In fulfillment of the vision to disciple nations by shining the light of Jesus Christ in places where the Gospel has never been heard, LWB has traveled to such nations as China, India, Kazakhstan, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Peru etc. bringing performances, workshops, and cultural exchanges.The company has performed abroad in churches, schools, shelters for abused women, universities, orphanages and many other venues. People have been touched by the Lord, healed and made decisions for Christ through the ministry of the Light of the World Company.Light of the World Ballet has seen firsthand how the art of dance breaks Communist, Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist barriers and prepares the way for the entrance of the Lord into nations who appear closed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The desire of Light of the World Ballet is not only to share the Gospel with people of other nations, but to be a light in the United States. The Company does many local performances throughout the year in churches for evangelistic events or ministry to the Body, public and Christian schools, hospitals, college ministries, special needs centers, refugees, retreats and conferences etc. For a promo packet please contact ashley@lightoftheworldballet.com.
