My very dear friend from college, Erica Russell will be joining us on Saturday, September 8th at the Beautifully Created from Ashes luncheon. You do not want to miss her prophetic chalk painting session that will happen during worship. She is an amazingly gifted woman of God who He uses mightily for the Kingdom. Come and join us as she shares her testimony and allows you to observe her chalk painting in the process under the anointing.
Erica has a heart for Jesus. Her mission verse …
“My hope and trust is in Jesus Christ. The way, the truth, and the life.” — John 14:6
Her whole life is centered around Christ, her husband, Dean, and their 5 children. They have been happily married for 29 years and live on a farm in Mansfield, Ohio.
She is definitely one of the most creative people I know. Her whole world is about art. Paint. Chalk. Sketches. Journals. She is the sole proprietor of Russell Studios LLC where she instructs painting classes monthly and for special occasions. She is involved in Urban Sketchers of Mansfield. She is an art teacher at Temple Christian School in Mansfield.
She clearly has an entrepreneurial spirit and has her hands delved into things other than just paint. She is involved in Trades of Hope. She sells jewelry that is made by women overseas. Trades of Hope’s mission is to empower women to get out of poverty and sex trafficking through fair trade sustainable income. It is a business of women helping women — becoming a voice for women who have no voice.
Come and join Erica as she shares how the Lord transformed her life of ashes and has created a life of much beauty through His grace and mercy!
