Artful Ministry

An introduction to a series of blogs about my ministry of playing music for a church's impoverished neighborhood.

I explain how music can be more powerful than words in expressing God's emotions on our behalf that are shown by Jesus Christ.

The intention of my music ministry is to offer friendship in the spirit of Jesus offering his friendship to his followers. This stands in stark contrast to fear tactics often used to evangelize.
