Join Chris Duffett for an immersive retreat soaked with prophetic art seeking to hear from God and interpreting what you hear into paintings. Learn how to paint ‘live’ at worship events and bring pictures, symbols and words from God’s heart to those around you. This is a practical retreat with an emphasis on practicing and producing paintings. Please do bring painting materials and essentially an easel with you. Canvases will be provided.
Chris Duffett is a part time artist alongside being co-principal of The Light College and Collective. He serves as an evangelist and storyteller and is also an ordained Baptist minister. He is a former president of the Baptist Union of Great Britain. Chris is married to Ruth and they live in rural Cambridgeshire and are nearly empty nesters (where did that time go?!) Chris loves to paint prophetically and seeks to bring words from God’s heart that strengthen, encourage and comfort. His recent collection of paintings centre around ‘Living water’ and you can find out more at www.chrisduffettART.com
