During the last couple days of our Midwest tour we performed at three nursing homes in Wichita and a church in Benton, KS. While at the Benton Church both Amy and Erin had the opportunity to share their testimonies with the audience members. One of the things that we spoke on was God’s faithfulness (and His sense of humor). Over and over He has shown us what an awesome God He is, providing for Ballet Emmanuel as a company as well as each dancer individually. It also seems that His sense of humor never fails to slip in, taking His people in unexpected directions.
We had wonderful and busy days while on tour –so much fun!! Although I must admit that by the time we finished our last performance on Wednesday night we were really looking forward to wearing “normal” clothing – i.e. no leotard or tights.
We arrived back in Colorado Springs on Thursday evening. A little weary of driving and quite excited to sleep in our own beds after three weeks of being on the road.
We feel very privileged to have been able to meet and minister to so many people in Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and Kansas. Dancers, audience members, pastors, studio owners, nursing home residents and workers… so many wonderful people. It is such an amazing thing to be able to use the gifts that God has given us to reach out to and encourage people in the name of Jesus!
Thank you for all your prayers!
