Kingdom Heritage – Michaela Nakani on Encounter Dance School and "At the Well" Production

In this episode of Community Matters on Radio Cape Pulpit, host Sean Fohibner stands in for Jean Morris to explore the theme of Kingdom Heritage, based on 1 Peter 2:9. He welcomes Michaela Nakani, founder of Encounter Dance School, along with her father and her friend Kieran. Michaela, who has been dancing since the age of three and has over 14 years of experience in dance ministry, shares her journey of faith and worship through dance. She speaks about her vision for Encounter Dance School—"come, encounter, and be transformed"—and the upcoming production At the Well, inspired by the encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman in John 4. Michaela explains that the Samaritan woman came to Jesus carrying baggage and went through the most, yet she had a refreshing encounter with Him that transformed her life. Her father shares touching memories of Michaela dancing in the driveway at age three and how her expressive worship has been cultivated over the years. Kieran speaks about their friendship and how they strive to display Jesus and invest in others together. Michaela also talks about her time serving with dance ministries such as Prophetic Praise, His Kingdom, and Bethany Dance Company, and how those seasons taught her dedication and the importance of putting the Word first. The episode includes details about the At the Well production taking place on 10 October at The Love Church in Bellville, with tickets priced at R150. Michaela encourages listeners to come and experience their moment of refreshing and renewal, emphasising that the encounter is for everyone.
