Each day that the exhibition is open the atmosphere and the things that happen are always different. Wednesday was a day of deep gentle work. The peace in the place was wonderful and people sat in front of paintings for a long time.
It was a time where I and others had the opportunity to pray with individuals all day, from 10 o’clock in the morning till 7.00pm. Tiring but a wonderful priviledge!

Thursday was totally different. Before it opened, we were praying for the people who might come in to the exhibition, and we felt that the Lord gave us the word “salvation”.

The exhibition is being hosted at the church where I am employed as an outreach worker. Every day during the week we have the church open in the morning so that folk can come in and have a drink, breakfast and a chat.One of the ladies who has come along nearly every day for a year since we opened it, came yesterday to help with the exhibition. She was impacted by the painting called “joy” in the foyer and we began to talk. We then went into the church and she gave her life to Jesus in front of the crown of thorns.

If the exhibition only came to the church for that one lady and we opened the church every day for coffee, for a year..it was worth all the effort to see her smiling face. Great parties in heaven yesterday then!!
