Here's what people are saying about Karitos 2007...
From a Faculty Member:
...thoroughly enjoyed our time -- and we want to come back next year for more of it. The diversity, the creativity and the obvious passion for communicating Christ was very exciting. And my classes went quite well, I think.
An attendee sent this email to friends:
I had the privilege of being able to go to Karitos this weekend. This is a three-day seminar of Christian Arts. Karitos is a Biblically based artistic and technical growth experience that represented the arts in literature, film, dance, drama, fine art and theology. The instruction was wonderful and included established authors, artists, dancers and film-makers who were present to teach their passion of Jesus in the field that they specialize. I could not have been happier then listening to these fine lectures as well as visualizing the passion in the hearts of others as they stirred my spirit to follow my dreams and use my talents.
Thank you Karitos for opening my eyes wider, encouraging my heart and seeing the wide variety of creation you have planted in others as talents are used for the Kingdom. As I commit to grow in talents and beliefs, I thank God for how he created me and others to pursue all of His creation.
I would love to have you join me at Karitos next year to pursue, stir and commit to the creativity in you.
From a first time attendee:
I wanted to take the opportunity to say Thank You to all of the staff of Karitos for an AWESOME conference. This was my first year at Karitos and I am excited about the impartation that took place on last week. I enjoyed the classes and the Arts Ministry that went forth each night. Thank you for the opportunity to be exposed to the Ministry of Arts in such a dynamic way.
I am the chairperson of a Youth Dance Ministry from Zion, IL and many of the dance members were in attendance at the conference. They are still talking about the lessons they learned and we are implementing many of the techniques, order, and structure into our routines and administration.
As their youth leader I primarily administered the team and danced just a little. However, during Diane Wigstone classes, God gave me a new dance. Now I am a dancer in my heart and I plan to continue in the ministry of dance and Arts,
Again we thank you and look forward to attending next year.
An attendee sent this email to the Christian Dance Fellowship Illinois Chapter. It was then forwarded to the membership:
Just wanted to let everyone know how abundantly blessed our ministry and myself were to participate in Karitos again this past weekend. They get better every year. I was there one of there very first years as a drama participant and now that I'm in dance I am again richly blessed. My biggest reason for wanting to write everyone was to encourage them to check out the incredible ministry that was featured there: Acrodramance, from Way of Life ministries. I believe you can just email acrodramance.com. You too will be abundantly blessed. Hope to see you next year Aug. 6-8th!
(Eight other CDF members responded that they, too, were blessed at this year's conference.)
