Hello, Illuminate Families!

I hope that you have had a wonderful start to your summer!  We have heard from many of you in the last couple of weeks asking about our summer and fall plans and would love to share with you what God has been doing in Illuminate recently.  God has begun speaking to us about a transition and shift that needs to happen in Illuminate.  We have sensed that this next season would look quite different than it ever has for us and for the creative arts ministry here at Glory of Zion International Ministries.   

We are in a place of prayer and seeking God for the blueprint of what He is saying for the future, but we do not have a timeline for when that will be. As we are pressing into this, we do know that we will not be offering our training programs or the vast quantity of classes we have in past seasons. We believe that we are in a season of taking one step forward and then completely stopping and waiting on the Lord for the next step.  Much like David when he moved the Ark of the Covenant and God required a sacrifice of worship every few steps, we too, will do what He asks and then stop and wait without presuming we know what’s coming next. 

For those of you who will begin seeking where God would lead you in this next season to find training in your art form, please know we are praying over you and your children and are declaring open doors in the direction God is leading your family!

We pray and speak blessings and JOY over you and your household this summer!  May the Joy of the Lord be your strength in this season!

Thank you, 

Illuminate Staff
