Taking time to reassess the ministry that Yeshua has given keeps our focus and even renews our sense of vision and vitality. A main point of this ministry over the years has been the Believers living in Israel - to raise awareness of the needs that our brothers and sisters have living in the land. We want to see them encouraged in their ministries and we want to help them financially to accomplish what Yeshua has given to them. The inspiration for us comes from the Scriptures in Romans where the Apostle Paul was speaking about the special gift which the Gentiles gave in verses 25 through 27: <em><strong>At present, however, I am going to Jerusalem bringing aid to the saints. For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem. For they were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have come to share in their spiritual blessings, they ought also to be of service to them in material blessings. </strong></em></p>
<p>We understand through Scripture the importance of having the Believers dwelling in the land. We find in Romans 9:27-29: <em>And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will be saved, for the Lord will carry out his sentence upon the earth fully and without delay.” And as Isaiah predicted, <strong>“If the Lord of hosts had not left us offspring, we would have been like Sodom and become like Gomorrah.” </strong></em></p>
<p>Our ministry has been called to go to Israel in February for a specific purpose “for a time such as this,” to pray Healing throughout the land. Yeshua has assembled a mighty army from our group, and we have been praying daily for His directives. Some have been there before (several of them with us), and for others it will be their first time. Yet, each has been called to minister healing to His people in the land. We are asking for you to strategically partner with us in praying for this mission, and if you are led, a financial donation to give to the Saints that we will be meeting with. One hundred percent of all proceeds will go directly to the Believers living in Israel. <br>Thank you, <br>Ralph and Mindy Seta<br>(View limited special offer here)<br><a contents="Messianic Dance Camps International - Israel 2/23 tour - Support Believers in Israel" data-link-label="Israel 2/23 tour - Support Believers in Israel" data-link-type="page" href="/israel-2-23-tour-support-believers-in-israel" target="_blank">Messianic Dance Camps International - Israel 2/23 tour - Support Believers in Israel</a></p>Messianic Dance Camps Internationaltag:messianicdancecamps.com,2005:Post/65093932020-12-28T20:55:40-08:002022-12-29T22:33:33-08:00Mindy Fisher-Seta<p><span class="font_large">Hello and shalom!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">My name is Mindy Fisher-Seta, and my husband is Ralph Seta. We have produced this Israeli dance project for the Israeli and Messianic communities. Please consider joining us with your support, to send this worship dance project to the Israeli communities around the world. <em>"Aliyah ~ To Welcome the Holiness of Israel"</em> is a beautiful project with music from the young, Israeli group called Miqedim (translated: From the East). <a contents="Thank you for your support." data-link-label='New "Aliyah"' data-link-type="page" href="/new-aliyah" target="_blank">Thank you for your support.</a></span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">My background is in Israeli Folk dance and the downloads include Israeli style dances that are meant to facilitate healing for the dancer. I am a doctoral student at Liberty University. My graduate studies are in Community Care and Counseling with a cognate in Traumatology and Community Dance. I am planning to do my dissertation on the effects of terror attacks and traumatic symptoms/PTSD for people living in Israel. Amazingly, many individuals there participate in Israeli dancing on a regular basis; I want to conduct a study to see if the level of trauma symptoms due to blatant anti-Semitism, are different for those who are involved in dance and spirituality.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Please enjoy, and I am also available to teach dance at your events if there is interest.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font_large">At this special time of giving thanks, it reminds us of the time in the Gospel of Luke when Yeshua entering a village was met by ten lepers. They lifted up their voices, saying, "Yeshua, Master, have mercy on us." He told them to show themselves to the priests ~ and as they went they were cleansed. However, one of them, after noticing he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice. <br><a contents="[read more here]" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://mailchi.mp/d61649fcc7e4/thanking-yeshua-for-you" target="_blank">[read more here]</a></span></p>Messianic Dance Camps Internationaltag:messianicdancecamps.com,2005:Post/54052582018-08-28T14:43:33-07:002021-06-04T06:41:21-07:00Our First Cyber Dance Camp A Success!<p><span class="font_large">Hello and Shalom, </span></p>

