It was so hard to say goodbye. 2 weeks with incredible dancers, ministers of God's love and people who love to have fun like us ... it was a true blessing. Every single person in One50 was awesome and the team really had a hard time saying goodbye.This tour really has been fun to date. It may be the fact that we have been with friends the whole time. But the ministry has also been incredible. We went to 26 schools in Adelaide over the two weeks. That is about 17 000 kids that we were able to share God's incredible love with. The reception everywhere we went was (again that world) incredible. Even those schools that normally sit on their hands and don't engage in anything got up and were dancing with us by the end.
The rally was great. There were approx. 800 local kids who came to hear the world and be part of the celebration through dance. The stand out moment for me was seeing Jarod give his testimony. It was a powerful and impacting moment in the meeting and the whole room was captivated. I am definitely biased as I have known and loved J for years but it is those moments, where you see how God is using the individual team members gifts to bless others ... those are the happy sighing moments I treasure.
The thing that makes Adelaide so unique is the "sister" ministry mentality of One50 Dance. They get our playlist and choreograph routines to them. When we come together, we fit like a glove so the whole time we are ministering, it is together and not just one after the other ... like those "anything you can do .." moments. They are great dancers and just keep up'ing the game each year. This year the Flames and One50 danced with Rashawn to his Ge-Mix. It was hot have the mix of styles, cultures and tones around Rashawn with his great talent. IT WAS HOT.
Obviously this was a particularly special week for all of us. I just love these guys. I can't believe the whole Australia deal really came about because of these two amazing Kel's believing in what the teams do and pushing me to make it happen. I will be forever grateful to God for their ministry and hearts.
