Living Water Gala – $65k raised!!!!

On September 30th, I got the pleasure to be a part of the Living Water International Gala.

I was asked to host their first time ever simulcast, that had over 1000 people from around the world tuning in. I also co-hosted a bit with Liz Jordan in the main hall at the Hilton Hotel of the Americas…. as well as created a painting during the event.

It was a great pleasure to work with Robbie Seay Band, The Autumn Film, and Bill Hybels who was the keynote during the event.

The painting I made was up for silent auction the next day at LWI’s open house. Upon arriving I found out that 3 bidders were up to $20,000 and they asked if I would be willing to create a few more paintings so that they all could get one. Of course I said I would! So I committed to making 2 more large  ones and one more small one for a total of $65,ooo raised!…. by painting!!!

It’s just awesome to know that I can do something helpful for clean water… even as a painter.

A special thanks to Zach McNair for hooking me up with some of his pics from that night. Check out more of his stuff at zachmcnair.com.
