SUMMARY:YWAM Boston Art Show
DESCRIPTION:2017 ANNUAL ART SHOW! \nAre you looking for Christmas gifts for friends and/or family? On December 8th\, YWAM Boston will be hosting our annual art show! This will be a time for the students of our Discipleship Training School to share the art that they have created in the school over the past three months as well as some of our staff’s art! \nOur heart is to display the gifts that God has given us in a way that both ministers to other people and is glorifying to Him. Those who come will have the opportunity to purchase the art and photos to help fund our outreach this coming January. There will be live entertainment and snacks. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to sow into our students’ callings and our mission to know God and make God known throughout the world! We hope to see you there!