<p><span class="font_large"> One thing that is becoming clearer, is that within the Body of Messiah there is a lack of love. Yeshua said that the two most important commandants are to love God and to love our neighbor as ourself. Who is our neighbor? Even one such as a ______. <br> Being Messianic has its challenges, and ever since Mindy became a Believer, she has had to endure persecutions from other Jews in mainstream Judaism because she believes in Yeshua. Yet, to see Believers persecuting Believers - are we not supposed to be above that? We thought this ministry to be one that could be a tie that binds; and it has been to some degree. It is discouraging though, to see brothers in the Lord behaving wrongly. <br> Throughout this season of horrific disasters, there have been many stories of "Good Samaritans" who have put their lives on the line to save another. We are grateful for these loving people, but wonder how we would feel if someone that we did not like wanted to save us? Would we tell them to go away until someone we thought was worthy would come? It does seem crazy, but not unrealistic, unfortunately, within the family of Believers. We are currently grieving because of these divisions, which have made this ministry to suffer. We are feeling frustrated and perplexed, but not we are not in despair. <br> Paul not only exhorts us to love, but also says in essence that without love even the most extraordinary ministry is destitute. A part of what we do at Messianic Dance Camps International is to contact leaders and schedule dance camps, so that we can minister with worship through dance. It is so powerful to see the Lord touch people in a deep way, and affect those needing the Waters of His Spirit to flow over them. Not only have we seen people feel better physically, being supernaturally healed; but we have also seen them find relief from PTSD and depression. They all experienced the Love of God. We have been to congregations who had not danced as a part of their worship; however, since our visit have incorporated the dance. We are well aware of those who have not yet experienced this form of elation, not having the understanding of its power. It is wonderful to explain how Yeshua really enjoys dancing with us, and in doing so He inhabits the praises of His People Israel! <br> Yesterday, while we were making calls, we came across a Messianic leader who was not very nice. His demeanor indicated that he felt dance was valueless and that our ministry was of no profit to the Jewish people. Mindy is Jewish; and, in fact, the type of dance that we minister through is Israeli dance set to contemporary Messianic music. He was indignant toward the reply and the call ended. It brought to mind a recent discussion we had on Shabbat about being created in the Image of God. What does it mean to be created in the image and likeness of God? Does God therefore have two legs, two eyes, and ears? Perhaps. The Scripture that comes to mind is 1 John 4:8 which tells us that "The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love." Now we are not saying that the man yesterday does not love. Nor are we saying that he does not love God, but the more you know Yeshua intimately (by dancing with Him for example), the more you are able to love God and your neighbor as well. Because love is who He is, and that is His likeness, we think that you can be formed into the image and likeness of our Messiah Yeshua by loving God and loving your neighbor. Or, you can be formed into the image and likeness of haSatan, and continue hating God and your neighbor. The latter we will try avoiding at all times and by all means. </span></p>

<p>Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’ Matthew 25:37-40 (ESV) </p>
