Messianic Dance Camps International

In 1989, during a Shabbat service, I experienced my only open vision:

I saw myself standing at a pulpit saying to other non-Jewish believers, "If you have received spiritual dividends from the Jewish people, you owe a material debt to the believers in Israel." I came out of this vision to soon discover these were almost the exact words of the Apostle Paul in Romans 15.

Scripture is clear that The Lord blesses those who bless Israel. Because I have been so profoundly blessed by the Jewish people through my wife, my Messiah, and the Word of God that I feel a deep calling to honor that principle.

For some time, we struggled to get to Israel. The doors only flew open once we shifted our focus to supporting the "living stones," the local believers in the Land. Since then, we have returned ten times to lead tours and build relationships.

I’ve realized that satisfying this debt is more than a duty; for a non-Jew, it has become my true attachment to the Land.

If your heart stirs to be a blessing, I invite you to join us. You have the chance to support the Israeli believers attending our Pepperdine event this month, or you may choose another way to contribute to the lives of believers in Israel.

By providing material support, you help honor this debt and actively participate in God's continuing story with Israel.

Blessings to you as you bring blessing to Israel,

Israel Ministry Vision 
It is a good thing to bring to mind the mission that one has from time to time, and to recall just what it is we are living for. 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: 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. 

We understand through Scripture the importance of having the Believers dwelling in the land. We find in Romans 9:27-29: 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, “If the Lord of hosts had not left us offspring, we would have been like Sodom and become like Gomorrah.” 

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.  
Thank you,  
Ralph and Mindy Seta

Messianic Dance Camps International - Israel 2/23 tour - Support Believers in Israel

Hello and shalom!

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. "Aliyah ~ To Welcome the Holiness of Israel" is a beautiful project with music from the young, Israeli group called Miqedim (translated: From the East). Thank you for your support.

Their music is based on Scriptures from the Tanakh. The graphic on the front cover was created by Karin Foreman and is a wonderful landscape rendering of the Golan Heights in Israel. Please check out her website if you are interested, she has created many Judaica pieces at: KarinForeman.com. 

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.

Please enjoy, and I am also available to teach dance at your events if there is interest.

Thank you so much,

Mindy Fisher-Seta

I have experienced something which I hadn't before. I don't believe I'm alone in experiencing a sense of unity that perhaps wasn't available to us previously.

A Special Thank You 

We are always grateful for you. We consider you to be the Princes and Princesses of His People! 

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.

Hello and Shalom, 

On Sunday afternoon, August 26th, we had our first live Patreon dance camp. (You can help support this effort at https://www.patreon.com/messianicdancecamps.) Consider joining us live for our next dance camp time.

You can become a Patron and receive new dances as benefits, all the while helping us with this powerful message of worship through dance!

We will periodically post dances there as well from our resource catalog of over one-hundred-eighty (and growing) different dances.

We hope that you will enjoy, and consider becoming a Patron.

Blessings and love to you,

Ralph and Mindy Seta
P.S. All virtual dance camps are accessible for reviewing afterwards 

     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 ______. 
     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.   
     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. 
     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! 
   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.  

Love and Blessings to You,

Dear Ministry Supporter and Worshiper, 

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) 

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. 

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. 

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. 

If you would like to partner with M.D.C.I. this year with your financial support, we are believing for a good harvest. Your donating will enable us to pursue what Yeshua is calling us to do. Over the past decade we have been privileged to minister in six countries, and to over seven hundred congregations and fellowships. Please let us know if you would like to help us in His field. We are full-time ministers and have begun to work part-time as substitute teachers in the school district. 
  
Our ministry has created worship dance curriculum for fifteen years, and our latest series called “Aliyah~Rise Up!” [of which there are three projects] is meant to bring awareness to these musician/saints/ministers in the land of Israel, who need our love, support and encouragement. We have produced twenty instructional curricula in total (two-disk sets) that we are currently offering at half price for the entire collection at our store. 
  
Thank you for your consideration, and many blessings to you, 
Ralph Seta, for:
