Art for Africa!!!

Please consider supporting our team's trip to Africa this summer by purchasing a painting of an African boy or girl!!! It will look amazing on that blank wall of yours, you can look at it and smile, knowing that you have given to God's Kingdom work in South Africa, and it can serve as a reminder to pray for God's children overseas! Here is the official lineup of the paintings I have done and hope to sell:

"HOW ARE YOU" (18"x24") $50

We lovingly call this child "how are you" because he used to only know two phrases in English: "how are you" and "I am fine" Watch the video below to see "How are You" receive his first pair of shoes a few years back when a mission team from Fresno came up to serve:

"VONI" (18"x 24") $50

Voni lives in the hut nearest to our Mission Station in Mavhusa. It's hard to walk through the village without little Voni running up to us and hugging our legs.

"HEAVEN" (18"x 24") $50

Children in Africa have beautiful names. "Heaven" is a reminder of what is to come!

"MIRIAM" (24" x 48") $100

Another one of my favorite children! We also call this girl "superglue" as she love to attach herself to the JAM missionaries when we come to visit

"MOSES" (18"x 24") $50

Moses is a young refugee from Mozambique who, until recently, has lived in a refugee village called Zone 2. A few months ago, the South African government forced its inhabitants to leave their homes and seek refuge in neighboring villages. We pray often for the children of Zone 2 and hope to re-connect with them on our trip

"CELEBRATION" (18"x 24") $50

The first thing I notice about children in Africa is their joy! African children know how to celebrate and find joy among immeasurable circumstances. They are the strongest children I know.

"JABULANI" (24"x 48") $100

Jabulani means "rejoice" in Swahili. These children are rejoicing at a Children's Outreach, which includes games, songs, a lot of hugs, and a message of God's love

"STEPHEN" (18"x 24") $50

With 60% of the African population under the age of 18, little boys like Stephen are the face of Africa. They are not the future leaders, but the NOW leaders. That is why Discipleship and character development are so important

"GRACE" (24"x 48") $100

This is another girl from Zone 2 with her little sister. Older children are often given the responsibility of caring for their siblings as we see villages full of children toting babies around with the on their backs.

"BLESSING" (24"x 48") $100

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. -James 1:27

And if you can't afford a medium or large sized painting, I've made each one into a smaller version (8"x 10") for only $10 each!...

If you are interested in purchasing any of these paintings, please let me know by responding to this blog, or emailing me at mmeyer882@gmail.com. Thank you SO much for being a participant in God's movement in Africa!
