UPDATES AND TESTIMONIES
Hola Familia,
Familia, I am missing you! I love you, I love you, I
love
you! How have you
been? You are probably inundated, now
that the children are back in school. Okay, so I won't
keep you but I had to tell you about Dancing
Preacher's International (DPI) in Puerto Rico.
The DPI conference was awesome and many lives
have been transformed. I heard so many
testimonies from the delegates, you must read their
faith walk below.
During this time of economic hardship, the saints
traveled to Puerto Rico with little, to hear one word
from God. My God!
Their faith was matched with miracles. Two
consistent phrases from everyone
is that their life will never be the same and this has
been the best Dancing Preacher's ever! Only God
can do more with less.
We had dance evangelism on the streets and many
people were saved and lives have been changed.
Puerto Rico has been declared for Jesus and we are
once again mapping out the Nations with our
feet!!!!!!!!

Thank God for Facebook (FB) and social networking.
I
was
able to do a day to day recap during the conference
on
Facebook. You must join me there; we'll also have
the
ability to chat more frequently,
Join me on FB today!
Oh yeah, Please join our new SMM Book
Club and visit my website for updates.
Before we recap the conference, let's catch up! My
children are back in school and right back to all of
their
extracurricular activities. I am the full-time mom and
part-time chauffeur. LOL. Here are some photos of
little Miss Imani, she is growing up so
quickly.
I am also back in school and my course schedule is
off the meter (full). This is my last year at the
Interdenominational Theological Center (ITC)
GLORY!!
I had my senior audit and
have been
measured for my cap and gown. This is a good
place
to shout, pick them up and put them down!
Sunday, I was in Detroit and had a fabulous time.
Special thanks to Triumph Dance Ministry who
always
shows me much love. Carlos you did an awesome
job ministering and your best is yet to come! Pastor
Kinloch delivered a powerful word, get the CD.
I am traveling to New York in
October and looking forward to visiting friends and
family. Join us!

Chicago has major issues but tomorrow it might be

2010, inviting everyone to come join us, as
we "Return To Worship."
Last week I met the Honorable Xernona Clayton,
President and CEO of the Trumpet Awards. The
Trumpet Awards is a prestigious event highlighting
African American accomplishments and
contributions.
Initiated in 1993 by Turner Broadcasting.
In early September I traveled to Greenville South
Carolina for the E3 Worship Arts conference, Oh
my! What a mighty move of GOD! Ministers Dawain
and Andrietta Atkinson hosted a fantastic
conference. It
was such a blessing meeting dance ministers from
all around the world and fellowshipping.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve. I
was
privileged to teach several classes (i.e. God's Armor
Bearer; "Dancing Preachers" ~ The Word Made
Flesh). Additionally I was afforded the opportunity to
bring the preached word on Friday morning. The
Holy
Spirit directed me with a sermon was entitled, "Put
on
Your Holy Ephod because it's Time for War"
and "Your
Adversity is Provoking You into Gods Presence."
Through your confrontation, you will receive more
revelation. "Crisis breeds opportunity"
MY DANCING PREACHERS INTERNATIONAL
EXPERIENCE AND THANK YOU'S

I have been speaking Spanish ever since we
returned
from Dancing Preachers International. Puerto Rico is
such a beautiful place and we truly had a great time.
The delegates have made this years conference the
best "Dancing Preachers ever!" That would not have
been possible without your prayers &
support.
Dancing Preachers came to worship from Jamaica,
Bahamas, Barbados, London, Canada, Israel,
Trinidad, Africa,
Brazil, Turks, New Mexico, Iowa, New York,
Washington Dc, Detroit, Georgia, Baltimore, Florida,
South Carolina, Texas, Alabama, Virginia, St Louis,
California, Las Vegas and other places. WHEW!
Send
the nations to worship together Jehovah!

