Attention Friends of Beth Moore

This is great news, ladies! Beth Moore has blessed me with rights to use any of her books or workbooks as props and her writings as story themes for new paintings. Maybe one of Beth Moore's books or Bible Studies has painted a beautiful picture in your heart that the Lord could use as a visual reminder of that Spiritual Marker Moment to help others. Your Church or Bible Study Group may want to consider going together for a commissioned painting for your church or as a Gift of Appreciation for someone in your church. Canvas reproductions (Giclees) may also be produced so others may have a "life like" copy of the original painting. Beth will receive copies of each reproduced painting.

Beth's first children's books and are props in a painting in progress, "Momma's Little Princess." This Original Oil Painting will be available to purchase to help finance the print edition.

How Can You or Your Church Support This Ministry ?

There are so many more vehicles (or tools) to get THE WORD out than what we are aware of. I’ve come to realize that an Art-Ministry is so out of the ordinary, but paintings have a great impact on our lives because of the VISUAL MESSAGES they plant in our hearts and memory. God uses Faith-Based Paintings as constant reminders of His will for our lives.

Ways you or your organization can help:

1) Schedule a Speaking Engagement for a Church Function or School Event

I share my testimony and the stories of how God inspires my work and I point out the intentional (as well as the divinely placed) messages that are incorporated into each painting. Everyone is encouraged to use their gifts and talents to glorify God.

2) Schedule an Art Exhibition

3) Plan for a Commissioned Painting such as:

A Story-Painting like "Born to Serve" and "The Great Commission" or even a golf scene or landscape.

A Story-Painting is a wonderful ministering tool to honor a loved-one, your pastor, or even something for yourself to share with others. They are visual legacies for our children (tomorrow's leaders). Paintings that tell Bible-Stories are great for the churches and our homes. Maybe you would like a painting of the birth of Jesus, His boyhood, or the Last Supper the way you imagine it. Or maybe a picture of the Samaritan woman at the well with Jesus. A Landscapes of memorable places are also great choices. You have the option of selecting an inspirational message or scripture to be incorporated into your painting.

4) Present a Print or Canvas Reproduction as a Retirement Gift or a Gift of Appreciation

5) Faithful Prayers are a Vital Organ to the Success of This Ministry

6) Make a Commitment for Financial Support

Your support will give you or your church family the opportunity to own and display your favorite paintings.

A Commitment Of

Will Support

$25 a month - for a year

Any Large Framed Signed and Numbered Print

$60 a month - for a year

Any Large Framed Signed and Numbered Canvas Giclée

With your support, you have my promise to be:

Committed to Reclaiming the Arts for the Cause of Christ and share the gospel in as many places as the Lord provides.
I am accountable to God and to fellow believers for the responsible use of my support. Therefore, I will use the support God provides in accordance with biblical and practical stewardship.
Tithing is the primary responsibility of a Christian to his or her home church. I will never encourage believers to support this Art-Ministry at the expense of supporting their local church.

Call or email me with your questions or concerns. And thank you in advance for your prayers, encouragement, and support, and for your assistance in helping get THE WORD out through this unique art-ministry!

In Christ,
Joyce Girgenti
