Carnaval Arts Ministry

Once a year, we hold a week-long outreach during the time of Carnaval in Mazatlan, Mexico. We form various ministry and evangelism groups to reach the thousands who visit the city for this event. Artist groups who are locally-based and others who come for the outreach week use arts to share the gospel and connect with individuals on a heart-to-heart level. Oftentimes, groups implement dance, music, theater and visual arts; and there are possibilities for even more!

Art Evangelists School and Field Assignment (ATS 257 / ATS 258)

This school is designed to train artists to be agents of transformation in communities, cities and nations. Students are trained in the biblical basis for creating art, with an emphasis on three areas: God’s character, heart purity and the position of the artist, and the means to communicate the message. The technical skills offered include: drawing, painting, ceramics, textiles, and sculpture.
