They have seen Your procession, O God,
The procession of my God, my King,
into the sanctuary. The singers went before,
the players on instruments followed after;
Among them were the maidens playing timbrels
Psalm 68:24-25
Raise a song and strike the timbrel,
the pleasant harp with the lute.
Psalm 81:2
Again I will build you, and you shall be rebuilt,
O virgin of Israel! You shall again be adorned
with your tambourines, And shall go forth
in the dances of those who rejoice.
Jeremiah 31:4

communities, and the nations through annual dance conferences, workshops, online resources and various media outlets. She also serves as Director of the
Movement Ministries of House of Prayer for All Nations in Las Vegas, NV.
Set Free Evangelistic Ministries in Columbus, Ohio on November 3-5, 2005. Pastors Chris and Pamela Hardy led this great event which
included special guests Apostle LaFayette Scales of Rhema Christian Center, Rev. Eyesha Marable of Allen AME and the National
Liturgical Dance Network, Yvonne Peters of Without End Ministries, Rochelle Pitts of Rhema Christian Center, Apostle Veronica Smith of
CDF East Coast, Prophet Darin Allen of International Covenant Ministries and Terrance Hollins of Davidic Ministries International.
The summit was set for “the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry…” (Ephesians 4:12). The train of the Lord truly filled the temple
opening night as the praise and worship team ushered us into His presence and the dancing began. Prophetic parables of Charlotte
Baker were interpreted and compelled us to examine our relationships with God and take a closer look at our intimate time with him.
Yvonne Peters let us know that we are 'good dirt' as she taught on the Lord’s Passion for Worshippers; reminding us that worship and
covering the throne of God is the only translated ministry that is going to heaven.
Rev. Eyesha Marable ministered on relationship and covenant as she extracted jewels from the book of Ruth. Rochelle Pitts discussed
what dance ministries look like, as she assured us that every joint supplies a need, and that we are to value each other and trust the
intentions of our leaders. Dr. Pamela Hardy spoke on spiritual gifts, knowing the time and the season, vision, purpose, dancing with the
power that God gave us, and time management, as she encouraged us to “be free and soar like eagles.”
Apostle LaFayette Scales taught us about “The Cost of Leadership.” He stressed the importance of prayer, humility, ministry of the word,
worship, truth and fire. During the Anointing and Commissioning Service, there was such an outpouring of the Holy Spirit as the ministers
danced to Shekinah Glory’s “Yes." Deliverance was definitely in the house as Prophet Darin Allen urged us all the more to soar as only
eagles can, against all odds.
The praise and worship did not stop there! Many of the ministers of dance joined Pastors Chris and Pamela Hardy for an awesome night
of dancing before the Lord. Sunday morning service called for an even higher time in the Spirit at International Covenant Ministries as we
enlarged our tents.
I would urge every dancer to prepare for the 2006 Gathering of the Eagles Summit that will be held October 5-7, 2006. For more info,
please visit Set Free Evangelistic Ministries (www.pamelarutherford.org). I look forward to dancing with you in the near future as you come
and soar where only eagles can.
