"Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity." Colossians 4:5
Over the past year, Go Forth Ministry's new push to turn artists into disciples of Christ has seen immense growth. While some projects did not move as fast as originally intended, God's timing and touch are visible around every corner of this new endeavor.
The Brothers Baer
At the beginning of last year, we set out to create an environment where creatives could gather, work on a project, come close to each other, and open up to the Creator. That environment is the studio where we will film The Brothers Baer, the show about two brothers and Rock 'n' Roll.
The project has been moving forward steadily, with little adjustments being made as needed. We had a need for an actor to play the character opposite me who is based on my brother David. This role will be performed by a friend of ours, Luke Skaggs, an extraordinary local talent. We are very excited to get the ball rolling with Luke.
This summer and fall, we intend to film episodes of the show to be uploaded on YouTube. God willing, this studio will be a space where artists feel welcome to collaborate and make beautiful things.

Evan J Zuercher:
Dear God You Dream In Light
In November, GFM had the pleasure of coming alongside a local artist and good friend, Evan Zuercher, as he faithfully answered God's call to pursue his art. We supported his debut exhibition in Wooster, which has since opened doors for him in new places. For the whole month of April, his artwork was on display at Galleria Ekkles in Mansfield.
By faith, Evan continues to move forward with his artwork, believing that God will use it to connect and enliven artists like him. We believe God will use his talent and insight to reach the hearts of many people.

Prayer Requests
New Opportunities
There are many opportunities making themselves available to us, and hopefully, we will be able to share more about them in the near future. Additional YouTube content, painting classes, music jam sessions, and online communities are all possible spaces for us to step into.
Please pray:
- that we are able to discern which spaces we need to be pushing into.
- for God's provision in all the things He would have us do.
Connections
Without the people, this pursuit is meaningless.
Please pray:
- for lost but curious creatives, people God can reach through us and our enviroments. Pray that He sends them to us in His timing.
- for new connections to likeminded creative people/spaces, so we can build a network of people to pursue this together.
Thank you for your continued prayers and support of this project. I am so excited to see where God takes this, and what kinds of people He reaches through it! May God bless our journey.