<p>Yeshua has been showing us the importance of ministering to each one that He sets before us. Sometimes we can be choosy to whom we would like to minister; however, these are not (in some instances) the ones ready for His Blessing. Yeshua has put Mindy and myself together first to minister unto Him and to one another. He has formed this union as an example of the One New Man - Jew and Gentile together in Him - to draw these brothers and sisters of Yeshua back to Himself by every means. I have fallen in love with the Scripture from 2 Samuel 14:14b: "But God will not take away life, and He devises means so that the banished one will not remain an outcast." I believe these "means" which He devises, deliver us from every type of death we face. He also uses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, and that which is weak He uses to shame the strong. Mindy and I sometimes feel both foolish and weak; however, we understand that by being a worker in His field, we are neither. We have begun to see "ten from the nations" take hold of the garment of a Jew, and say; "Let us go with you, for I know God is with you!" This is both humbling for us, and so very lovely. This is how a child must enter into His Holy Presence - and we are able to receive them in a loving, brotherly way - knowing we are receiving Yeshua Himself. </p>
<p>Yeshua said "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength," and "You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.” The scribe who asked Yeshua about the greatest commandment went on to answer Him correctly, and He told him that he was very close to the Kingdom. We desire to be close to His Kingdom, and to care for all those coming in; not being a hindrance in any way - but only to love - as one child of God to another. So let us pray the Lord of the harvest sends out laborers into His harvest. </p>
<p>Yeshua has put in my heart to produce live feeds and archived shows from our home base to minister over the internet as well. We desire for this "set" and transmission to look as professional as possible. Mindy would continue teaching dance - both new dances and some dances we never get much opportunity to teach - from almost two hundred dances choreographed we have produced. We want it to be an outreach, as have some of our YouTube posts been, which we now have archived on our website. We were in Crown Heights not too long ago, which is a heavily populated Jewish section of New York city. We were recognized by a lady there who had been touched by our ministry of Messianic dance. So, we really won't know how Yeshua wants to use our good works perhaps until the Kingdom. </p>

<p>Dear Ministry Supporter and Worshiper, </p>
<p>I would like to let you know that your good prayers and financial support have been put to work with ministry and outreach this month. At the beginning of the month I shared with you our vision of revival and the revelation of the One New Man, which the New Covenant Scriptures speak of. We have been waiting on Yeshua to see how we should proceed with the vision that He has given to us, and to go into the churches with this message. This month the door has opened for us to speak at a church locally about our ministry, and the four of us also shared a dance. We are beginning to disciple a group who are interested in knowing more about Yeshua (including a pastor), by having shared the weekly reading(s) this past Shabbat at a Bible study. Thank you for praying for wisdom as we continue this meeting here locally. Also, we were blessed to share on Wednesday at a pastor's breakfast with about eighteen local pastors concerning the ministry, and the four of us presented a dance there as well. The lead pastor for this breakfast meeting invited us to come teach at his church on the 5th. Another opportunity has opened for us on the 11th at a Calvary church nearby. Halleluyah! </p>
<p>As many of you know, we are a One New Man ministry. The New Covenant or, New Testament does not communicate importance on genealogy in its quest for unity. We have all been grafted, or re-grafted, into the Olive Tree of Israel. A wise man and close friend once told me that anyone claiming to be Jewish is Jewish. What I took away from what he said is that if a person is willing to die with the Jewish people, then that should be proof enough. We believe that Israel has been given its Constitution, or Commandments, for those who consider themselves to be a part of this fruitful tree, which we are to tend with Love from On High. For example, someone from the Shabbat group felt comfortable to use a particular name for 'LORD' while reading. I believe Yeshua was pleased for me to interject that each one should use the name for God he or she feels most comfortable with in turn. I think by doing this, and excepting each other in Love this way that Yeshua was honored and happy. I have heard cultic teachers who say that if you do not pronounce His Name a certain way, that you will go to Hell. I do not see that it is our place to judge others this way. Each one of us is unique in that place of maturation; we all are being led by His Spirit. </p>
