Kingdom Greetings!

With Equipping the Saints 2010 just around the corner, I wanted to take the opportunity to acquaint you with our conference speakers.  I am excited about the awesome men and women of God that are prepared to impart, instruct, empower and equip!
 

	Elder David F. Hollis, Jr. is former Chairman of the International Pentecostal Young People’s Union.  He is heeding the call of a full-time international evangelist, crossing geographical, racial and religious boundaries to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and win many souls for the kingdom of God.  Elder Hollis is member and associate minister of the Logan Park Assembly of Christ in Gary, Indiana, where Suffragan Bishop George Stearnes is his pastor.
	Dr. Ann Higgins is a Co- Pastor of Creative Christian Arts Ministries International. Dr. Ann Peterson-Higgins has been working in the area of the performing Arts for over thirty (30) years.  Dr. Higgins along with her husband Henry, are the co-ordinators of Caribbean Christian Dance Network (CCDN) a conference that draws dancers from around the world together every year. Dr. Higgins has written two books Born to Dance and The Purpose of the Dance.
	Elder Cecilia Beasley is a native of Chicago, Illinois.  She currently serves as the Prayer Director  at Power Change Christian Center located in Cahokia, Illinois under the leadership of Dr.’s Henry and Patricia Phillips.  She has brought structure to the Prayer Ministry and trained many intercessors; covering topics such as Foundational Prayer, The Language of Intercession, The Believer’s Authority, Spiritual Authority, Corporate Prayer and Agreement, and much, much more.  She is pursing her Master’s Degree in Prayer; attending Wagner Leadership Institute located in Colorado Springs, Colorado with instructors C. Peter Wagner, Chuck Pierce, Doris Wagner and Cindy Jacobs.
	Minister Rekesha Pittman has been in training for ministry from her youth. In April 2004, the Lord blessed her to establish Rain Rein Reign Ministries, which focuses on instruction, leadership, and development of worship arts ministries. She serves as Artistic Director of Reign Dance Company of Las Vegas.  Minister Rekesha is the author of Company Keepers: Dance Ministry Daily.
	Tyean Boyd Evangelist Boyd is a member of House of Prayer to All Nations.  She was baptized in the precious name of Jesus and received the gift of the Holy Ghost in Apr 1991.  Shortly after being saved, Sister Boyd accepted her call to the ministry and preached her trial sermon in 1992, titled, “It’s Time to Fight Back.”    Little did she know, the fight was truly on.  This fight was for her spiritual as well as natural life.  It was through this fight she received a passion for the soul of the backslider.  Her battle slogan being, “if he can bring me back, he can do the same for you.”
	In 2006 God gave Patricia Burnett a vision to begin a company for him titled, Anointed Feet Christian Dance Academy of the Arts, (AFCDAA).  Since the inception of AFCDAA God's vision has broadened and will reach all ages and ethnic cultures. It's mission is to empower God's children to build a stronger relationship with Jesus through dance by: 1. Guiding them in their everyday life and 2. Using them to minister to others about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. AFCDAA is known for creating its unique style of dance called "Pantodance", the fusing of their unique styles of Dance & Mime in one choreographed ensemble. We are also known for allowing God to give us a vision for our dance and staying true to the vision.
	Diane Ransom is a part of the Office Staff at Christian Assembly in Columbus, Ohio where Rev. Salvatore (Torry) Gligora serves as Sr. Pastor.  She is founder and Director Emeritus of Messiah's Joy Dance and Banner Troupe and owner of  Fit For The King Sacred Arts Garments. As dance team leader in the '80's, finding appropriate garments for sanctuary worship services was a challenging task. With nowhere to turn, Diane went to the Father who’s answer was "You have the gift's I gave you as a child, now use your skills to glorify me!" Diane is married to Rev. Morris Ransom and has one son and four grandchildren who all reside in Columbus, Ohio.
	Chester Anderson is the artistic director of the Royale School of Ballet. He also serves as ministry leader of Simchat Adonai and dancers of Judah ministries. His desire is to touch the FATHERS heart. He has been in dance ministry for 17 years. He is a trained dancer and is the author of two books.:  All Israel Dances Toward the Tabernacle and The Realm of Worship.
	Regina Culberson (aka Ms. MIME) has participated in the ministry of liturgical arts for over 5 years.  Her style of dance has been perceived as interpretive and dramatic.  It wasn’t until recently her love for the art of Mime developed.  As time progressed her ministry developed into Ms. M.I.M.E which stands for Miming for Inspiration, Motivation and Education. The vision is to administer joy, inspiration, as well as restoration to the very minds, hearts and souls of all those who are hurting and heavy laden.
	Pat & Gary Anderson began Wings of Praise 13 years ago after seeing the impact that banners and dance have when people gather to worship the Lord. A Chariot was seen coming out of Heaven by an intercessor when true worship was reached. They have built the ministry to a full costume room, full banner room, taking orders for flags, banners, and costumes on a regular basis, teaching workshops, and being invited to participate in conventions.  They have photographed numerous angels, golden stairway to Heaven, fire on the platform, shekinah glory, and more.  They love sharing all that God has in store for us and for you all.
	Patricia Keiffer serves the Lord as founder and director of Holy Smoke Ministries, an expressive worship dance ministry established in 2000.  Called to instigate expressive worship in the church, in all of its aspects, including teaching and producing worship instruments and training resources.

At the age of 6 she learned introductory ballet & tap but always had the desire to do African dance.  She started African dance and Dunham technique along with her daughter in 1999.  She was introduced to the Mime Ministry in 2002 which offered many opportunities, to minister in many places such as Bank of America, Fraternal organizations, family functions etc.   Isaiah 6:8 I heard the LORD ask, "Is there anyone I can send? Will someone go for us?"  "I'll go," I answered. "Send me!"
	Evangelist Sheila LaWanda Williams is currently an Associate Minister of the O’Fallon Apostolic Assembly Church where the founding pastor is Suffragan Bishop Gregory Wells, sr.  She has been under his pastorateship for the past fifteen years. In 1992, the Lord called her into the ministry to preach His Word.  Since then, she has been evangelizing for the cause of Christ and the up building of God’s kingdom.  God has also gifted her to minister in song under the anointing of God to sooth the hearts of God’s people.  Her ultimate mission is to successfully reach those that are lost and bring them into the fold of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Greetings Friends!

We need your help!  The 4th Equipping the Saints Dance & Worship Arts Conference is quickly approaching!  Each year, the Lord continues to amaze us by saturating us with HIS presence as He equips the saints for ministry.  In addition to the high operating costs, we typically sponsor 20-30 attendees that would not be able to attend otherwise. We also strive to support an entity outside of the conference.  This year, it is our desire to provide additional support to the people in Haiti.

Your donation of $10 or more  will be pooled with the generous contributions from other like-minded supporters to further equip us to reach and support the masses. That’s the POWER OF TEN!

Sending your donation is easy!  Simply click on the button or link below and you’ll be redirected to the PayPal payment processor where you can complete your donation online with a debit card.  Any amount that you can share would be greatly appreciated.

(You do not need a Paypal account to use this method.  Using a debit / credit card you can donate without logging in)
