In the middle distance is the spire of the church which may commemorate the site where Jesus fed the multitude with five loaves and two fish. I added the fishing boats as a reminder that this lake was the place where the first disciples made their living. And today?   Today He is willing and able to meet the needs of others, to release His miracle power, His provision, right where we live, right where we work... This is one of the paintings that were inspired by a time my wife and I spent in Israel.

The late afternoon air was heavy with the fragrance of orange blossom... As I reached the southern tip of the Sea of Galilee I came across these Israelis in their ferro cement boats. My mind went a long way back...“As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and his brother Andrew… they were fishermen. “Come, follow Me” Jesus said”. Mark 1 : 16-17. Though our lakes and our jobs may be different from theirs, the same invite, the same challenge is issued. If you look closely, you will find the Lord’s hand – beckoning us. Now it’s our move… our futures, our people’s destinies hang on our response.
