GREETINGS

 Worshipping God through the worship arts is a ministry the Lord has given me to share with you to encourage you to go beyond the borders of what you may think worship is.  You can worship God in many ways.  You can worship God through music and singing.  You can worship God through movement in dance.  You can worship God through art.  Our God is a BIG God and I when I do paintings, I prefer to paint BIG.  You can view some methods of worshipping God through art media in the picutres below. 

   USA - MARYLAND

 Our team has been privileged to minister regularly in prophetic worship services in various locations. We have ministered in gatherings in Howard County, MD;   Washington, DC; Baltimore, MD; Southern, MD and Harrisburg, PA.  One such event is held monthly at the Chevy Chase Baptist Church where we have been part of a team that plays music prophetically and drawing art during worship.

     USA

 I have directed Prophetic Art in various churches around the Washington, DC area doing 24, 48 and 72 hour worship conferences. I bring 8' x 20' paper and hang it on the wall. Others in the congregation join me and if God gives them a vision or a verse or a poem they put it on the wall.

  Amazing things have been happening -- teens really take to this form of worship -- the creative heart of God comes through the visions, color and art.  It becomes a picture within a picture with several people working on it at once.

 ISRAEL & ASIA

  One major ministry with the worship arts is ministry to children.  One of our evangelism goals includes writing, illustrating and translating curriculum into native languages.  There is a great need for teaching materials overseas.  The Lord has been leading our teams to  indigenous ministries in Israel (both Hebrew and Arabic children), to the Philippines, to India, and Tibet. 

 

PHILIPPINES 

  The Lord allowed our team to minister the gospel to over 500 poor tribal children and 70 pastors and teachers in the Philippines. The Lord has given us some creative ways of sharing the gospel through art and worship.  During the worship, the Lord moved mightily upon the  children. There was weeping in intercession and praises to God that lasted for several hours. 

 

IRELAND

  Our team ministered worship in music and art to a multitude of churches in both Southern and Northern Ireland. The purpose of the trip was to bring congregations together to participate in 24 hour worship services.
