Evoke Ministries hosts a monthly creative gathering in hopes to bring together people with all types of creative giftings. The purpose is to stir one another up to fulfill creative evangelistic projects that the world is in such great need of. We have been given gifts, and we are desperately needed to serve the purposes of God. We have a duty to rise up, participate & create for the body of Christ. The body of Christ is suffering without the role of the imaginative, creative believer.
The forum is a relaxed, creative atmosphere where everyone can share about current projects they are involved with, or cast visions about ideas they have. We also gain from hearing others experiences by collectively sharing our wisdom and passions for the creative arts and evangelistic means by which they can be executed. The exhortation of surrendering all time and talents to our God is always a focus.
Our aim is that we can all personally surrender ourselves to the call of God to reach our generation with the message of Christ and to do this by the means of the creative gift that had been administered to each of us.
My hope is that if you have never thought of using your gift for an evangelistic purpose I propose that you begin to ask the Lord about this and meditate on what part you play in the body.
What is our role as creatives?
What is our part in the kingdom?
What part do we play in the salvation & discipleship of the world?
By creatives I mean anyone gifted with and exercising a creative or technical gift; visual artists, designers, camera operator, musicians, poets, video editing, painters, photographers, illustrators, dancers, skateboarders, writers, filmmakers, visionaries, sculptors, etc.
1 Peter 4:10 Amplified
As each of you has received a gift, a particular talent, a gracious divine endowment, employ it for one another as good trustees of God’s many-sided grace. Be good stewards of the extremely diverse powers and gifts granted to us by his unmerited favor.
Whether or not you have a creative talent or wish to develop one, or are an evangelist at heart or wish to be one, you are invited to come and experience the fellowship of the creative believers.
