Haley
“After church, a woman came forward with tears in her eyes. She had just accepted Jesus during the service and told us her 25-year-old son had committed suicide three months earlier. Her husband did not believe in anything, but she was clinging to Jesus in her grief. Brooke and I prayed with her for the comfort and presence of the Holy Spirit to fill her life. That day she walked in new hope, embraced by her new church family.”
Avignon – Muslim Mothers and Daughters
“Every night in Avignon, Muslim mothers brought their daughters to watch us. Over the week we built friendship, talking about family and faith. By the last night they were singing our worship songs with us and they gladly took Bibles home.”
Avignon – Young Actor Asking About Life
“During our first night in Avignon, a young man approached me after we danced. He said, ‘When you dance you radiate with life. What is this life?’ I told him that this new life comes from Jesus’ sacrifice and resurrection. As an actor, he valued the arts deeply, and he said no other art form had ever made him feel this way. He left curious and said, ‘This is real. I will go home and pray.’”
Avignon – Little Girls on the Street
“I taught a mini ballet class to two little girls, ages five and seven. They were completely enthralled and kept asking questions. When I told them how deeply loved and beautifully created they were, they giggled, told each other they were beautiful, then teared up and hugged me. It was a sweet moment of God’s love being poured into them.”
Belgium – Australian Woman’s Answered Prayer
“In Belgium, an Australian woman began worshiping with us as we danced. She told me that earlier that morning she had prayed for God to reveal Himself in the city. As she walked the streets, she heard our worship and said it was a beautiful answer to her prayer. We rejoiced together in God’s goodness.
Cambria
Avignon – Catherine and Catherine, Divine Appointment
“Two women we met in Avignon told us they practiced their own spirituality. We prayed they would know God’s love and worth. Later they watched us dance and returned in tears, saying they felt the Lord reaching for their hearts, that it was a divine appointment. We hugged, prayed, and gave them literature to take with them as a reminder of God’s love.”
Avignon – Woman Baptized but Struggling
“At Les Sources a woman who was visiting the church came up for prayer. She had been baptized two years ago but said she struggled to surround herself with good people and to feel close to the Lord. I encouraged her that just by coming forward she was showing her desire for God and that He was already speaking to her. We prayed together and she was touched by God’s nearness.”
Rotterdam – Girl from Asia Traveling
“We met a girl from Asia traveling through Europe. She said she believed in science and wasn’t sure about faith, but she was open to prayer. She asked how to do it ‘right,’ and I got to bless her and share how loved she is by God. She was very touched by the experience.”
Hannah
“In Avignon, I met a Middle Eastern woman who seemed really enthralled by the dances. I tried to talk with her but she only spoke Farsi and a tiny bit of French. So I grabbed a translator from the church. The woman told us a bit about herself and her family and, we told her why we were there and that God loved her. She didn't seem to understand most of what we were saying. I grabbed my phone and tried to use Google Translate, but she told us she did not go to school so she could not read Farsi. Even still, she wanted to know what we were saying so she pulled out her phone to record a message from us that she would get translated when she went home. We prayed that when she was finally able to understand the message, God would bless her through it.”
Avignon – Theatre Student in Surrender
“On the last night of outreach, I spoke to a theatre student who admired our passion and asked where it came from. I shared how we dance out of gratitude to God. He admitted he had explored spiritualism and reiki but was deeply moved, saying the message of the night was clear: surrender to God. We prayed with him, and he was very thankful. Sharing my personal testimony with him was a first for me in that kind of setting. It stretched me and reminded me that God gives us courage and uses our stories to reach people right where they are.”
Avignon – Manuela, Prayer for Family Unity
“I met a Christian woman named Manuela who was thankful we were in her city. She asked for prayer for unity in her family and for her 60th birthday to be an opportunity to share Christ with her friends. We prayed together and she left encouraged.”
EmmaLeah
“One night in Avignon, we met Annie, a dancer traveling alone from Germany. She was curious how dance could be worship instead of performance. I explained that our dancing was simply to honor God, not ourselves. She left encouraged and connected with another German believer from our team.”
Avignon – Turkish Family
“I spoke with a Turkish family who said our dancing brought peace but they did not understand why. The father showed me a video of their traditional dances, which opened a connection to share why we dance for God. I was able to talk with them for a while and prayed for their family. I'm grateful for this opportunity to plant seeds of hope in their lives.”
Avignon – Two Women Singing Along
“On the last night of outreach, I met two women who sang along with our songs. One was connected to the church, the other was a new believer. Both wanted to live boldly for God but were afraid to share their faith. I prayed with them, encouraging them to trust God to lead their conversations.”
Brooke
“In Dordrecht we met two women who had just moved from Ukraine and were struggling. We prayed with them and connected them with a local Christian outreach ministry where they could find rest and support. As we walked away, I looked back and saw them smiling. God was giving them peace.”
Avignon – Couple from the Netherlands
“On our first night in Avignon I met a couple from the Netherlands who had biked all the way there. They weren’t believers, but they found the worship beautiful with it touching them deeply and they wanted to know if we would dance again. I believe God used our worship to begin drawing them to Himself.”
Avignon – Praying with the Woman Who Lost Her Son
“At Les Sources church I prayed with a woman who had just lost her son. She had just accepted Jesus during the service! Haley and I were able to pray with her together. We asked God to fill her with His Spirit, surround her with community, and comfort her in her grief. She was introduced to the church leaders who will continue walking with her in faith and healing.”
