All 20 Pilgrims!


Here is the final list of Pilgrims.  The last one volunteered today, and now we're set.  I've enjoyed the painting in my own home where I read in the mornings.  To glance over at Jesus' face during prayer was quite an experience.  Thoughts of the song "I Can Only Imagine" came to mind as to "what it would be like" to literally see His face.  Oh, when that day comes, I'll be so happy!  The veil will be lifted literally.  Who know the hour?  The tour continues! Congratulations to these wonderful people who have been called to this experience!  May God bless you as He reveals a little more of Himself to you through this painting.  This painting that was done for this purpose that He put on my heart to do.  I wish you all the best.

Ready to go!


"Facing Jesus" has been in my home for the past 2 weeks.  I've loved having a visual presence of His face next to where I sit and read, pray and have coffee in the mornings.  It's an icon of strength, tenderness, love, comfort and mercy right there.  It is ready to be sent to the next Pilgrim!  The actual TOUR begins!  Thank you to all of you who have agreed to be Pilgrims the next year.  This is going to be an amazing ministry!  You will be blessed....

To be one of the 20 Pilgrims, email me on Sunday, April 5th!  In your email, please say in a short sentence why this experience seems to be "for you."  If you simply want to volunteer, that is fine too. But please include your name and address.  I will only show your city/state/country.  Read all about the experience in the previous post and agree to all the terms.  It is my wish that this be an artful, spiritual experience for each Pilgrim who wishes to participate.  Please become a FOLLOWER in the sidebar to keep up with all the events that the painting experiences!

This experience is open to anyone, anywhere and of any faith!  

Peace & blessings,

A Face of Jesus
(not "Facing Jesus")

Details of the Facing Jesus Tour will be announced April 5th, 2009 Palm Sunday with the "unveiling" here on the blog of the actual painting.  It will be size 8x8 on canvas.
"Facing Jesus" will be shipped to arrive at first Recipient’s address by April 12th, 2009 Easter Sunday.  Details of the Tour will be featured on Facing Jesus Blog (www.facingjesus.blogspot.com) will be updated as much as possible or at least weekly.  "Facing Jesus" will be auctioned at the end of the Tour--only to the Pilgrim Group!

I will want to see a couple of photographs of the painting in your environment and want to have you email them so that I may use them on the Facing Jesus Blog. Each Pilgrim will be allowed to sign his/her name on the back of the painting. When your time with the painting is up, you will ship it to the next Pilgrim, sharing in the ministry and furthering it on to others who wish to feel Jesus’ presence more fully!

At the end of the Facing Jesus Tour, the painting with every Pilgrim's signature will go up for auction among the Pilgrim group and be awarded to the highest bidder where the painting will be that Pilgrim's forever!
