We are ArtServe International, a family of artists who serve under-resourced communities. We provide creative experiences for life empowerment, faith enrichment, and community transformation. As Van Gough once wrote, “There’s nothing more genuinely artistic than to love people,” and this is our sole purpose — to love people, with our time, talent, resources, and most of all, God’s loving truth. We serve locally and internationally and focus primarily on four groups of people:
We have a heart-felt burden for these four groups throughout Latin America, specifically Ecuador. Over the years, we have witnessed a crucial need for faith development and life mentorship. Poverty and lack of resources have been the primary concern for so many families in Latin America. As an arts ministry, we serve in creative and essential ways. We come alongside, and support trusted local leaders to develop well-being in their communities by providing resources and opportunities for families to thrive.
Here’s how you can help.
We’re needing partners to help open a Creative Ministry House in Ecuador that will support the needs of Indigenous people, refugees, marginalized people, youth-at-risk, and many others for years to come. Through our local ministry partnerships, we can help facilitate many outreach efforts, such as:
This Creative Ministry House will also be a sustainable way to support ministry outreach by being a retreat lodge, a house church, a creative center for artists. Our goal is to also provide a safe place where youth can come and develop their gifts and talents.
To turn this Creative Ministry House vision into a reality, we will need your help to raise $150,000 to develop the property we have in mind.
We’re looking for donors who want to be world changers and make a sustainable impact.
