Last November, OM ministry leaders from Finland, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy, Central Europe and the OM Ships invested a day discovering how professional artists are effectively declaring the Gospel through the arts on the mission field. The participants explored how the arts can be integral in reaching the world for Christ and how artists can be effective team members in OM. OM Arts Director Bill Drake defined the vision and growth plans for the newly formed OM Arts International. Colin Harbinson, consultant and catalyst for arts in missions, encouraged the need for professional artists in missions and warned that "art done poorly communicates poorly." Quoting writer A.W. Tozer, Harbinson affirmed that, "Christians are obligated to excellence because God is supremely excellent." A leadership training seminar for artists preparing for missions will take place in Rome in July 2010. For more information please contact info.arts@om.org.
Prayer Points
1. Pray for the release of more artists into missions, using their art as a bridge to sharing Jesus.
2. Pray for the growth in this new OM initiative.
