SATURDAY last saw the Worship In Spirit and Truth (WIST) Ministries International collaborating with the Church Without Walls and several other Christian dance groups to spread cheer across Georgetown through a religious and humanitarian outreach. 

The collaborative effort which also came from Undignified Prophetic Dance Ministry from Plaisance and Kuru Kururu Assembly of God in Soesdyke, entailed a short period of prayer and preaching, followed by the most anticipated items which were a few dances by the various ministries. ‘Every Praise to our God’ and ‘Standing in Babylon’ were the religious selections which facilitated well coordinated and orchestrated dances.

TREAT FOR VAGRANTS
However, the ministries had more in store for the day’s events. Following the ministerial expression in dance and worship, the groups closed the event by distributing food and juice to over forty vagrants around the environs of Georgetown.
According to WIST, they felt that it is necessary now to reach out to the less fortunate as not only Guyana but the world is lost for answers.
“Ebola is eating away at us while governments struggle with the answer for every kind of towering issue, including suicide. So it is time for the nation of Guyana to be reminded that God is the hope and peace of the world. We should all stand up for righteousness and keep our trust in God,” the Ministry expressed.
WIST came into being in September 2002 and has since trained gospel dancers in several Christian denominations across the nation.

CHRISTIAN DANCERS
The group encompasses a collection of Christian dancers from churches on the East Coast of Demerara (ECD), East Bank of Demerara (EBD), Sosedyke Highway, West Bank Demerara (WBD) and Georgetown. It comprises a dance school and a dance company.
Much like the WIST Ministries, the Church Without Walls is an evangelistic ministry that seeks to spread the gospel using various creative methods.
The outreach was described by the participants as a success. “It was heartwarming to hear one of the homeless persons say ‘I was so hungry, God send you to bring something for me to eat, thank you,’” one of the facilitators told this publication.
“The onlookers seemed to enjoy and encore the event… There would be more events like this in the future,” she said.
The groups also wish to extend appreciation to the Guyana Police Force for their tremendous support in facilitating the event.
