"I enjoy ministering where the Lord leads me. I am eager to bless my brothers and sisters through the ministry of dance and mime. I believe that God has called us and purposed us in this hour to use our gifts, talents, and abilities to encourage, exhort, equip and advance the Kingdom." ~ Ellaysa Newton
