Redeem the Dance
The Next PAJ – please pray into this with me…
Sofia Muriel was 21 when Hamas murdered her at the Nova party—her only “crime” was wanting to dance. 505 days later, her father, Vladislav Bungert, consumed by unbearable grief, ended his own life. 💔
After reading this, I heard Adonai say “Redeem the Dance.” And I knew that going to Zarit, the 12th Gate Assignment on April 6, would somehow be a seed planted for this vision to be fulfilled, even in a time of tragedy.
