THE WORLD 2012 - Iris Relief Coloring Book Ideas

At the Iris reunion with Heidi Baker at Pismo Beach this last year, we had a little pow-wow with Yonnie, Naomi and others who have been a part of or have an interest in Iris Relief. It was really cool to dream together about how we can respond and bring physical, emotional and spiritual relief to victims of natural disasters worldwide, and we continue to do so. In that meeting Lyle had prophesied about a coloring book that would be distributed to children worldwide that would help them understand who God is in the midst of the terrible loss they have suffered because of the natural disasters.

.

I know that there have been some pretty amazing ideas that have surfaced as we have continued to dialogue with Yonnie about the coloring book. I asked my friend Josh if he could come up with some artwork for the coloring book as I sat down with him and went over the storyboard that we came up with for a coloring book idea. I don't want to go into too many details about the coloring book, but our idea was to go through the story of creation, friendship with God, temptation, the fall of man, the story of Jesus, faith, restored friendship with God and natural disasters that were promised to take place more and more as His second coming is imminent. This is just one of the ideas for a coloring book. We wanted to call this coloring book idea, "God loves us" as it would focus on how God loves us and wants to draw us to Himself through these crazy events that are taking place worldwide; that God isn't angry with us and that He wants to be our friend.

.

Anyway, check out these pages that Josh has come up with so far. We would ultimately want words at the bottom of each page that could be translated into whatever language we needed it in, depending on what country we would be traveling to in response to a natural disaster. Again, these are just some ideas. Thanks so much Josh for offering your time and your talents. Please pray for Iris Relief as we want to bring the love of Jesus and the freedom that God offers everyone in tangible and relevant ways.