<p>I agree with the Psalmist that deep calls to deep at the roar of His waterfalls; as DNA and His Voice are both deep. And the sheep follow him, because they have known his voice. I believe there is a Spiritual awakening happening. People need to see their connectivity with Israel, and the importance of blessing believers there for His outpouring, and for the revelation of The One New Man in Service and Honor.<br><br>~~~~~~~~ </p>

Mindy and I started our lives together, and ministry, in Southern California, and we have many long time friends there as well. It was a very supportive time of dance and fellowship, which we needed a lot. We drove in to California under the cover of night, and at times turbulent rains which mirrored our spiritual temperament. Our ministry is going through transitional phases and growth, and sometimes we go through change unknowing of our surrounding, which can become spiritually life-draining. Although we have been to California many times, we were uncertain of our immediate circumstance, which mirrored our life-experience at the time. However, we made it to our hotel for the evening and rested; it was Shabbat! </span></p>
<p><span class="font_regular">Mindy and I built ourselves up in our most holy faith within the context of the Messianic Jewish movement; myself not being Jewish, however, remaining in the movement for the last twenty-nine years. We very much enjoyed being at Beth Shalom in Corona for Shabbat Services. The Order of Service, along with the Torah reading, was awesome; it so ministered to us. Afterwards, we had a magnificent dance camp in the afternoon with many long-time friends and new acquaintances who were in attendance. It too was awesome! We then drove two hours to Lancaster for an evening dance camp at Oasis Life Center. They are a nondenominational church that is turning back to their Christian Roots, They were once a Sunday meeting congregation and began meeting on Saturdays some time ago, and teach from a Hebraic perspective. We had a wonderful time of food, dancing, and fellowship that continued the next morning after breakfast with a visit from a lovely family, who came to the hotel with games. Our children had a fellowship time together and we had the opportunity to minister one to another. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_regular">The key to being a Disciple of Yeshua, is the love we have for one another. It is not only foundational, but all encapsulating. The Word is clear of the importance that love toward one another is for salvation purposes. We are experiencing the politicization of our most holy faith. I believe that we, as believers, are to surely be involved in the political process, and if that is the direction that Yeshua leads, we must be faithful to that calling. However, as believers, we must come together and support and encourage one another because it is so needed. Especially to connect ourselves with our brothers and sisters in Eretz Israel, and start blessings Israel in this way. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_regular">It is disturbing to me to see the disconnect in the Body of Messiah. Many times we have had the opportunity to confront subliminal anti-Semitism, which is played out through incorrect instruction. For example, one of the topics that is prevalent in some circles is that the Magen David (Shield, or "Star" of David) is a pagan symbol. This not only comes across as anti-Semitic, but it's the same tactic the enemy has used to divide the nations against Israel. This should not be able to divide His Body, and hopefully through the maturation process, and His Word, we will be able to overcome together as the One New Man, which Scripture speaks of. </span></p>Messianic Dance Camps Internationaltag:messianicdancecamps.com,2005:Post/45368992017-01-04T10:23:52-08:002018-08-17T08:17:53-07:00Thank You for Your Prayers and Financial Support!<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#FAEBD7;"><span class="font_large">A Letter From Messianic Dance Camps International</span></span></div><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/156054/0a75675de9648190089606e2c206798c6a039356/medium/cool-pic.jpg?1471349490" class="size_m justify_center border_" /><p>Dear Ministry Supporter, </p>
