I was commissioned by the Lausanne Movement to transcribe their four pillar vision into a series of paintings: "The Gospel For Every Person", "An Evangelical Church for Every People", "Christ-like Leaders for Every Church", and "Kingdom Impact In Every Sphere Of Society".  This giclee' print is a museum quality reproduction of the original painting of "Pillar 1: The Gospel For Every Person".  Each print is carefully color matched and professionally printed using the highest archival quality materials in a limited, 24 numbered and signed edition.  The sale of these 24 prints will fund the painting of the second pillar, "An Evangelical Church for Every People".

I was so honored and equally challenged by this opportunity to paint such a monumental subject.  What image could possibly capture the magnitude of God's heart for the limitless diversity of humanity and culture?  The process of painting was the act of wrestling with this question, and I could feel myself stretching internally to try to embrace and internalize the scope of God's great commission.  The result is my painted prayer that the gospel reach every person on earth, and my hope is that the Holy Spirit will stretch and inspire its viewers with an increased passion to share the good news of Jesus Christ, even as I have been changed painting it.  May the Lord bless the Lausanne Movement as it coordinates leaders worldwide in this effort.

To highlight some ingredients that were placed in the painting: a central fisherman is casting his net over the entire world, seen from an unexpected vantage, sparkling with the glowing light of the central cross, scattered across every part of the globe, reflecting the current population densities in bursts of blue and white, and groaning that the growing light would expand to flood the remaining darkness beyond...

The Original Acrylic on Panel Painting was 19.75 x 32”

A new “full size” giclee edition of 100 is available at the original 19.75x32” size of the painting.

The first edition of giclee prints were 13.5 x 22” in a very limited series of 24.

The second edition 12.5x20” print series of 250 is slightly smaller than the first limited edition of only 24 images. Shipping and insuring these larger and costly works flat or even rolled in a tube is a costly endeavor (time and material), so please note the reason for shipping charges and when possible click “no shipping fee” if you are local to me in Charlotte, NC and we can arrange a personal hand off.
