Testimonies

Hear from Others

“St John’s Anglican Church, Ipoh (Malaysia) was blessed with the unexpected privilege of hosting the Christian dance group, Arrows International Dance Company, USA, at our church on Thursday, 29 June 2017…It was an amazing night of dance and music – the first of its kind to have taken place in our 105 year-old church, and perhaps even in the city of Ipoh. The church was filled with 300 people and everyone who came was blessed to experience this different style of worship and ministry through dance and music. The presentations began with a Testimony by Jeff Lewis and were interspersed with songs of Praise and Worship, ending with a time of rededication for all who attended. For some, it was their first time to see the Lord using His people through dance as a form of worship and ministry. We believe the work of the Holy Spirit was evident on that night. Many people were touched and testified how blessed they felt after attending this event.” – Rev Tom & Veronica Cherian (St. John’s Anglican Church – Ipoh, Malaysia)

“We were honored to have Jeff and Natalie Lewis with the Arrows International dance company minister at the Sakuragi Christian Center for our Sunday worship service. Through their spontaneous dance during the praise and worship time and Jeff’s powerful sharing of the Word of God, many members of the church were encouraged and stimulated to walk deeper in their faith and to believe the Lord for more. Arrows performance outside the Kakegawa station also provided an opportunity for the church to be bolder in sharing the Gospel publicly.  We were surprised to see so many people interested and drawn in to stop and watch the dances and mimes. Because Japanese people are inclined to be more visually than audibly oriented, the performance was very effective in communicating the love and power of God in a tangible way for all ages. The Presence of the Holy Spirit was present to touch and open many hearts and minds of those who would normally never enter a church. I believe that many seeds were planted, and there will be a great harvest of souls in the near future. We are continuing to pray and believe the Lord for “new beginnings” in Japan this year as a direct result of the ministry Arrows International was willing to bring to Japan this summer! May the Lord bless and increase their ministry because of their obedience to Him.” – Pastor Paul Bostrom (Sakuragi Christian Center – Kakegawa, Japan)

“Jeff Lewis and his ministry has been a part of my life and my ministry and the people I’ve ministered with for the past almost 15 years. I’ve had the privilege of translating for him on many occasions… I particularly remember one time when we had them ministering in San Juan, in the center of the capital of Puerto Rico. We had a lot of challenges getting there…but once we surpassed that and they started ministering, I can remember like today how the atmosphere shifted. Everything just changed and the presence of God was released all over the capital of Puerto Rico in San Juan. I know that Arrows carries with them that special anointing that wherever they go, whatever the challenges…they just go above and beyond that and just release the presence of God wherever they go. It’s life changing. I’ve seen many lives changed as a result of that.” – Britt Arrieta (Puerto Rico Host).

Hear from Arrows

“Being a part of the Arrows International Levitical Trainee Program has been integral to my journey of faith. Learning to let go of control and to have absolute trust in God in everything from finances to choreography and beyond is an area of my life where I have seen a lot of growth. This is one of the many lessons that I will always be able to refer back to and remember the amazing things God has done!” – Rachel, Colorado (LTP and Company 2017-present)

“Arrows has had a huge impact on my life…it’s been a time of growing in my relationship with the Lord, allowing Him to remove things from my life that didn’t belong, setting myself apart before Him, allowing Him to give me a new identity and grow my character. As I’ve done that, I’ve seen Him overwhelm me in His presence and provide in ways that I could have never expected. He’s taken me on this new journey of intimacy with Him.” – Alexis, New Jersey (LTP and Company 2016-present)

“Being a part of this team has forever helped me in becoming the persevering, flexible, step out in faith, believing for the impossible child of God that I am today. Traveling with Arrows and witnessing the favor of God over and over again demonstrates how dance is used by God to reach the lost He so dearly loves. The incredible teams that Jeff and Natalie put together to be unified and focused for a specific mission destination is a clear affirmation of God’s call on their lives.” – Cindy Killebrew, from Edmond, Oklahoma (Summer Teams: Costa Rica 2010 + 2012, China 2011, New Zealand 2014)

“Whether we were dodging goats and motorcycles in the streets of India or climbing up and down a 5 level stage in a London theater, I’ve personally seen this ministry impact countless lives, and my own foremost among them. This ministry brings joy and the glory of God everywhere they go.” – Elizabeth, Maryland (10 Summer Teams)

“The imparting of God’s truth, joy, hope, healing, strength… these are some of the many blessings I witnessed through my trip with Arrows, blessings both within our team and to those we ministered to in China. Through devotionals and choreography alike, I was humbled by being part of a team that sought to utter every word, every movement, every breath in worship to God.  And by His grace, this mindset unified us in every way, in our rehearsing, in our logistical preparation, in our unending travel adventures, so that we were equipped to seamlessly share Christ with a people whose hearts were open to receive – and open to receive through an art form such as dance. Praise God indeed for raising up worshipers and ministers to Hit the Mark.” – Megan Dortch from Abilene, Texas (China Summer Team 2011 and LTP 2019-Present)
