Melissa Burton, founder of Impact Dance Ministries, shares on the importance of truth in our worship and how she has brought dancers from all over the world into a worshipping community. 

--

Melissa Burton grew up dancing competitively and serving on the dance ministry at her church before starting Impact in September 2018. After moving to California to pursue her passion for the entertainment industry, God in His reckless love took ahold of her. It was then that Melissa was given a heart for women's dance ministry and uniting women around the world. She realised that women needed to be given an outlet to express their struggles and allow God's truth through movement to be the answer to their freedom. Today, Melissa is uniting women across the globe and demonstrating that dance is more than just movements, but rather also a way to show the good news of Jesus.
