Jesus’ 13th birthday party!
Thank you, El Shaddai, for releasing your joy and peace at Boot Camp 4 Jesus! Many were blessed, including Hope, who specifically wanted to thank us in person. Praise the LORD for the opportunity to share testimonies of His being our Peace and Refuge (when Jolene was in Israel during the Iranian rocket barrage in May), being a Miracle Worker (Cheryl no longer needs medication that I had taken since 1991) and a Healer (Courtney was told she would only be able to dance with a leg brace years ago, but within one year of that diagnosis the LORD fully healed her). Glory to God!!
Our end of season potluck will be held outside the Life Center on East side (elementary school playground is just across the street) of Lighthouse Christian Church on Thursday, May 30th, from 6:30-8:30pm. We’ll be celebrating summer birthdays and will run through the songs we will be ministering at Boot Camp 4 Jesus one last time. Parents and other family members are invited. We ask that you bring food to share to this party… fruit, veggies/dip, rice crispy bars, jello squares, chip/dip…. anything your dancer would love to share with everyone.

Thanks for Continuing to Cover Jolene and Corals’ Trip with Prayer!
From Jolene’s prayer letter: Thank you so much for prayers. We have a unique opportunity. We’ve been invited to stop in Greece on the way home. There is an Israeli woman there who has water therapy as well as other ways of healing soldiers that come out of Gaza. She said they need to take them out of the land of Israel because there’s a frequency of War and just all of the trauma and stress. They’ve had great success and she’s willing to show us what she does and record a program for Rise & Shine.
Update: Jolene and Coral are currently in Greece and spent two days at the healing retreat center in Lefkada. They were able to share about Yeshua with several Israelis, as well as Polish, Scottish, and Greek people. Recently they took a bus to a town with a smaller airport and are looking for flights home. We praise Jehovah Jireh for providing everything they have needed thus far!! Thank you in advance LORD for supplying whatever finances are needed for a flight back to the USA as well as continued traveling mercies plus divine appointments!
Class is canceled for Thursday, April 25! Cheryl has another commitment that day and Jolene is still in Israel. See below for an update on Jolene and Coral’s trip to Israel. Have a blessed Passover week with your family!!
Thanks for Attending and/or Prayer Covering at the Capitol!
“Don’t be afraid of the enemy! Remember the LORD, who is great and glorious, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes!” Nehemiah 4:14
“We are not fighting against humans. We are fighting against forces and authorities and against rulers of darkness and powers in the spiritual world.” Ephesians 6:12
Thank you to everyone who was able to either come in person or cover in prayer the Call to the Capitols rally on April 13th! The Holy Spirit’s presence was felt and strongholds were broken, including the veil of death over Minnesota being torn!! Hallelujah! It was a powerful time of worship, communion, testimonies, and calls to action. Continue on with worship warfare over Minnesota! Jesus by his victory over sin and death on the cross has given us the victory! Worthy is the Lamb!
Thanks for continued prayer!
Thank you for continued prayers for Jolene and Coral! They arrived in Israel on April 10th and were able to intercede for protection from the barrage from Iran this weekend. They have had some really good encounters with Jewish people in Tiberias who are pre-believers. In Haifa they have mostly had encounters with Arab Christians and other Christians. Pray for wisdom as they ask Holy Spirit about next steps. They have been asked to visit a rabbi, who is friends with Pastor Shine who led the conference in Dubai. The rabbi lives in Jerusalem and there are also opportunities to celebrate the Passover seder in Haifa or Tel Aviv. They are also considering finding a flight to London. (Minnesota friends with LoveTwinCities are doing a LoveIsrael outreach had their American airline flights canceled after the attack by Iran found it possible to get a flight to London.)
