Julia and I will embark on another adventure as Otterness Missions. As you know, Otterness Missions is about the work we do with different ministries. What you may not know is I originally got involved with GX International as a cook. I’ve done a little bit of everything in the ministry up to now. Even kicked off my boots once and danced. LOL. I will once again serve this amazing ministry by presenting my Culinary Art to the GX dancers. They will arrive from around the world to Antigua in the Carribbeans. GX will engage in an intense dance boot camp consisting of up to 8-hour days. They will learn all choreography and positions for the tour. I will be there to cook all the boot camp meals and keep them nutritionally healthy.
Genesis 1:1 Fine Art Ministry is blessed to bring the “Days of Creation” Workshops to the nation of Antigua. Julia will partner with local artist to host a series of one day workshops. We are looking to do several of these during the two week span from Oct. 27th to Nov. 12th. At the end of each workshop Julia will present the Gospel of Jesus and do altar calls. Our hope is to travel the entire nation preaching through the arts. All this while GX and other performance teams go around the islands simultaneously reaching different demographics while preaching the gospel.
We could use your help for prayer. There are many needs listed below
All the artist workshops to come together
Hosts, Materials, Workers, Artists
A good connection for groceries that are affordable
At least one good prep cook for every day (8 days) of bootcamp
Patience, because all of this will be on island time*.
Plenty of good rest. These tours can really wear you out.
Finances for airfare and fees
Our total cost for airfare is $1,880.
We are also required to pay team fees totalling $300.
Plus, if you would like to help with extra spending money, we plan to take a day off to celebrate 7 years of marriage! Our actual anniversary date is Nov. 17th, but since we’re on an island and all.
*Island Time: The time vacuum created by the ocean's presence where everything moves nice and slow. This carefree aura even has the ability to travel with islanders and can engulf you in their presence.
