Art with a Purpose
Have you seen the brilliance of hundreds or perhaps even thousands of candles at a Christmas Eve church service? After everyone is given a candle, the first candle is lit. Then each candle ignites the next. And soon the entire venue is filled with the radiant light.
Pamela hopes to be one such candle. She is currently painting a series of Russian orphan children, entitled Children of the Russian Arctic. These children have lived through difficult situations. Some of them have lost both parents. However, many have parents who are still living, but they carry the label “social orphans" because of their parent’s alcohol abuse or other serious circumstances.
Russian Ministries has invited Pamela to partner with them to help send these orphans to summer camp where they’ll play games, learn to swim, and watch puppet shows that introduce them to Jesus.
To help these children go to camp, Watercolor by Pamela will donate to Russian Ministries all the profit after taxes from the sale of the paintings Sunflower and Silent Night."
One artist may not be able to change the plight of four to five million homeless children throughout Russia and the Ukraine. But through the sale of her artwork, Pamela believes the first child can be reached, lighting the candle of hope. And with God’s help, the darkness would be dispelled as each child’s candle illuminates the next.
Jesus said to the people, "I am the light of the world. If you follow Me, you won’t be stumbling through the darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life." 1
