The New Generation exhibition has just been seen during a week long staging at the Wokingham Baptist church as part of a weeks community celebration and renewal involving 12 churches and a large volunteer effort to improve run down facilities in the town. It was called the Big Idea.
A team of volunteers were on hand to assist, explain and pray with people who sought help and guidance. Hundreds of people came to see the paintings every day, and some came back day after day. One lady said, “I have seen the exhibition more than once this week. It is the closest I have felt to Christ in a long time.” Others said “astounding” and “inspirational”.

Tomorrow is another day. And all those who have prayed and staffed this exhibition have found it such a privilege to hear some very sad stories, but to offer hope in Christ.
One 82 year old lady, shared her childhood abuse (I wasn’t there then), one little lad from North Petherwin School prayed a beautiful prayer, and one boy from Jacobstow school came back and said (as he had on a previous assembly I took) “I came not believing in god, but now after seeing these pictures I do believe in God”.
Another woman, a confessed atheist, walked in today and physically cried as she passed by the pictures depcting abortion and abuse. Much healing is going on, and God will have his way.
These are just a snippet of what God is doing - so glad we have this for another week.

A wondrous day with my first school: Boyton, with 17 children and 3 adults. They wanted to stay the whole day. Some comments from the book.
- Very moving indeed and very inspiring and helpful. Thank you.
- An amazing collection of thought provoking paintings. The children really enjoyed their experience today - Thank you so much for your kindness.
- (This teacher wants to come back with her brother)
(The mini bus driver wants to come back with wife and children) - Very inpsiring - bringing the Bible and our faith to life. The children and ourselves have gained so much from being able to share with you today. Thank you for your help and for sharing your Christian faith through deed and action. CF
- Rushed through! then found out they were on display for longer, we will be back!
- Thank you! A revelation and extremely thought provoking……….
- Thank you for allowing the children to come to this outstanding art exhibition.
- Though it is an art exhibition, it is also a spiritual journey through the Bible: the story of creation, the fall, and the Creator’s solution through the death and resurrection of the Christ, and on to revelation. It is indeed a remarkable piece of ‘living’ art, speaking afresh each time we look and gaze.
The 17 children that came were extremely well behaved and good mannered. So was the mini-bus driver!
I was very impressed with the lesson preparation that the staff had done for this session and it worked well with how I envisioned it to be.
Having brought their own art materials the children set to work on their own interpretation of the paintings, choosing a favourite one, classifying and describing it then looking through a viewfinder, to do more detailed work.
The children really appreciated that the more they looked the more they found - and they found the shepherd in the picture of the Vine. very well done, and congratulations on a well behaved class.
