The world is but a canvas to our imagination. Henry David Thoreau
As a graphic designer, I am committed to creating art that brings glory to the God who created this canvas around us. With a few years of experience under my belt, including service as a full-time missionary, I believe would be a great addition to your ministry. On the following pages, you will find samples of past work that I have done, both as a designer and managing editor of a magazine. Please have a look, and let’s talk about how I can benefit your team.

1 This project unified artists from New Zealand, Slovakia, Australia, about living in the Light and the joy of doing something for the glory of His name. God gave them wisdom and blessed many people through Israel, Great Britain, USA, and South Africa. It was quite similar to the beautiful gathering of athletes from all over the world who came the painting — and therefore, the artists. together to compare and compete in the sport representing their country for the Olympics. “I joined the sisters for the last days of the exhibition, and could not wait to get there. It was worth every bit of effort the team had made,” God is not finished with us yet. This work is alive and ongoing, and said Imme. “Not one brushstroke was wasted. Every painting spoke will be changing as pieces are commissioned and artists added for the a specific message while supporting the whole. We engaged the spectators, each in our own way, according to their preferences among next showing. The smaller work will now tour New Zealand. If you would like to take part in this project, please contact Bryan Pollard at the paintings. However, the message was the same in every painting, integritycom@xtra.co.nz leading to the overall message of salvation. It was powerfully positive. Some people even said that now they knew why they had come to London. The Abbey pastors placed a book out for people to comment on the painting, and to their surprise the huge book was almost filled. The Key of David collaborative painting consists of 141 individual canvases Exhibiting in central London was an honor and such a brilliant way painted by over 85 artists. It is based on Isaiah 22:22 (NIV), “I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no one can to reach people. I thank everyone who was involved for all the work, shut, and what he shuts no one can open.” One key points to darkness, and inspiration and persistence in getting this project to the point where it another points to light. There is an angel on each side of the painting, and is now. It is a journey I know I was meant to be on.”

Teacher Training Brings New Life... Quite Literally
A Message From Loren

The pilot project of UofN Teacher Training and Trainer Certificate Programs kickedoff in Nigeria, but they had no idea what would happen next.
6 Loren and Darlene Cunningham attending the UofN graduation ceremony during the Workshop in September.
We have just come through another exciting, busy year at the University of the Nations (UofN) Kona campus! As we started the 4th quarter of 2011, We watched our faith grow as a new dormitory building was approved on arrival day, allowing us to open the doors and offer housing to the largest quarter we have seen to date. Now that we have entered 2012, we’re seeing a new wave of young people to train and send out all across our globe! Thirty-three years ago we birthed the University of the Nations at this very location. Now it’s time for our University to be launched into a whole new level. This is a paradigm LIFT in which we are moving into new levels of effectiveness in ministering within the spheres of society. In 1 Chronicles 12:32 a particular group of men (called the Sons of Issachar) were known to be men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel was to do within those times. We want to be like those Sons of Issachar: proactively moving forward with all the tools and resources available to us in the rapid pace of this digital age while still holding firmly to our foundation that is in Jesus Christ and the hope of the Gospel message for the transformation of lives.
Within the pages that you are now holding, you will read about many exciting things such as the release of the new Sourceview Bible (formatted by our very own David Hamilton) and advances in TransMedia communication. You will read testimonies of the radical Circuit Rider evangelism and prayer teams that were sent out of Kona this past summer, and about resurrections and teacher training in Nigeria. You will read about how former UofN Kona students are bringing exposure to human trafficking and modern-day slavery through the “Sex and Money” documentary that just wrapped up its
tour across America. You will read about i-tec Inventor Steve Saint and his flying Maverick cars; tools to help us access even remote jungle regions with the Gospel and medical care. Close to “home”, you will read about the potential within solar photovoltaic systems and hydrogen generating devices that will enable us to be better stewards of our finances and natural resources, moving toward our goal of being “off the grid” and self-sustainable in our remote Pacific location here at the UofN Kona campus.
In this season where numerous countries are being shaken in both the physical and economic realms, there is also a shaking in the spiritual realm that causes people to ask the bigger questions of life, death and eternity. We understand the urgency of helping to answer these questions by presenting to people the hope and salvation of Christ to as many as possible, by whatever means possible. As we are challenged by visas and the economy, we ourselves must adapt. We have to be flexible, get out of debt and become innovative and self-sufficient so that we can serve other people and model a place of health and growth: a haven in troubled days.
As you read the pages before you, be prayerful regarding any partnership you may be able to have with us on any of these initiatives. I welcome your correspondence on these matters: unkloren@gmail.com. May you be encouraged and inspired.

