REVERENCE BEYOND WORDS

Marcel Marceau could have imagined this unique form of art portrayed
with such life changing power.
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.
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."
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."
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."
our choreographer. Each movement is to reverence Him, and it’s
definitely a reverence beyond words."
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.
