Have you ever seen the glowing effects of a multitude of individuals all with a single
candle, extending them in unison? Such a simple act magnifies the efforts of one into an
awesome display of light and color that none alone would have been able to achieve. To be
the light of the world, we must each raise our solitary light to the heavens together.
Only there, beyond what we perceive as our limitations, can we illuminate the deepest
recesses of the darkness.
LIGHTDANCERS is a ministry of patience and endurance. Many of our encounters
are a onetime opportunity. There is a lot of "seed planting" as we move to see Christ's love showered
on those we encounter. Sometimes in meeting the needs of others, our efforts are accomplished in a
conventional manner, sometimes, they are not. The idea is to break the barriers and reach the
people. We have never desired to duplicate what the church has already established, nor has this
ever been, a ministry of sensationalism or a numbers game. We are now as
we have always been, an on the edge outreach. Any effect we have in the world around us is simply
made one life at a time. Throughout the years our sole means of financial support has always come
from God moving on the hearts of the people who learn about our mission. And so we continue, only
now we are back to the basics. No incorporation, no tax receipt to offer. Just total reliance on
God to make things happen on all levels as He alone sees fit.
Every person has his or her place in the body of Christ and in the work of spreading the
awesome message of God's love. It is important to remember that God does not call all
people to all things. To some He gives talent, to others He gives resources, to yet
another He pours out financial abundance. These are His gifts to His children. How we
utilize these blessings is our gift back to Him. Whenever you have the opportunity to contribute
to a cause you believe in, we ask that you would not only prayfully consider doing so, but that
you would follow through on your decision should it be in favor of that outreach. Financial
support is vital to the ability of any organization to be able to carry out the work they are called
to do.
We want to thank each and every one of you who have contributed to LIGHTDANCERS
throughout the years. Most of you who gave, gave from the heart because you truly believed in our efforts
and the tax receipt really didn't matter at all. Thank you. Thank you for your love and your prayers and
your desire to want to make a difference even when you didn't understand the dancer's world or where
the journey to reach them would take us. And for the few who stepped up when we stepped out to reach
the next generation, know that lives were changed forever because of it. But most moving of all, was when
our wonderful, incredible gang at Mirage got together in a last ditch effort to support the
place they had come to love and call their own and orchestrated their own ideas of fundraising.
You guys are AWESOME! And we will love you FOREVER!
So back to the glowing effects of the candle raised in unison. The point we're trying to make is
this: when you discover something you believe in, support it.
There are a lot of things and people that make the world go round and a lot of opposition to the
truth because of it. Stand for what you believe in by supporting the efforts of something
worthwhile with your time, your money, your talent...your life
We at LIGHTDANCERS can no longer accept donations, but there are plenty of other
outreach ministries out there who can and who need your support. If your interested, you can
simply visit one of our LINKS pages in the OUTREACH section of this website to
get an idea of just some of the ministries out there. Networking is vital. Get involved.
Because of our stance in the exotic dancing industry we always steered clear of getting involved
with anything that was legally related, but there is a time and a place for everything. You want
change regarding something? Exercise your voice. Whether that be by voting or by writing letters
to the powers that be, remember that all it takes is one voice to sway a nation. One voice to
enact change. One voice to save a life. One voice to change the world. Use it! Not in an obnoxious,
condesending way, but in a way that reflects the love that Christ has for His people. He didn't
create us to be "mamby pamby walk on me Christians. "He created us to be warriors for His kingdom.
We are quickly becoming the minority here. It's time we started growing some backbone and getting
behind what we believe, just as those in the world support the things they believe in.
So get next to somebody else of like mind and hold your light up high so that the world can see
the light that shines out of darkness when we all stand in unison and lift up that which is right
and good to a standard that is greater than our own.