Thank you so much for your prayers, they kept me
strong the entire trip. Commissioner Johnson when I
opened your email in Puerto Rico I was so blessed,
thank you my friend.
In seminary, my Old Testament Professor asked
the
class a thought provoking question, "Is God really
good all the time?" Dr Mafico after my experience in
Puerto Rico and all the supernatural things God did
for me, I would have to emphatically say, YES!!! A
RESOUNDING YES! God is good all the time and all
the time God is good!
Thank you Jesus over and over again for your
faithfulness. You made ways out of no way. God
you
parted the red sea and brought a nation out of
bondage into the marvelous light. Thank you for
exceeding my expectations in Puerto Rico and
providing an overflow in every area.
Commissioner Roberto, Thank you for opening up
San Juan and giving Dancing Preachers International
the keys to your city. Thank you to the Condo Plaza
Hotel staff and general manager. The 4-diamond
hotel was absolutely exquisite~ tailor made for Kings
& Priests and your service was phenomenal. It was
such a delight working with your entire staff.
Thank you to the Elder Tapika & Sukky my
watchman
on the wall and the entire intercessory team.

Special thanks to all the Keynote speakers and
workshop facilitators: Apostle Dr. Elizabeth Hairston,
Dr Ann Higgins, Prophetess Francine Riley and Rev
Stephanie Butler. You all poured out so much to
each
delegate and left no one thirsty. You provided the
intimate setting for the community of worshippers
that
provided healing and transformation.

To my executive team and the entire DPI staff, how
can
I ever repay you? We never would have made it
with
out you. You made this Dancing Preachers
International a sweat-less victory! The delegates
were
tremendously blessed because of your
graciousness,
exemplary customer service and your Agape Love.
This year I rested, while working! I had the
opportunity
everyday to greet the delegates and hear their
testimonies, rest on the beach and partake in the
awesome festivities and workshops that were
provided. Valisha, Jovall, Yakeisha, Tosha, Danielle,
Monica, Marita, Lakita, Carol, Jacquetta, Pam, and
Rekesha-- thank you so very much for your labor
of
love.
I appreciate all the dance leaders in Puerto Rico that
helped to make Dancing preachers International a
great success!
Teachers - I continue to be humbled by God's love
and
mercy!!!! I sincerely appreciate all of you taking the
time to teach others what our great God has
bestowed
upon you.
Special thanks to my haters, you became my
motivators. You pushed me in the presence of God
and there He reminded me of where my help and
strength comes from (confrontation breeds
revelation.) Whitney thank you for your song "I
Didn't
know my Own Strength." (It's the God in me! Girl,
God
brought us out!

Dancing Preachers International 2011!!!!!!!
Now I thought I told you that we won't stop! Dancing
Preachers International 2011 in Jamaica!! Worship
Leaders if you are ready to experience dance
ministry
(anointed) that destroys yolks, I will see you in
Jamaica. Jamaica when the dance ministers plant
their feet on your soil, your Country will never be
the
same. Our feet will map out the Nations!!!!!!!!!
Official DPI Recap!
On the plane there were Dancing Preachers
Delegates eager and in full expectation for what the
Lord had in store. I arrived to a full day of meetings
with the hotel, DPI staff and the government
officials
from San Juan. Once my work load was completed,
I
went off to the beach to enjoy the beautiful weather
and the sound of the peaceful water. Before the
conference began I would spend every morning on
the
beach alone with Daddy beckoning for the healing
waters to come restore my soul.
Look At God!
I had three most memorable moments.
First, We met on the beach every morning. Men and
women
walking the beach who were not conference
attendees joined us for prayer and to give their lives
to
Christ. It was awesome to see fathers and sons
return to the Father, gang members yield to Jesus
and
families asking for prayer. What a mighty God we
serve. We had a baptismal service in Puerto Rico
on
the beach!
Second, was the street evangelism on Saturday
night. It was crazy, we had free worship! Many of
the Islanders could not speak English but they knew
that they experienced the presence of the Lord. As
a result many gave their and lives to Christ and
received prayer.
Third, was watching this young lady dance from her
wheel chair every night. She said this wheel chair
can
not stop my worship. My God, what is our excuse
for not giving God all the glory?
Workshops were incredible:
The Breaker Anointing & Deliverance
Governing the Winds
My Ministry or God's Ministry
Interpretive/Lyrical Choreography - Part
I
So, You Think You Can Dance?
Worship Dance Choreography for Youth
Stir Up the Gifts - Utilizing Each Gift for
the Body and
Activate Them
Wednesday Dancing Preachers Welcome
Reception:
Opening night we held a welcome reception where
the delegates had an opportunity to meet and greet
one another. The evening service was filled with
giving
thanks. I spoke about tearing down traditionalism
and
old systems that were not needful and whom the
Son
sets free is free indeed. God has called us to be
distributors of wealth and resources.
Thursday General Session: Elder Tapika
gave
a
riveting word about governing the four winds through
prayer. My God what a revelation!
We met on the beach every morning. Men and

