Rescue Haiti’s Children - Original Art Sale
How would you like to own one of my original paintings?
How would you like to help the orphans in Haiti at the same time?
***UPDATE: Click here for the update on my art sale!***
Mr. Doug Phillips and a group of men have just arrived in Haiti to help the many orphans and victims of the recent earth quake. You can read the details on Mr. Phillips’ blog. Keep updated on the Rescue Haiti’s Children mission by following their Facebook page and Twitter feed. Mr. Phillips writes,
My mission to Haiti is four-fold: First, I will be establishing one of the only distinctively Christian reporting operations to tell stories of both the present crisis and the work of Christians on behalf of the sick and the widows and the orphans in the midst of Haiti’s present horror. Second, I will be working to facilitate the rescue and delivery of orphans to Christian families in America. Third, I will be identifying specific families that need direct support from the people of God in America. Fourth, my team will be providing specific relief to people in distress. Read more . . .
This is a critical time for Haiti, and the Rescue Haiti’s Children team needs our open hearts and financial support. Maybe you can’t travel to Haiti, or even adopt an orphan. But perhaps you could give . . . even a little?
As for my art: Over the next several days I will be creating six pieces of original art. As a fund-raiser, I will be donating all profit from these six original paintings to the Rescue Haiti’s Children. Each piece will be based on Matthew 25:35-36:
For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.
I will be posting the paintings as they are created and made available for sale. Until now, I have never sold any original pieces. Each one will never be made available again as no prints will be made. All profit will be going to the Rescue Haiti’s Children project.
Or, if you can’t wait to give, donate now by going here.

What a beautiful and generous idea, Breezy. :)
When I first read Mr. Phillips’ announcement the other day, I was so excited and relieved. My heart has been broken ever since I first read that due to the earthquake and all it destroyed, adoptions from Haiti had been closed. It’s such a relief to know that Mr. Phillips and others are over there striving to facilitate adoptions. What wonderful work!
How exactly will this sale work? Being that there will be simply one of each print available, how will people go about buying them? I suppose it will be a first come first served type of thing?
I look forward to seeing your beautiful designs. Again, this is a wonderful idea of yours, Breezy. I so appreciate your servant’s heart.
Love in Christ,
Rebekah

Great idea, Breezy:)
Our family has been waiting for the right project to donate to–we too, will be supporting this project.
May the Lord use the humble efforts of His people to bring help to the needy and poor~if the Lord allowed, we would be more than willing to adopt one of these little ones…

Thanks everyone!
@Miss Rebekah Ann: I will be selling the paintings in my Etsy shop. They will be the actual paintings themselves so whoever buys them will have the original creation, and no prints will be made available for sale.

I am so excited about this project! There was such a frustration for me last week - being in the Dominican Republic, - close enough to feel the 6 mag. aftershocks, and yet still a world away in my ability to help Haiti. I was so glad to hear that Vision Forum is getting involved; and what a incredible way to contribute Breezy! Can’t wait to see the paintings.

Oh Breezy, that’s wonderful! I have ben wanting to do something for the people in Haiti ever since we heard about the earthquake. I am so glad that Vision Forum is helping! And Your idea is wonderful!
God Bless!
