An Unexpected Blessing

Nicole Krajewski is an artist.  I guess that I knew that at some level because she has been involved with CGI for some time as the Daughters Project dress designer.  On trips to to Cambododia I have watched her freehand a new dress style from across the aisle on the plane and have been amazed but as you will see in the series of pictures below she is truly a gifted artist.

The series of paintings below was commissioned by Common Ground Christian Church for Easter.  They are an iconic stylized representation that tells the story of Christ's last week before his ascension.  Painted in just two weeks they measure 3' wide and 4' high. 








Recently an offer was made to purchase four of these painting for a total $1,500.  Nicole accepted that offer but rather than taking the money herself she asked that the check be made out to Center for Global Impact!  This truly was an unexpected blessing! On behalf of this ministry and those who will benefit directly from this gift we want to express our appreciation.  PTL! and pass the paintbrush! 

That reminds me ... I am suppose to be painting at the office today.  Updates tomorrow will include pictures of the progress on our new office (carpet went in yesterday!) AND a report from Chef Paul Vida who arrived back in Cambodia earlier this morning.

Until ALL have heard,
Chris