Steve Saint & The Maverick
When faced with the daunting task of reaching hard-to-reach tribes in Ecuador, Steve Saint wasn’t about to give up. His invention of an FAAapproved flying car gives him the ability to drive rough terrain, and take to the skies when the roads run out. Now this missionary is taking on a whole list of new ideas and inventions to help the Waodoni tribe, and training these indigenous people to do the work.

SEX MONEY IN AMERICA
APR 2013
By Timothy Dyk
Though the film focuses on the issue of sex trafficking as it exists within the United States, the students first became aware of sex trafficking in their previous travels with YWAM discipleship training schools and the PhotogenX Around The World Track. After traveling around the world with PhotogenX, American students Autumn Mason, Morgan Perry, Tim Dyk, Sarah Jo Sampson, and Scott Martin were part of an international group of students from eight nations that produced the publication Sex+Money: A Global Search For Human Worth. The book focused on how the global abuses of sex and money were leading to greater exploitation

And A Drive To Stop It All
ON AUGUST FIRST, 2011, fifteen former University of the Nations students boarded a tour bus near Williamsburg, Virginia to begin a tour that lasted until mid-December, taking them through all of the 48 contiguous United States. The group promoted a new feature-length documentary about domestic minor sex trafficking in the US and the abolitionist movement that has already begun to fight it. The documentary, titled Sex+Money: A National Search For Human Worth, developed out of PhotogenX, a ministry of YWAM that uses creative media as a tool for cultural transformation. By the time the tour finished, the team screened the film in all 50 states.

In response to the shocking statistics and stories of abuse from around the US, the crew began filming in September of 2009. They have since traveled to over 30 states and conducted more than 75 interviews with federal agents, victims, politicians, activists, psychologists, porn-stars, and pastors. The film entered post-production from June of 2010 through July 2011. As of August first, the completed film is now available to the general public.
From the beginning, Sex+Money has been a grassroots campaign, and the distribution model remains in keeping with the same grassroots spirit. Executive producer Morgan Perry felt that a 50-state tour would be a strategic way to raise money for restoration homes, spread awareness about domestic minor sex trafficking, and inform audiences on the status of trafficking legislation in each state. As a practical response towards victims of trafficking, 75% of the first 100,000 items of Sex+Money merchandise sold on tour and in the online store are being given to Streetlight Phoenix, a restoration home that can serve up to 48 survivors of domestic minor sex trafficking. With the film complete, the crew made an attempt to screen the film in at least one large university as well as one large church in each of the 50 states. The university screenings were followed by panel discussions comprised of local experts in order to help the audience formulate an effective response to trafficking in their cities, while church events will be followed by times of prayer, worship, intercession, and individual ministry. For the church screenings, the team traveled with a band

The team has witnessed multiple examples of individuals freed from the scars of past abuses and addictions. Associate Producer Lindsay Diederichs says, “Issues of sexuality seem to be a domain that is rarely addressed corporately in the church. After seeing the film, people have experienced a new freedom to repent from sexual sins and receive healing from the shame and guilt that they had been living with for years and years.” With the tour now complete, the Sex+Money team is driving ahead with the expectation that God will continue to bring healing to the places, people, and hearts that are yearning for restoration.

that lead congregations in worship and prayer after screening the film. Throughout the film-making process, the team believes that prayer, intimacy, and worship are crucial to formulating a response to sex trafficking in the United States. Associate Producer and worship leader Isaac Gill says, “We live from the first commandment—loving God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. We want to be like Jesus- only saying what we hear the Father saying, only doing what we see the Father doing. With such a heavy and sensitive topic we need to be in tune with God’s kindness and His love all the time.”

Awaken DTS Crossroads DTS through sex trafficking. In the process of researching for the book, the team became aware of the severity of the problem of domestic minor sex trafficking within the United States. One statistic that most shocked the students came from an interview with Ernie Allen, President and CEO of The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, who estimates that at least 100,000 American children are at high risk of sexual exploitation each year.
