OM Artists Unite

October 26-29, 2015 we joined fellow OM Arts International artists for a retreat near Atlanta, Georgia.  This is the 7th anniversary of OM Arts and was a good time to reflect on what God has done through our team so far and how He is leading us from here.

At this time there are 50 of us artists in 12 countries, with 11 of these countries having full time arts ministry.

Just in the last 4 years:
-Over 517 artist have been mobilized on short-term mission trips.
-95 short term mission trips have occurred in over thirty countries.
-118 artist and leaders have attended an OM Arts training event.
-109,500 people have heard the Gospel directly from an OM Arts team, plus millions more via Satellite TV.
-7 full-time arts ministry leaders have been placed on the field.

We are thankful to be part of this unique ministry sharing God's love around the world through the Creative Arts.

Some of us were stretched more than others during one of our sessions where we had to both pose for and draw a partners portrait.
Posing for and drawing portraits.
At the retreat, Katie discovered she had survived a morning run with this scorpion in her shoe!