<p>Our family went on-the-road traveling and have taught worship through Messianic Israeli folk dance to over seven hundred different congregations in the past eight years, many of which we have returned to several times. Your show of support through prayer, as well the purchase of our curricula, and financial support through donation helped our ministry! We have experienced open doors, and these doors have opened our eyes to many signs and wonders, which include emotional and spiritual healings, and miracles of spontaneous physical healings, which have included the deaf hearing, other healings, and Satanic deliverance, which is just the beginning of what has happened. <br> <br>Our ministry is a One New Man ministry on many levels; Mindy is Jewish, and I grew up in an Italian home as a Roman Catholic. I had an open vision while sitting in services one day, and I saw myself at a pulpit speaking to fellow gentiles. I was preaching and saying that “if you had received spiritual dividends from the Jewish people that you have a material debt to the believers living in Israel.” I came at once out of my open vision, and immediately thought to myself that this must be in the Bible somewhere. It did not take me long to find where the Apostle Paul, in Romans 15:25-27, was taking a collection from the Macedonians, saying that “if the Gentiles have come to share in their (Jewish people) spiritual blessings, they ought also to be of service to them in material blessings” <br> Full verse(s) in ISV ~ Romans 15:25-27 <br>Right now, however, I’m going to Jerusalem to minister to the saints, because the believers in Macedonia and Achaia (regions of Greece) have been eager to share their resources with the poor among the saints in Jerusalem. Yes, they were eager to do this, and in fact they are obligated to help them, for if the gentiles have shared in their spiritual blessings, they are obligated to be of service to them in material things. <br> <br>This message of ‘obligation’ has been a constant wherever we go to minister. We have attempted to raise awareness of the need that our brother and sister counterparts in Israel have for our love, support, and encouragement. We have also lead four dance tours to Israel, and each of the evenings after touring we would meet with the believers (the Living Stones) who live and minister in the land. </p>
<p>We believe in the imperativeness of this ‘debt’ being met for the revelatory understanding of the One New Man to be realized; why we are no longer strangers and foreigners but fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household. However, the church at large is impervious to the connection between the Jewish believer living in Israel and the Christian believer who is being brought near. This truth and connectedness will bring awareness to bear; and hopefully bring the issue of the law of reciprocal return to the forefront. We believe that in this particular way we are to be a blessing to Israel. There are good intentions of Christians wanting to help and bless the Jewish people living in Israel. However, some of their funding unfortunately goes to organizations who persecute the believers living there. </p>
<p>We are praying, in a big way, for the open door to enable us to go more into the churches, with the demonstration of Messianic worship through dance, and the message of a debt owing to our Jewish counterparts living in the land. We believe that this understanding and show of good will, could bring about revival here in the United States and abroad. </p>
<p>So, we are asking you to partner with us this coming year with financial help. If you are able to help us with a thousand dollars, or $50 a month, your <a contents="donating" data-link-label="Donate" data-link-type="page" href="/donate" target="_blank">donating</a> will enable us to pursue what Yeshua is calling us to. If you have read thus far, please know that we are counting on you to consider and just ask God what if anything you are to do to help. We are full-time ministers and work very diligently to do all He asks. <br> <br>Our ministry has been creating worship dance curricula for fifteen years, and <a contents="our latest series called “Aliyah~Rise Up!”&nbsp;[which there are three]&nbsp;" data-link-label="Store" data-link-type="page" href="/store" target="_blank">our latest series called “Aliyah~Rise Up!” [which there are three] </a>is meant to bring awareness to these musician/saints/ministers in Israel. ‘Aliyah’ has multiple meanings, and in this context, its meaning is for the One New Man to arise.

We are always asked, about how we do it; traveling like we do, and all the energy it takes. It is exhausting but we also know it is only by the Grace of our Heavenly Father that we are able to do anything. In April we were approached by a friend and her husband, which have a great testimony to try a product that they were taking. Because of their story and being prompted by the Lord, we decided to try it. However, we felt that we should wait and see how we were feeling after a few months before we shared about it. We felt that our touring life would be a great gauge to see if it would be effective. At this time we are very happy to say that this is a marvelous product and we HIGHLY recommend it; because we feel amazing and have good testimony!

