Ways to Help Others

Art 2 Heart
This unique arts ministry is all about igniting our God given creativity to impact others and to share the gospel around the world. It has both a gift shop and online shop that sell goods made by both people in need and others who have a heart to help those in need. A non-profit, it is 100% volunteer staffed and donates to groups around the world, that are working to house, feed, protect, educate, and love women and children in need. I sell my work at the gift shop but also design many of the products made by our volunteer groups and artisan co-op. So if you'd like to purchase some of my work or designs and help others, or just learn more, check out our website at art2heart.myshopify.com
