Your ministry is LOVE...Your ministry is tangible...Your ministry is what WE need for this 21st centry. The purity is impacting, and the message is groung breaking.
If YOU cease to mime, then MANY will cease to be!

: REVERENCE BEYOND WORDS
:
: You may be able to go to any corner in New
: York City, or the sandy
: Beaches of California and see the art of
: mime, but I don’t think even
: Marcel Marceau could have imagined this
: unique form of art portrayed
: with such life changing power.
:
: Treshele and Yvonne McDaniel have applied
: their white face make-up,
: gloves, and robes, and are now taking the
: nation by storm as Yielded
: Vessel Mime Ministry. This amazing duo has
: combined music with dramatic
: movement, and accompanied by songs such as
: Ce Ce Winan’s "Alabaster
: Box", Yolanda Adams’, "In The
: Midst of It All", and Shekinah Glory’s
: "Praise Is What I do", they
: portray God’s influence in mans’ life. With
: unique storytelling ability, and without
: saying a word, Yielded Vessel
: deals with issue after issue as they
: illustrate the way fractured lives
: can be mended and reconciled to God. By the
: end of every mime, youth as
: well as adults stand amazed and teary eyed.
:
: What makes Yielded Vessel so powerful?
: Treshele McDaniel says, "This is
: where we came from. Our ministry was
: developed from our ‘mess’. We, like
: many of the youth today, got caught up in
: the ‘party life’, and drugs. I
: was so street smart that you wouldn’t have
: recognized me. My sister
: (Yvonne) was the same way, and then her life
: was changed by a car
: accident that could have been fatal. That
: accident showed her how
: precious and amazingly short life can be. I
: remember she came to me one
: day and said, ‘We served the devil together
: for so many years, why
: don’t’ we try serving God for a change.’ I
: didn’t want to hear it at
: first, but she was persistent and I decided
: to go to church just to get
: her off my back. It was while I was sitting
: in church that I realized
: that the void I kept trying to fill through
: drugs and other immoral
: acts, could only be filled with the love of
: God through salvation. One
: of the songs that we minister is called,
: "Let Us Worship", by Yolanda
: Adams. In this song we are actually acting
: out our testimony, and it
: shows how my sister saved my life."
:
: Yvonne says, "I believe God took us out
: of the filth we were in, cleaned
: us up and said, ‘Now go back in there and
: get others who are still bound
: in immorality and through your testimony let
: them know I love them - - -
: let them know that I’ve heard their prayers,
: and that I’m still here - -
: - waiting. All they have to do is take one
: step and I’ll take two.’
: We’re not saying that everyone has the same
: issues. What we are saying
: is that whatever your issue is, God has the
: answer."
:
: When I think of ministries, miming is not a
: method that immediately
: comes to mind, but as I watched their
: stories unfold that night, I began
: to see myself - - - my hidden secrets and
: challenges - - - come to life
: on stage right before my eyes. Secrets and
: challenges that I had not
: dared to share with anyone, except God. By
: the end, I was, like others
: around me, wiping away tears. Not only did I
: leave the performance
: feeling like a burden had been lifted from
: my shoulders, but I knew that
: God had heard every one of my prayers, and
: that I was there by divine
: appointment to receive answers from Him:
: Answers that came through two
: sisters . . . and one ministry . . . called
: Yielded Vessel. In my
: interview with them I shared my experience
: with them, and their reply
: was simply, "To God be the glory."
:
: Yvonne went on to explain, "It’s
: important that we listen to God. He’s
: our choreographer. Each movement is to
: reverence Him, and it’s
: definitely a reverence beyond words."
:
: While writing this article, I reflected upon
: what Treshele had said
: regarding how her sister had saved her life,
: but as I think about it, I
: realize the impact both of these girls have
: made on people’s lives all
: over the world. They’ve ministered to
: thousands of Youth at youth
: conferences called Y.U.G.O., with Dr.
: Patricia Bailey. They’ve also
: appeared on the Bobby Jones show, The Word
: channel, TBN, Daystar, and
: The 700 Club. Imagine the hearts that are
: being changed through this
: unique ministry, which is Yielded Vessel's
: way of reverencing the Most
: High God. It's beyond words.
