We started Saturday off with a class for the community of Kuna Nega. Located a stone's throw from the Panama City dump, this community is rich in eager attentiveness, joy, and determination.

Our Uncaged Adventure to Panama was absolutely incredible. Jesus is in the details and it was so evident over the last 10 days. Before we give you a recap, we wanted to thank everyone who helped make this trip possible.

Today and tomorrow we will be visiting a juvenile girls prison. This door opened through our friend, Aimee Gordon. Aimee and her family are missionaries through Sports and Cultural Exchange International. She's a former dancer and also teaches for Ballet Adorad.

The grand finale of this Uncaged Adventure is on Saturday. We're pretty pumped about bringing the dance community together with this collaborative show.

Prayer Point{e}:
(pray as you feel led but here are a few specifics)
  • Stamina for the team. May the joy of the Lord be our strength
  • The girls we interact with at the prison + the Gordon family
  • The show: logistics, cooperation, clear communication, hearts in the audience, Jesus be the center and lifted high.

…"I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness. Again I will build you and you will be rebuilt…Again you will take up your tambourines, and go forth to the dances of the merrymakers…"
~Jeremiah 31:4

hola Panama!

Today we're conducting a workshop hosted by Studio 9!

a few months after we scheduled this workshop, we realized that there is a big dance competition taking place in the city simultaneously. We're hoping this will bring in a lot of students for the workshop.

This week, we'll continue to teach at Ballet Adorad as well as the local pre professionals at Escuela de Danzas Teresa Mann. On Wednesday, we're visiting another orphanage–Malambo–as well as visiting a local youth group. 

 
Prayer Point{e}:
(pray as you feel led but here are a few specifics)
  • continued creativity and bonding among the team
  • the ballet students we interact with. May they discover freedom in the confidence of their identity and experience the love of Jesus.
  • The people behind the scenes helping make everything happen. Lucyann, Ana Carolina, Bill–to name a few. 
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stimulate one another in good deeds…
~Hebrews 10:23,24

And pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known the mystery of the gospel,…that I may speak boldly as I ought to speak. 
~Ephesians 6:19,20
