Since the Faith & Fellowship issue on Art and the Church was published, an exciting opportunity has come up. Fellow youth workers in the area of Olympia, Washington are organizing the recording and production of a compilation worship album. Local Christians will write all the songs and the proceeds from concerts and CD sales will go directly to fund a citywide youth mission trip to Poland next spring. We just spent two days recording in the studio and are excited to continue production. It is great to contribute to the wider church across denominational lines!

I recently passed the one-year mark of creating art in Ithaca, New York. Though I am not world famous, regionally known, or even locally famous, God has been faithful to me as an artist. After six months of living, working, and creating art, I was able to show my work at the world-famous vegetarian Moosewood Restaurant. They were booked through 2011, but a spot opened up and I had a show for five weeks. I was also blessed to sell one of my pieces to a pastor at the church we attend. Soon thereafter, he even used the piece in a sermon as a visual illustration. Almost all the pieces I've made since moving to Ithaca are currently in a café at a local church, which just moved into a new building. I was asked to display my art as their first show.  Presently, I am moving into a season where I will have more time designated to create more artwork. I look forward to discovering new ways to display God's faithfulness and presence in my life.