<br><span class="font_large">Shalom Worshiper! Please consider coming to Malibu California to celebrate with us this Shavuot! The theme “Worship In Battle” is one that we trust will have greater insight as the celebration progresses. Just as a bride awaits her groom, we are expectant that the Holy Spirit will manifest once again in our midst with His best gifts as we celebrate Yeshua!<br>Our weekend together has become full with many wonderful worship sessions, Davidic Dance workshops, and presentations, on the beautiful Pepperdine Campus. We are thrilled to have Messianic Worship Artists, Deborah Kline and Vince Iantorno, The Lumbrosos, Lev Shelo with Corry Bell, and Jonathan Settel to lead us into the Holy of Holies with song and anointed teachings. For those of us who are gearing for the battle, Coach Ronald Finstuen from Rochester NY will instruct us in Israeli Krav Maga, as well his Pain Scale Wellness program.<br>Our Davidic worship dance classes will include, Israeli Dance taught by Shirley Deedon. We will have instruction in flags and tambourine so that we may prepare a special presentation to welcome the Shabbat. We will have opportunities to learn Messianic Dance from Mindy & Ralph Seta of M.D.C.I. throughout the weekend, also Nicki Tiso, Marianne Wegener and Rabbi Corey Sylvester from Temple Aviv Judea will be instructing in the dance. We will be readying ourselves for what He will be doing in our midst, as we also prepare for our Memorial Day Outreach at Malibu Bluffs Park!<br>Though our weekend is quite full, we do have a little free time to take in the beauty of the surroundings with a walk or run (with a partner would be nice), tennis, or just time to be alone with Yeshua.<br>We are planning for a beautiful Memorial Day Weekend, and may you be blessed as we worship Yeshua through dance together!<br>In His service,<br>Ralph and Mindy Seta <br>Messianic Dance Camps International<br>775.283.8080</span>

We just made it through the holiday of Purim, where we saw the book of Esther unfold right before our eyes. Did you see it? Our Uncle Mordecai, played by Benjamin Netanyahu, stood up for the survival of the Jewish people. Haman was the player whom Mordecai stood up to, who was making secretive deals for their annihilation. We know that Haman was not able to follow through with his plans, bringing his entire line to destruction. The name Benjamin means "Son of my right hand", and Netanyahu "Gift from God." Then there are also signs in the heavens; a solar eclipse tomorrow marks the half-way point in a series of blood moons.<br><br>This is something new, and we believe is of Biblical proportions as well. Passover is in two short weeks, and we were blessed to have been asked to lead a seder (order of service) for a local church of one hundred and fifty people, and our family will be ministering in Davidic Dance as well. We are very exited about this, because we know He is speaking to His People to awaken them. <br><br><em>"May it be a blessed First Day of Months for you and yours, and Happy Early Passover to you!" </em> </span>Messianic Dance Camps Internationaltag:messianicdancecamps.com,2005:Post/35500392015-02-22T21:01:14-08:002018-08-17T08:23:14-07:00Davidic Dancing Through The Land As A Prayer With The Living Stones<span class="font_large">We are so excited because our tour is over half filled, and we are trusting Him to continue to put this Team together as we desire to minister with the Believers and dance through the land! We are only taking one large bus so that our team will remain connected as we tour together through Israel and meet with the "Living Stones". Those who are going have committed to the LORD and received confirmation. If this is you, then you are invited to join us. <a contents="Please click here for info, deposit is due" data-link-label="Israel Sukkot Tour 2015" data-link-type="page" href="/israel-sukkot-tour-2015"><span style="color:#ff99ff;">Please click here for info; deposit is due</span></a>. So far, who we are expected to meet to worship with include the Brekas, Danny Carmiel, the Danielis, Michael Eliyahu Ben David, Ellah Gorelik, the Hyde family, Doran Keidar, the Slater family, and the Whittens.

Not only do we remember those who have fought to give us the freedoms which we share, but also as worship warriors we desire to follow our Warrior King Yeshua who has given us life. It is believed that Melech David was both born and also died on Shavuot. He is our example and the one we so closely can relate with as we read Scripture. King David is the consummate Worship Warrior, and a man whom The Lord sought out after His Own Heart. It is our prayer for each who attend this event, that we would ready ourselves, mind, body, and spirit, to come into the presence of the one who has sought us out; The Great King and our Messiah Yeshua! Amen and Amen!! <a contents="Memorial Weekend Messianic Dance Retreat" data-link-label="Malibu CA Memorial Day Weekend Pepperdine" data-link-type="page" href="/malibu-ca-memorial-day-weekend-pepperdine">Memorial Weekend Messianic Dance Retreat</a></span>Messianic Dance Camps Internationaltag:messianicdancecamps.com,2005:Post/34757252015-01-20T07:56:48-08:002021-06-04T06:48:29-07:00Married Couples Hebraic Dance Demonstrated <br><span class="font_large">This past weekend we had the honor to dance the <em>Married Couples</em> dance to 'Elohim' by Sue Samuel. Our friends in Las Vegas came together as Husband and Wife in a beautiful ceremony at Lev Hashem Messianic Synagogue. The wonderful couple who were married are very loving, and that made this dance a beautiful representation. We choreographed this dance for a Jewish Voice Ministry event in Phoenix several years ago. Usually we do not do "Couples" dancing, however, our desire is to lift up married couples whenever we can. There is a <a contents="'Dances' page" data-link-label="Dances" data-link-type="page" href="/dances">'Dances' page</a> on this site which demonstrates this dance in its entirety. We hope you enjoy as you worship Him through Davidic Dancing!! [Picture by: Kristen Arbour] </span>

We are very happy with how this new DVD turned out. Francy did a wonderful job bringing this instructional teaching, along with the incorporation of tambourine in a choreographed dance.<br>We thought it was powerful because most of us do not know what the Scriptures say regarding the Tambourine. We now understand why the enemy does not want this information out, or worshipers of the Most High to incorporate the use of this ordained instrument. Children and adults of all ages love the tambourine, how much more effective will it be with the understanding.

