Closing out 2020
So many of us want 2020 to be behind us, yet we are innately aware that 2021 holds many uncertainties too. We did not get the Coronavirus pandemic under control, and it looks as though it will have an effect on our live for months, if not years, to come.
As believers, we know that our sovereign God is in control and is working out His plan for good, but in the meantime we are all challenged with identifying how we fit within that scheme.
Are we contributing to the story that is unfolding? Are we helping others to trust in our Lord during this unsettled time? Are we using our gifts that were so uniquely bestowed upon us for His Glory? Hard questions bring us to our knees; searching for answers, direction, wisdom and peace.
The closures from the pandemic caused Christos Collective to pause and assess where we are at and where we want to go. With outreach minimized we decided to “in-reach.” It was time to evaluate our stakeholders and to determine where we had strengths and weaknesses, so that we could develop a strategy to build an infrastructure of stability before we reach out again.
Christos Collective’s artists and Board of Directors have been volunteering diligently to help us grown. It is time for compensation and structure that can establish a solid foundation to build upon. In prayer and pure faith we have begun to filter our minimal revenues to cultivate within. We would appreciate your prayers and donations to help us sustain.
Even though our physical exhibitions were cancelled due to the pandemic, we continued to create and seek new avenues to share our art. This led to a few virtual exhibitions in partnership with churches and universities. Offering our talents to visually complement their worship and teachings. We have learned new technology skills and alternative ways of communicating; not giving up on our call to reclaim God’s Voice in art.
We don’t know what the landscape and environment of 2021 will look or be like, but we do know that we are faithful servants, and Christos Collective artists will continue to create expressions of compassion and hope .
2021 here we come……..
