Jonathan Bailey

I serve a network of artists and their communities. The tiny Southeast Asian island of Bali is the hub, a crossroads for musicians, dancers, painters, actors, and writers, but with spokes that extend outward and around the globe. With a small team of like-minded folk in Bali, I equip and empower artists to become the hands and feet of Jesus by attending to their professional and spiritual needs. Through their art, they in turn bring images of hope, love and togetherness to their own communities. 

In addition to ongoing training, together we create new works that bring attention to real-life needs, like the war in Ukraine or the plight of women in Iran. Local performances and exhibitions that result are live-streamed and made available as digital media that can be used by churches and others globally. Web-based virtual collaborations means that we can connect creatively irrespective of time and place. In short, the arts are one path to cultivating a connected and beloved community that brings Christ-like healing to the world. 

Donors to this ministry will have virtual access to what’s happening on the ground in Bali and beyond.
