“They hurried to the village and found Mary and Joseph. And there was the baby, lying in the manger.After seeing him, the shepherds told everyone what had happened and what the angel had said to them about this child.The shepherds went back to their flocks, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen. It was just as the angel had told them.” Luke 2:16-17, 20
Thank you to each one for either ministering or covering us in prayer during the Ugly Christmas Sweater Showcase this past Sunday at Lighthouse Church! We also appreciate Brian helping lead worship and Rich taking videos and pictures! Many said they were blessed and sensed the Joy of the LORD as we ministered. Seeing multiple generations worshipping together was impactful!
Thank you also for your prayers for Jolene and Coral’s trip to Love Dallas! They returned safely and in time to join the team on the 17th. The LORD touched many hearts during their trip through words of encouragement, prayer, Christmas caroling, and taking care of physical needs. Glory to God for provision, protection, and changed hearts!!

Pray for Mareks Travel to Texas
Please intercede for Jolene and Coral Marek this weekas they are in Texas (they drove down this past weekend) doing outreach Dec. 10-13 with Love Dallas and whatever else the LORD leads them to do before returning to Minnesota for this weekend. Prayers needed for:
Believing God for provision all the way down and back.
Trusting Him for Governmental power and angels released in our border states and over the Capitals…”Lift up your heads, O gates, And be lifted up, O ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in!” (Psalm 24:7) ALL FOR YOUR GLORY!
Believing that hearts be prepared: our hearts and those people we will meet. That the 24/7 prayer room be fueled and fired up by the power of the Holy Spirit and outreaches too.
That Coral and our whole family be impacted and protected by the Holy Spirit! Protect and provide all that is needed, Lord!

Happy Thanksgiving from Freedom To Dance!! At class we gave thanks to the LORD for who He is and what He has done! Specifically that El Shaddai hugs us with His peace and presence when anxious (testimony from a dancer who was spiraling into anxiety then felt God’s peace and presence like a big bear hug), loves us, breaks through and fights for us, supplies forgiveness and grace, blesses us with teachers, is our confidence, and heals shattered hearts and makes the person whole. Then we gave thanks through motion to the song, “Gratitude” sung by Brandon Lake, for how good and great our LORD God is!
May you have a wonderful time with family and friends this Thursday or whenever you gather to celebrate! Plus, may you all find opportunities to tell others how the LORD has blessed you!
We are Grateful for Prayer Covering on Oct. 23rd at Celebrate New Life Ministries!
For we continue to wait for the fulfillment of our hope in the dawning splendor of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus, the Anointed One. Titus 2:13 TPT
Thanks to all of those that covered us in prayer on Oct. 23rd as we bowed in worship before King Jesus! The worship leader, Prophet Wilta, asked Brian to play keys and sing for a sound check. He felt led to have Brian keep playing and singing while he got out his saxophone and joined in worshipping the Anointed One. The dancers also joined in giving praise to our great God. Holy Spirit’s presence was heavy throughout the time of musical worship! Afterwards Apostle R’Gina said that she appreciated Freedom To Dance’s unique ministry to the LORD and she sensed angels coming to join us as we worshipped Him. To You alone belongs all the glory for You are the Alpha and Omega!!
