MissionStatement: Our dance & drama team is primarily education, for Christian and non Christian, schools and agencies which have a true desire to learn, the true meaning of a peculiar people, who worship from the inside out. Instead of the outside in. At our in-home fellowship, "We minister to the Native and non-Native people for different purposes, depending on what the Holy Spirit wants. To the Natives, we minister God's love and acceptance as they are and as they were created. A lot of the people are told they must give up their identity to be pleasing to God. With their fellow-believers this may not be spoken, but is shown in a unspoken way. We try to show God loves us the way He made us, and that He doesn't make mistakes. To the non-Native we minister reconciliation and an explanation of what we believe God is saying to the established church. It is a message about evangelism with tolerance of a people they may not understand. We then urge them to approach ministry with a missionary point of view. We let God do the changing concerning culture and belief systems within a certain area. I, Wilma, grew up dancing from the age of 3 or 4 years old. When I became a Christian, I stopped all dancing for 5 years, until God showed me to use it for Him. As His witness and as Native Americans, each one of us has His example evident in our culture. Through our dance and worship, we show His fingerprint. Our ministry is done in our own tribal regalia. We worship in sign-language, as well as drama and dance. We illustrate God's gifts, as given by Him to us, for His edification, and for our use to worship and give Him glory.
