April 2024 Events:
April 5: Immanuel Elementary School Assembly - We had such a blast with these students. Our message? To let these kids know that they are God's masterpiece, created with a meaning and a purpose to do good works. Thank you Immanuel Schools and Tristan Ringhofer (so good to see you again, Tristan!) for having us. Your students and teachers were a blessing to us.
April 9 & 11: Sundale Union Elementary Art Classes - Not pictured here, but we got to teach some drawing and painting classes with an awesome group of students. Thanks Brian Griffin for inviting us out! We had such a blast working with your staff and students.
April 17: School Assembly at Indianola Elementary School in Selma - We had two school assemblies for the different grade levels to help inspire them, get pumped up for testing, and to remind them that their character matters.
April 19: The River's Edge Ranch Fundraiser in Fontana, CA - We got invited to paint live to help raise funds for this amazing organization that serves men who seek to recover from substance abuse using manual labor, animal assisted therapy, faith and service. Our paintings were auctioned off to help them meet their fundraising goal. Check out this amazing ministry if you get the chance. https://www.theriversedgeranch.org/
April 20: Awaken Youth Conference in San Francisco - I was invited to Glad Tidings Church in SF to paint and share the message that we are God's ambassadors, called to fulfill the Great Commission. There were about 300 students there. Isaiah and I were able to see so many of them come to Christ and experience deliverance from all over the Bay Area. It was beautiful to witness.
April 28: Hope Church Community Picnic - I was asked to speak at Memorial Park for Hope Kingsburg for their Community Picnic. The message? To reflect Christ so that people can see Jesus in us. A hard message, but needed in our world that is full of brokenness and suffering. Thank you Clayton Paull for inviting me and allowing me to be a part of this event.
May 2024 Events:
May 9: Student Art Show Rafer Johnson Junior High School - This was such a cool event. We were able to perform and share our love of art with all the students and parents that attended. There was some amazing artwork done by young aspiring artists. Our message was to inspire them to continue with art even into adulthood. Art is a beautiful gift that we need to see more of.
May 18: Hispanic Conference at Mountain View Church and Swedish Festival in Downtown Kingsburg - It was a crazy Saturday morning, but God is good. I had an event in Fresno at Mountain View Church to speak to students about waking up from their sleep and getting up to fulfill the calling that God has placed on their lives. I drove back to Kingsburg for the Swedish Festival to help with the outreach RAM was putting on. It was an amazing time. We got to pray for people and I had someone pray to receive Christ and trust Him with her daily life. God is good.
May 20: Tcaps Traver Outreach - My dad was asked to do this event on Monday evening, but our entire family got hit with a pretty rough flu. Dad was out, so I stepped in. Gideon and I had an awesome time painting with this community. Afterwards, I performed and gave the Gospel message. Got to pray for people and see some old friends I haven't seen in awhile. Thanks Rachel Wood for having me out and allowing me to be a part of this. It was a blessing for us to be there.
Thank you to all our supporters and prayer warriors who have been praying for me, my family, and the ministry. God is doing some amazing things and He just keeps opening more doors.
