Genesis 1-1 Art Outreach "The Beauty of God's Creation"
We started off 2018 with a huge outreach by our very own Genesis 1-1 Art Ministry. Julia was able to get over 20 artist to partner with us and display art. The theme for the night was “The Beauty of God’s Creation”. It was a grand event with both fine arts and performing arts being displayed. We had people from all over the region and all ages from 2 to 92 years-old attend. It was an incredible scene of a united community and Christian artists. In all the events I’ve put together I had never witnessed such a unique gathering of so many different types of people. Everyone was completely blessed and was ministered to by the gospel and prayer.
Ruskin Heights
It was a very cold winter so many of our weekly prayer walks have been a bitter blessing. Julia and I have been preparing this lower-income neighborhood through prayer for 8 months now. The feeling is that God has something big in the works for Ruskin Heights. Recently I have met with people from three different churches and they are all excited to be a part of an evangelistic outreach for the people of Ruskin
GXKC (Global Xpressions Kansas City)
We are blessed to help lead out a local ministry of GX International here in Kansas City. As this letter goes out, we will be hosting an open audition for recruiting new dancers into GXKC. We are hearing good feedback and expect to see auditions from different age groups across the metropolitan.
GX International The international team is currently in Barbados until the end of March. They will help with GXKC for two weeks and then it's off to South Korea! In Barbados, they are able to go into every school and preach the gospel. It's a very big campaign so Team Xtreme and Island Breeze are there as well to do hundreds of school assemblies and main event outreaches. The team is growing and has the potential to gain huge momentum this year as we continually fill up the schedule. Julia and I help with that as we run admin here for the Kansas City extension while they travel. We always keep them in prayer and hope you would join us for this historic moment in Barbados.
