This summer, ETO will again be hosting a chalk art seminar in conjunction with the Carpathian Mountain Outreach project. Gospel chalk artist Christie Ballmann will be teaching a Phase I course for CMO 2008 team members and several of our staff missionaries. The chalk seminar itself will last five days. Upon completion of the course, each participating team member will be able to draw two or three complete pictures, in addition to possessing a general skill set with which they can further their repertoire in the future. Throughout the CMO project, we will hold regular open-air outreaches during which the men will have the opportunity to use their new chalk art skills in presenting the Gospel to Ukrainians. They will also have the opportunity to preach through an interpreter.
We have used chalk art for the past two years during CMO (see pictures) and have found it to be an exciting and effective means of proclaiming Christ in a public setting. Christie Ballmann is giving of her own time and money to travel to Ukraine for this event, and we are very grateful for her contribution to the ministry. We feel that chalk art is an excellent way to communicate the Gospel, and we hope that the skills learned during this seminar will be useful to the CMO men in years to come as they continue to preach Christ.