Thursday Evening General Session: Apostle
Elizabeth
Hairston was the anointed powerful speaker to lead
us into the Holy of Holies. We had an impartation
service and many of the dance ministers received a
prophetic word.
Friday Morning General Session: Rev
Stephanie
Butler gave a Rhema word about "Strategic
Takeover!"
It was straight from the Throne of God. Rev.
Stephanie
I want to hear that sermon again. It was truly
POWERFUL!
Friday Night General Session: Prophetess
Riley's
message spoke to our healing and God giving us
back the keys! An awesome prophetic move took
place and deliverance was the evidence.
Saturday Morning General Session: I spoke
on the
vision of the International Dance Commission (IDC)
and dance ministry leaders and organizations
working
together to edify the body and equip the saints.
Every
person was encouraged to understand their gifts and
to lay down fear, traditionalism, cultural divides,
competition, jealousy and envy to attain a higher
goal.
Saturday Evening General Session: Dancing
Preachers "Taking Authority." This was the night
many
waited for. The street evangelism was incredible.
We
danced and marched from the Condado Plaza
Resort
to the Ocean View square. There we were greeted by
Commissioner Robert and a wonderful cultural
expression of Puerto Rican Folk dance. Afterwards
we were presented with an awesome demonstration
of historical dance. The DPI attendees
demonstrated
God's love thou
DANCING PREACHERS INTERNATIONAL
PUERTO RICO TESTIMONIALS:
"What an AMAZING time! Just got back to Atlanta -
and
I can only say 2009 Dancing Preachers was
awesome! How blessed we were to watch the move
of God unfold before our very eyes, and just when
we
thought it couldn't get any better - each day, God
simply blew our minds! The street evangelism/cross
cultural sharing event was amazing! Watching people
come to Christ is always a wonderful and beautiful
thing! Congrats to you Sabrina! You will truly be a
mother of nations! TH, Citadel of Hope
COGIC
Dancing Preachers 2009 was Triple A: AWESOME,
AMAZING, ANOINTED. Just arrived home early this
morning. I am still flying high from seeing how God
used the conference to bring people to Him. Sabrina,
thanks for being obedient and allowing God to use
you for His glorification. DS, Women of
Worship
Liturgical Dance Ministry
We are finally getting back into the swing of things
here in Houston. We have been on such a high from
the Dancing Preachers conference. We never
imagined that we would experience God's glory the
way we did in Puerto Rico. We didn't know what it
was
that God had in store for us when we got there, but
He
blew our mind with what was revealed to us.
Sabrina..Thank you so much for your obedience!
Your
spirit is awesome! Can't wait to see you at the next
conference! Devine Destiny
WHAT A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE, I AM FROM
THE PUERTO RICO MINISTR, AND IT WAS SUCH
A
BLESSING AND WE ARE SO GRATEFUL OF THE
GIFT THE LORD GAVE US DURING THE DAYS
OF
THE CONFERENCE. IT WAS NOT IN OUR PLANS
TO
BE PART OF SUCH AN EXPERIENCE BUT IT
DEFINITELY WAS IN HIS PLANS FOR US. I
THANK
SABRINA FOR LETING HERSELF BE USED IN
ORDER FOR US TO EXPERIENCE THIS TIME,
THIS
WAS SOMETHING NONE OF US HAS NEVER

