PICK A POCKET NEWS MARCH 2012
NEW MINISTRY. NEW VISION. NEW BUILDING.
to our Valued Supporters, Several years ago, God placed in our hearts the desire to serve people that live in extreme poverty around the world. So we decided as a group of artists that we can use our creative abilities to help bring awareness to the developed nations about the developing world. Our main focus is to embody the Gospel wherever we go, serve people trapped in extreme poverty, create art, raise awareness about ways to transform communities, and forge new connections between the developed and developing world. Yet we needed a place to channel all these stories and awareness so that it can funnel out to bring awareness. Â

artists in Germany to be able to showcase their artworks at the gallery. It will be a great way to be able to network with many other artists within Germany and even outside of Germany. The Art gallery will also be the music venue on certain nights. The art gallery will be able to serve all forms of art and be a platform for them as well.
This year, we are blessed with a small store in Herrnhut to be able to open a small café, an art gallery, and an office space. The venue will be a nonprofit business. All of the profits gained through the café will go straight into the projects we have out on the fields. The café will be creatively designed by the artists within our group that can really portray and educate our customers on the issues of extreme poverty along with other social injustices happening around the world. We hope to have an all fair trade products from coffee beans to even the furniture. The cost is high because we want to pursue God’s vision in high quality not in bare minimum. Café will be run by our staff 6 days a week. The Art Gallery’s purpose is to display artworks done by our PickAPocket members and staff. We want to also be a platform for rising
We want to extend our invitation to you to be part of this great opportunity. Yes, we do have the store, but we need finances to be able to really have the café/art gallery in this venue. The venue needs 50,000 Euros to have a very nice and running venue. We know it is a lot of money but our Father in heaven has access to all the riches in this world and as His children, He knows how to give good gifts. So we extend our invitation to you to ask you to be part of God’s vision for the nations and help see the venue come into fruition. Please keep us in your prayers and spread the news! Take a look at what we’re doing online! We have started an online fundraising campaign to help make this project more known throughout the internet. You can check out our online campaign by clicking on the link below. You can also see our brand new promotional video that we have made to support the cause of our new venue.