“Don’t be afraid of the enemy! Remember the LORD, who is great and glorious, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes!” Nehemiah 4:14
“We are not fighting against humans. We are fighting against forces and authorities and against rulers of darkness and powers in the spiritual world.” Ephesians 6:12
The Call to the Capitol gathering on April 13th is part of a nationwide movement of increased prayer that the Spirit of God is raising up! It is a call to a sacred assembly (Joel 2) and intercession. Please do everything you can to be there! Bring your entire family!
This is going to be a powerful time of worship, prayer, testimonies and will include sharing the gospel, communion, and reformation strategies to protect and strengthen the family as defined by the Word of God.
Pre-event worship begins at 12:30 PM —so come early! Wear pink and blue. There will be dance intercession as part of worship, so feel free to bring pink and/or blue worship tools to use as we come before the LORD!
Thanks for continued prayer!
Thank you for all of your prayers for Jolene and Coral! It has been a wonderful conference and tour they were even able to record a radio program in their new friends home studio. Over the weekend they toured a couple days and had divine encounters along the way. During one encounter Jolene used the one minute witness to share her testimony and the gospel with a young man at Sand Dune Adventure Park. Jolene and Coral were invited to help lead a couple of worship songs in English for a Filipino church on Sunday and also that night at the conference. The glory of God definitely was manifest as they helped usher in His presence at 2 churches. Two women were receiving healing, including one from arthritis
Please continue to cover Jolene and Coral in prayer during the rest of their time in Dubai and anticipated travel to Israel! Thanks so much!!
Possibly No Class 4/25
Depending on Jolene’s availability to lead class on Thursday, April 25, we may or may not meet. We will let you know closer to the date whether or not class is happening.
Let’s get together for fun and watch “The Ten Commandments” movie to help recognize all that Jesus did for us on the cross as we are in Holy Week as well as coming up to Passover. “The Ten Commandments” is a classic that brings to life how Yahweh miraculously delivered the Israelites from Egypt, including crossing through the Red Sea to go to Mt. Sinai on the way to the Promised Land. It also depicts the prophetic act of putting the blood of a lamb over their homes, so they were saved from death that first Passover. Jesus’ blood saves us from sin and death today by his death and Resurrection.
Join us this Saturday, 3/30, from 2-5pm at Brian and Cheryl Johnson’s home. Bring a snack to share! Some possibilities are popcorn, pizza, or food that is common in Israel then bring hummus, pita breads, or some vegetables.
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:7
Freedom To Dance wishes everyone a blessed Holy Week and a Happy Resurrection Day! We pray that everyone remembers Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross on Good Friday and how His blood cleanses us from all sin. Jesus set us free from death so we may walk in the light and live eternally with the LORD when we make Jesus the Lord of our lives by accepting the gift of salvation that was given that day! Thank you for being our Passover Lamb, Jesus, and Father God for sending your only begotten son!!
Please Cover Jolene and Coral in Prayer!
From Jolene:
“This is a new year, a new day, God is opening new doors in 2024. A Pastor friend of mine invited me to come to Dubai and speak at a conference plus tour and do any God assignments. Great and Mighty is He who called us and we know He is saving many people from Many Nations and raising up new leaders for this hour. He brought me to the scripture ‘You have permission to speak…’ Isaiah 26:1. He is calling people of every tribe, nation, people group and all who call on Him, will be saved, healed and delivered. We ask for A GREAT Awakening and Outpouring of the Holy Spirit” in Dubai and Israel! Praise the LORD for airline tickets to Dubai on April 3rd and then to Israel!!
Prayer Points:
Peace in the Middle East and Jerusalem
Divine encounters during the trip as well as supernatural restorative rest
Flight back home to the USA
Finances to cover all flights and land fees
For Pastor Shine from India who is coordinating the conference

Thank you to Kandace, who listened to Holy Spirit and joined us last minute. Thank you LORD for that surprise! We also greatly appreciate Rich Marek of Sonrise Productions for taking creative video footage and editing it into the dance intercession video. Thanks again for giving of your time and talents to honor the LORD and to bless Israel!
