Finding a Church to paint was important for Shane, having a strong background in Christianity. He reached out to a few churches in the area, but they were not interested in his vision. The idea in his mind persisted, and soon a Worship Pastor at Hope Community Church reached out. This was the location he was seeing in his mind! Or was it?
Arriving on location, it seemed like there wasn’t anything left to paint. Everything had been leveled. The main sanctuary was gone, and lots of twisted metal and siding lay all about. Walking around the location, Shane checked all angles… when he saw it.
A square piece of scorched concrete that once was used as a baptismal lay almost intact before him right in the middle of the building. Shane felt this would be meaningful for what he envisioned. The mural would be a painting simply entitled Jesus. Although the walls had fallen all around, what remained standing behind the baptismal was the cross which once stood affixed to a wall now standing on its own. Shane later found out the Worship Pastor who reached out was married and baptised in that spot.