They have just purchased their very own synagogue located in Fullerton, California! Our first time going to TAJ was for their 30th anniversary celebration, with a dance camp and concert event with Jonathan Settel in Orange County. Rabbi Corey Sylvester just happens to be the cousin of Jonathan Settel, and because we had been recently ministering together with Mr. Settel, we had one of our first Davidic dance camps and concert events for TAJ's 30th. We were able to bring Messianic worship through dance to this established congregation in a greater way, and have been invited back every year since for a dance camp event. This Shabbat (January 10th) we are so happy to return once more for an afternoon <em>'Worship In Battle' Dance Camp </em>tour. Just after ministering the very first time with TAJ, we as a family went on an extensive touring adventure, ministering worship through Davidic dance to over six hundred different congregations in the U.S. and abroad. We look forward to spending Shabbat with our dear friends Rabbi Corey and Hilary this weekend. Many blessings to you all!!

<span class="font_large">If you have followed our ministry for any length of time you know our affinity with the man, the musical artist, Ted Pearce. We have been blessed to minister with this man of God, also known as the "Hardest Working Messianic Artist", for the past number of years. The first time M.D.C.I. danced with Ted Pearce was at the Holy Land Experience in 2003. It is always a glorious time for us when we have an opportunity to minister together with him. Currently Ted is in Israel leading worship for the Jewish Voice tour. Ted is no stranger to Europe either, as he is the founder, and has lead many </span><span class="font_large" style="margin: 0px;">March of Life & March of Remembrance campaigns throughout the world.</span><span class="font_large"> In Germany Ted is an ordained pastor, and would rather be addressed as 'German Shepherd'. But seriously, his music speaks for itself. One new song, "Who Has Ascended", in our estimation, has become the crowning Davidic dance of the new <a contents="Worship In Battle #3" data-link-label="Dance Store" data-link-type="page" href="/dance-store" target="_blank">Worship In Battle #3</a> dance project.</span>

One of the big Messianic Artists, <em><strong>Lev Shelo with Corry Bell,</strong></em> had already so graciously allowed us to use their newest songs on two previous DVD sets, so I knew I could not ask them again. However, I felt a prompting from the LORD to contact Corry to see if they had anything new ready. To our surprise - and I think to hers as well, she said they were working on something new called, <em><strong>Or Chadash </strong></em>which would be perfect for Hanukkah! The translation means: <em>"Let a new light shine over Zion. May we all be worthy of its light soon. Blessed are you, Adonai, who forms the heavenly lights."</em><br>The problem was however, that is was not ready yet - but maybe it could be....<br>She got back to us shortly with an unfinished track. When Ralph and I heard it (though unfinished) we almost fell over because it was so powerful! We thank Yeshua for their ministry, and conveyed to her how blessed we would be to choreograph a Davidic dance to <em><strong>Or Chadash</strong></em> and use it on the new project! We thought it would be perfect for the opening track.<br>The amazing news is they finished it this week and we will be using it tomorrow as we tape our new project!!<br>Bless His Name!!</span>Messianic Dance Camps Internationaltag:messianicdancecamps.com,2005:Post/33754302014-12-08T15:49:59-08:002020-12-22T02:16:15-08:00The story behind the song: "In The Lovin' Arms"<em>This is a testimony from Carolyn Hyde of how one of the new songs came about. We are featuring this as one of the selected songs on our Worship In Battle #3 project. Enjoy!