What's in a name?

While a ministry is certainly made up of a team (that is a number of persons associated in accomplishing the same task) just any team does not form a ministry. The key is the purpose for the team. What are we here for? Is it to build up the body of Christ? Can we be sure that it will do so from looking at Scripture? Our ministry key verse can tell you yes to both!

If you have been a part of a Daughters of David dance practice you will know that rarely a Thursday goes by that I do not tell my girls "We are not just a dance TEAM we are a dance MINISTRY." I do this because I want them to understand and live out that purpose.

I also see Daughters of David as a double ministry. We minister to others in our dances, but we also minister within the group by having a half an hour of Bible study each and every practice and prayer time. The girls know to bring their Bibles and their notebooks and to participate in the prayer. As a group we strive to build each other up so that we will be more effective outside of our small group in the church and ultimately in the world.
