  • Reports from the first three Art Prayer Days 2002-2005
    Many 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.
