In our media driven and media
shaped society communication must be channeled through all of the
senses. Throughout the western world and extending to other areas of the
world we are now in the culture of the artist rather than the culture of
the orator. This means that poets, song-writers, dancers, etc. must
stand (as) the proclaimer to make known the Good News of Jesus Christ
with maximum impact. The rapidly growing ministry of Artists in
Christian Testimony is helping to expand the horizons of
churches leaders (and Christian artists) as well as encouraging local
ministries to grasp the opportunities and challenges that we face today.