</em><br><br>The story behind <strong><em>"In The Lovin' Arms":</em></strong> <br><br>My parents, Arthur and Lillian Margolin (of blessed memory) rejected me for being a believer in Yeshua many years ago but my Mom always tried to bring me back to what she called "real Judaism", as I was raised in an Orthodox synagogue. My Dad always cursed me and cursed Yeshua - he was really angry with me for years. So when my Mom passed away, it was very difficult for me. <br> <br>According to Jewish tradition, the unveiling of the headstone a year after the funeral is just as important as the funeral. So when a year and a month passed after her funeral, I got up the nerve to call my Dad to ask when would the unveiling be. He said they already did it - but no one even told me so I was devastated. A few days later while walking on Mount Carmel, I yelled at G-d and asked Him, "Why didn't you take my Dad first!?"<br> <br>Suddenly I saw what looked like a pure white sheet rise up in the air and it looked like it was dancing - it had a rhythm and went in and out of space! Then the L-rd spoke to my heart and said, "She dances with me now!" WOW! Then I had to repent for saying that about my Dad...<br> <br>Years later with barely any communication with my Dad during that time, one night I had a dream. In the dream, I saw my Dad in the retirement home where he lived. He was sitting next to a lady named Bethany and he saw her pass away and angels came and took her away. Then my Dad knew that he was next, but the ones he saw coming to get him were definitely NOT angels! The angels who had taken Bethany to Heaven returned and were standing on a nearby hill. So my Dad looked at the approaching demons and then called out to the angels and said, "Wait, I want to go with you instead!"<br> <br>But the angels said, "You can't because you didn't receive the G-d of Israel!"<br> <br>Then I awoke and the L-rd told me to call my Dad right away. I really didn't want to get cursed again and cry as usual...<br> <br>But I obeyed and called my Dad and for the first time in I don't know how many years, we had a pleasant conversation. No cursing, even when I spoke about G-d. And my Dad even said, "I love you" - I hadn't heard him say that to me in years! So it was an incredible time of reconciliation, praise G-d!<br> <br>The next day my brother who lives next to Dad called and said he's gone.<br>He had a mild headache that evening and Mike took Dad home. That's when I called him. After that, he went to sleep and had a massive stroke.<br> <br>I came out to Dad's funeral to sit shiva of course and as I was on the airplane to return home to Israel, I asked the L-rd, "Did he know You? I have to know!"<br> <br>Immediately the L-rd gave me the song "In the Lovin' Arms of the L-rd"!<br>G-d is so good! I praise Him for giving me such a beautiful reconciliation with my Dad. And I believe that both my parents had bedside experiences with the L-rd before they passed away. <br> <br>You can feel free to share this story as you teach the dance, if you like...<br>Much love to you,<br>Carolyn<br> <br><strong><a href="http://www.heartofg-d.org/" target="_blank">www.heartofg-d.org</a></strong><br><u><a href="mailto:hydefamilyisrael@gmail.com" target="_blank"><em>hydefamilyisrael@gmail.com</em></a></u><br><br><span style="color: rgb(255, 64, 64); font-size: 18px; line-height: 25.5599994659424px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span>Messianic Dance Camps Internationaltag:messianicdancecamps.com,2005:Post/33617582014-12-04T16:36:02-08:002015-08-31T09:39:36-07:00New Messianic Dance Project<span class="font_large">We are currently in production with the third in the Worship In Battle series. <em><strong>Worship In Battle #3</strong></em> has ten Davidic dances on DVD; beginning, intermediate, and advanced level dances are demonstrated with the selected music.
