Brenda is on a road trip across America, meeting artists and building relationships for future Bridge Artists work. She is also catching up with her longtime friend Adriane Bennett as they travel together. Here are some pictures from the road.

The trip is into its second week. She will be gone until June 12 so there are many miles left to cover. She has had some incredible experiences. Has met with artists in New Mexico, Arizona and California. She met a man connected with Focus on the Family who learned about her ministry. He is connecting her with some new ministry and artist connections and she was able to attend the celebration of life for one of her longtime mentors in California.

MY HIDING PLACE AND THE 25 ACRES

On Friday night our church hosted The Bridge Artistc Network’s , rendition of MY HIDING PLACE, a one-woman show chronicling the life and ministry of Corrie TenBoom.

We had about 50 people in the house on Friday night, many guests, and one young man gave his heart to Jesus at the end of the show!

Here are a few of my favorite Corrie TenBoom quotes.,

On Saturday our church hosted a brainstorming session as we begin to consider developing the 25 acres of property our church owns behind our building. We had about thirty people from the church and community interested in coming up with ideas about how to use the property.

It was the first of many meetings we will have around the subject, but it was a good start.

Our meetings always start with a conversation around creativity.

This month, our topic was, NEW THINGS/ CHANGE.

We finished our conversation by asking “How can we bring artistic impact to our surrounding community?”

We spitballed a lot of ideas about promoting the arts in our region. I will write in future about which of these ideas we begin to implement.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO BRING POSITIVE CHANGE IN YOUR COMMUNITY?
