Flyingbow Impacts Artists

I love the network of support Flyingbow provides for artists, both spiritually and artistically in terms of coming together to do things in community. The diversity of the ministry is also a blessing to me because we are all coming from different places and cultures to strengthen one another and truly reflect the different aspects and variety of the Kingdom.

This year we had the privilege of running our arts camp for its 9th year. A beautiful lodge in a conservation area hosted 13 girls for a week of Bible study, worship, dance, drama, and connecting with God. Donors through Flyingbow helped make this life changing week possible!

Romans 12:15: 'Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn' … Flyingbow has been hands and feet to this verse. As Indigenous people we have for too long been misunderstood and limited by the Church. We never wanted handouts, we needed a hand up and Flyingbow has been instrumental in that healing journey.

Flyingbow has provided a level of spiritual and artistic accountability and a financial support-base that is really important to me in my calling as a musician. I no longer feel like I am alone. I am a part of a community - a rich, God-honouring movement that is bigger than myself. It is an honour and thrill to be associated with this Arts-sending Missionary Organization!

I have really appreciated the opportunity with Flyingbow to join a community of people who are passionate about missions work across Canada and abroad, and to have accountability and support in my own journey as a musician.

One of the main attraction points in partnering with Flyingbow was the opportunity to expand my music ministry with a variety of different creative ministry objectives. Specifically, Flyingbow’s ministry objectives of evangelism through music and the arts and providing instructional seminars for effective ministry are two objectives that align with my personal ministry goals.

Why am I here? What is my calling? What is my purpose? These thought provoking questions sometimes do not have the simplest answers yet my reason for being a part of Flyingbow is clear. I am here with this collective group of artists who first have a passion for the Kingdom. Our love and commission to share the Gospel brings us together as artists of different ethnicities, talents, spiritual gifts and love for Jesus.

As a Christian musician I was attracted to Flyingbow’s commitment to excellence and the integrity of its mission statement in reaching out through the arts with the Gospel of Christ. I was also very impressed with Flyingbow's desire to minister to the most vulnerable in our World.

We’ve loved collaborating with other members of the Flyingbow artist team in worship and outreach. It’s truly a joy to work as an artist within a larger artistic community, sharing the same purpose.

As a ministry It feels like we are a family, not an organization. We are brothers and sisters together with a common Christ-centred purpose and focus in all we do.

Flyingbow is a community - it feels like family. Not only that, it feels like a family with a unified goal, mindset, and passion. That sort of unity really encourages me and keeps me accountable!

I was really attracted to how Flyingbow's mission is to share the Gospel and empower others to worship Jesus through music and the arts, which God has called me to do since I was young.
