Pick-A-Pocketeer


            I am now apart of the cool kids club. It’s better known as Pick A Pocket. This is probably the most radically creative group of young people to join together to further the calling on their lives. These artists reach for dreams that push the limits of imagination. Pick A Pocket sets goals that require the movement of nations. They have embraced the theory of dreaming big. Now I am apart of this radical group. I have been waiting more than a year to be called a Pocketeer. It is a good feeling to have accomplished this goal. It has been a long journey from my first introduction to PAP (Pick-A-Pocket) till now being introduced as a new member of PAP.
            What happens now? Art, utter chaotic creativity, and planning my attack against world poverty and injustice. I have been sent out with the promise of mountains being moved by my life’s work. I am trying to set that prophecy in to focus so I know which mountains need shifting. I have a fire in me for expansion, I want to see PAP grow and spread like ink over paper, creeping and soaking through the veins of the world. There is a lot of potential for PAP to grow, yet it is not about the number of people in the group, its about bring people together to move against the wickedness of the world. There is a solution to the injustice in world. It begins with the individual. I have been trying to do my part, now I am in a group, who has started what I have been dreaming of. I can feel huge things happening ahead.
            The first things I will be doing with PAP is helping out the Marriage of the Arts DTS running here at YWAM Herrnhut. It’s a school of 200 students from many nations around the world coming together to further their walk with God and collaborate their art with other students. I am helping with the fine art group. The students mainly draw and paint, but are encouraged to mix mediums as they create pieces of art. I have been helping critique and give tips as they work. I help talk students through their concepts and push them to take their art father then they have on their own.
            I will be taking a trip to Hamburg, Germany to help with a conference Pick A Pocket is exhibiting at. I will be helping set up the gallery and making sure the art is displayed in the best way possible. The conference is put on by Hope Dies Last, the goal of the weekend is to bring awareness to the people caught in the human trafficking world. The art displayed is aimed to bring dignity and glory to those who have gotten out the trafficking world. We are praying for pimps and prostitutes to be there to see the hope outside of trafficking, and to encourage those who have gotten out.
            Please pray for blessing for this conference and the school. We need housing for the staff of the conference, as well as the students when we go to Hamburg.
             Pray for the Pick a Pocket members and provision for the new studio space we have just gotten blessed with. We need chairs, tables, easles, and stuff for a little kitchenette. (just to keep us going as we work a way on our art down there).
            Please pray for my new house family, we are in a small apartment so we bump shoulders a lot. We all love living there, we just need for increased grace and love for each other. I live with 5 great men of God, and I look forward to our friendship as we live together.
            A praise is we finally have wifi at our house and a working washer machine. And huge fridge!
            I have just found a bicycle the needs a little air but that will make my walk to work be cut down by 25 minutes!
            Go God.
