Reports
- Who is behind this initiative?The ART PRAYER DAYS is an initiative of "ARTS +", the artist's track of "Hope for Europe" (European Evangelical Alliance). The organising office: international headquarters of "Crescendo" (ministry of professional classic musicians) - see www.crescendo.org
- Reports from the first three Art Prayer Days 2002-2005Many artists (actors, painters, classical, jazz, rock and pop musicians, writers, dancers…) were praying for spiritual renewal in the arts. We recieved reports about prayer gatherings in the following countries: AUSTRA, BRAZIL, BULGARIA, CANADA, FINLAND, FRANCE, GERMANY, HUNGARY, INDONESIA, LATVIA, LITHUANIA, MEXICO, MONGOLIA, NETHERLANDS, PHILIPPINES, RUSSIA, SWITZERLAND, USA. Artists in FRANCE (within the “Psalmodia” music schools) started a 7 day prayer chain. In LATVIA the event was mentioned by the national broadcast program – and 200 artists came to a big worship and prayer evening in Riga (2003). On the PHILIPPINES artists sent each other text messages and had a wonderful gathering in Manila. In the USA students gathered on Monday morning on campuses. Many church services around the world had a special intercession time for our requests.

Why these Prayer Days?
- The arts in our societies are very important! Many people are searching the arts not only for entertainment and inspiration but also for answers to life’s questions. Art is influencing our minds and therefore our behaviour. What a chance for Christian artists to point out the hope of the gospel either through their works – in a professional, not kitschy way! - and in conversations and interviews. Many positive responses to “The Passion” have shown that people can be reached with the Christian message through the arts. (The movie has just been nominated for most popular film of 2004!) Christian artists need prayer because they are ambassadors of God in this world even when creating art works without a specific “Christian” content. And let’s pray for non-Christian artists, too. That they would be receptive to God’s love and the Gospel in spite of many painful misunderstandings between the art world and the church.

Hosts of artists will be heading to China next summer to join in cultural exchange. This is a great opportunity to share cultural diversity in unity while softening hearts and the soil of the land.

I am the Art Director for Jews for Jesus. We use the arts (drama, singing, graphic design, illustration, video) to communicate the gospel to our Jewish people (and everyone else!) We are having a world-wide day of prayer on April 15, 2008, but I'd like to hear about your plans for the March prayer days.

The student Bible group of Manhattan School of Music in NYC will gather on March 29th to have a prayer walk for the Worldwide Arts Prayer Days.
We are happy to join Christian artists around the world to pray for each other. We will pray for our impact on our school, on our city, on our country and in the world.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
my name is Patrizia and I am a committed Christian from Turin, Italy. I have been blessed with a special heart for secular musicians and singers. Of any style, from Europe. Special artists who have not been conquered by Jesus’ Special Love yet. I am sure that many feel trapped and try to cope in a system that wants to exploit them. Many may even be prodigal sons/daughters, deceived by the official religion and fallen into their own religion. Whatever struggle they are in, I care. I feel compassion and want to be there especially for them. I know too often they are not what they appear. I often feel behind a song there is a soul striving to be heard. I feel compassion, so I started my blog.
I want to encourage you to go ahead with your artistic project, and if my thoughts have touched your heart, please contact me. I am also open for mutual help, I have a strong sense of cooperation, speak five languages and believe distances must not be of any obstacle. Be blessed and please, be passionate! THANK YOU!