SOMETHING WE'D LOVE TO BE A PART OF
AGAIN.
SABRINA KEEP UP YOUR WORK, THERE ARE

BLESS FROM WS, MINISTERIO TU ARTE EN MI,
DORADO PR
Sabrina,
What an awesome amazing conference! I have been
to Dancing Preachers for the last four years and
this
was the best one yet. I am so glad that you did not
let
numbers (or people) deter you. This years
conference
was so much more intimate. Everyone just kind of
moved together with a spirit of oneness. There was
a
sweet presence throughout the workshops and
sessions that I do not think had the opportunity to
manifest in previous years all the glitz, glam, and
drama gone! What a rested, restored time in the
Lord!
Blessings to you, your family, and the ministry that
is
yet to come! - DJG

THANK

your

to
use you in such a mighty way! I already knew
Sabrina
the dancer but at Dancing Preachers I met the
PREACHER! WOW! 2011 I can't wait and what ever
you need just ask. DG
Puerto Rico was an amazing experience for me...it
was a homecoming of sorts (I am Puerto Rican) and
I
hadn't been back since the early 90's - but this
homecoming was with real PURPOSE! Thank you
Sabrina for gathering together such anointed
teachers-
I am so excited to move forward! I am truly
humbled
by God's Love and Mercy!!!! TH
Oh my word what an experience! Puerto Rico will
never be the same, my life will never be the same.

Dear Sabrina. Im home safely. Dancing Preachers,
Puerto Rico was awesome. Changed my life
completely. To see people saved thru the ministry
of
dance blew me away. My vision is back on track. I
have
been set free. The keynote speakers were God
ordained and poured their lives into us so freely. The
whole week was orchestrated by the Holy Spirit and
you Sabrina were in tune with Him every step of the
way. Please thank your staff for being truly
available
and lovely to all of us. Can you believe I nearly
didnt
make it. The devil is a liar. This was so needed and
my life has been impacted to the point that I am
now
running with vision as I encountered mighty women
of
God who have gone before me and demonstrated
how it should be done. Its about a relationship with
God and a lifestyle of prayer, intercession and being
in
the word and I saw the fruit of that this week. Thank
you Sabrina McKenzie for being obedient to the call.

This was my first "Dancing Preachers" and I am so
thankful that I was blessed with the opportunity to
be
there!! Can't wait to apply what I have learned and
prepare for next year! VJS
Sabrina i had a wonderful time. Thank you for the
opportunity to minister in praise and worship with my
other sisters i look forward to the next conference
and
will be ready to lend a helping hand. May God bless
and keep you. LSG
Thank you for being so down to earth and touchable.
I
came by myself and didn't know anyone. You came
to
me and hugged me like you knew me for years. It
was
real and not a plastic hug you get from people who
are
insincere. You made it easy to get know people and
you allowed me most importantly to be myself. I
had
the best time here in Puerto Rico. (taco bell LOL
(insider).. Thank you for allowing me to minister in
dance and have to opportunity to share the gift God
has given me. Thank you for not quiting because in
pressing you helped pull me out of a pit called "run
of
the mill". I want to take back everything I learned. I
will
tell anyone this was the best conference I have
ever
been to in my whole LIFE!! PSE
HI MRS. SABRINA THANKS FOR THE PICTURES
EVERYDAY!!!! AWESOME, MAKING ME FEEL LIKE
IM
CATCHING EVERYTHING IN PUERTO RICO..
PRAYING THAT GOD CONTINUE TO MOVE IN A
EXTRODINARY WAY. BE BLESSED.
LSS
Sabrina your word for Wednesday was so for me.
When you came up to me in the lobby and took the
pictures of me. I was telling my mom that maybe I
should have not come to puerto rico. Your word was
so on target. It was funny I got an e-mail a week
ago.
saying my songs don't fit with their program. Be
