Teaching
We have many opportunities to partner with churches and ministries by teaching seminars, giving workshops, prayer ministry and counseling. We are available for Sunday morning services as well as other meetings. We teach both verbally and with hands-on instruction. The various subjects taught are: Gods Purposes for the Arts and Artist; The Arts in the Kingdom of God; Creativity in Worship; Flags in Worship, Intercession, and the Prophetic. Please see the teachings section of this site for online teachings.
We add new topics as the Holy Spirit teaches and gives us further revelations.
If you are interested in having us teach contact us at InHisShadow@live.net. We do not have a set fee but adhere to the biblical model of receiving our provision through the free-will offerings where we minister. At minimum, we need all of our travel expenses covered, as this is our livelihood. We prefer to stay in homes with people and share home-cooked meals to build relationships.
Pastoring Artists
As we are who we are and do what we're doing, we are being watched. We are setting an example for others, especially young people. Our lives are saying, "Come, worship the Lord with all your heart and with all your energy and creativity!" This is extravagant praise to the One who has loved us extravagantly by giving us His best and His most in Jesus.
However, in pastoring artists, we have not just been modeling. We have also been encouraging artists (visual, musical, performing and literary) to follow their artistic calls and use their art for the glory of God, in whatever capacity that may be, whether as a ministry tool or in advertising, clothing design or as a freelance artist (etc…).
Much of our pastoring of artists has been through our relationships and people that live with us, and partnering with other ministries. We also have a weekly Life Group at our house.
Ministering Prophetically
Wherever we worship, we come into agreement with what the Holy Spirit is doing through the worship team and leadership, whether that be through words, dance, song, flagging or other prophetic proclamations.
Frequently when ministering, the Lord will give us words of knowledge and prophetic words to minister corporately and/or individually.
Ministering Through Song and Poetry
Arnolda has been given many songs and poems from the Lord that she shares.
