Project Description :: Prayer Room + Painting This prayer room will be a peaceful and reverent place at Mercy & Truth Medical Missions in Kansas City, KS where staff can pray for their patients, and families can pray for their children and for themselves. The design of the room will reflect the inspiration shown in the slide show at the left: a heavenly, monochromatic, blue color palette; a modern floor plan; a wall candle votive; and a wood pew. A painting of Jesus on the throne, entitled, “Jesus is Lord,” will be the focal point of the prayer room. Written scriptures and prayers will cover the canvas of the art, prior to being painted. |

His Story Mercy & Truth board member and art patron, Howard Russell, called set apart founder, Brent Morris, one day to share an idea he had. He said, "I just gave Pastor Jim West (Colonial Presbyterian Church) a tour at the Mercy & Truth Medical Missions headquarters in Kansas City, Kansas. Jim said to me, 'You know what you need here? You need a prayer room.' " Howard couldn't have agreed more. And he thought the perfect focal point for a prayer room was a painting of Jesus on the throne. Brent's jaw dropped. He already had a painting planned on that exact subject matter. In fact, he had already built the frame for the piece. Even though this painting concept had been featured on his personal website for quite sometime, he had only shared it with a few people...and Howard wasn't one of them. He had simply been waiting for someone to commission it before he went any further. But here's the thing. Not only had Brent never shared the idea with Howard...but Howard had never seen Brent's website before either... And so His story begins... |
