On June 1st
only 10 days till I was going on my mission trip
to Romania, I saw on Facebook that a family friend who works for OM
(Operations Mobilization)
had shared a video about OM Arts
Training: Incarnate 2016. I was filled with passion and excitement. A
four month intensive, discipleship training for artists and ministry
with art in Italy none the less, it sounded amazing! Then I left for
3 weeks, and after a lot of prayer and challenges. By God's work I am
now on the journey to Italy and this amazing opportunity to use my
artistic gift to share the gospel.
A
few details about the trip:
- I leave January 24th and return home May 16th.
- Incarnate 2016 will be hosted at Isola Evangelical Center, in central Italy.
- There will be at least 20 hours of studio time per week during the 12 weeks of training
- Incarnate festival weekend exhibiting the artists’ best work and art created in collaboration with local artists. The valley is blessed a truly international event and naturally connect the local churches with mainstream culture.
- The last month of the program is a Field placement so that I can immediately put into practice what I have learned. And pursue my calling to global missions as an artist.
I'm
ecstatic about this opportunity to get intensive training in visual
arts. But I'm not going yet, I need your help to get me there. I need
$6,500 by December 11th.
