Return to Japan
The CMA Company Dancers have been invited back to Japan this summer.
We
stood in amazement, as we saw the Lord open the doors to Japan last year.
Now CMA has the privilege of ministering there not just once, but twice!
Praise the Lord, He is so good! Our hearts desire is to be His hands and
feet, taking the message of Christ to anyone who will hear it. Company members,
Erica Bergfalk (Breite), Tiffany Case, Melissa Estepp (Gifford), Crystal
Gifford, Naomi Porter and Alyssa Weiss will be traveling together once again
to minister in Japan. This year we will be staying with one ministry for
the entire time. This will allow us to better serve their ministry and be
able to spend more time building relationships with people. Our company will
be traveling to Kyushu (the lower island in Japan) for 12 days, the last
week of July. We will be working with Rocky and Marla Ayatsuka, a couple
we ministered with on our trip last summer. (see more below)

- Hold worship dance workshops for children to adult.

Kyushu performance 2005
|
It has been exciting over the last year to
hear how many of our young students in Colorado have been inspired to use
their dance for missions. The Japan tour last year began to show them that
they could use the talent God has given them to break language barriers and
begin to spread the gospel. We constantly want to inspire our students to
live such a passionate life for Christ that it would spill over onto all
who come near.

We had the privilege of working with Rocky and Marla Ayatsuka last year while
we were in Japan. They were the first people we ministered with last summer
and we felt an immediate connection! We had such an awesome 3 days with them,
it was hard to leave. Praise the Lord! Now this summer we get to work with
their ministry for 12 days!
Rocky (real name Hiroaki, from Japan) and Marla (from Texas) are married
and live in Kitakyushu, Japan where they are sharing the Gospel of Jesus
Christ with the people through music and evangelism. They also have a sweet
