Draw Me Nearer
Chalk Art Ministry
by artist Heather Olsen Marx

Chalk art is a unique ministry that is rapidly reviving. "Chalk talks" as they used to be called, are a great way to minister with art. A chalk talk is when a picture is drawn in chalk while a message is being shared. The artist sometimes has a hidden black light picture drawn ahead of time that he reveals at the end of the presentation.

Heather Olsen Marx has completed all three phases of chalk art courses with Eternity Arts Ministries in Michigan. The Lord has given her a passion for this creative tool to spread the truths from God's Word.

Through chalk art, an audience ages 3 to 103 can sit silently watching the artwork being done. A presentation generally last from 15 to 20 minutes. The picture and message is often accompanied with music for a nice touch. The illustrated message leaves a lasting impression on the viewers. Not only do people remember the picture, they remember the message!

Title 40X54

Springs of Living Water

This drawing is taken from Psalm chapter one, "Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers... He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers."

The Bridge

The Bridge is a wonderful illustration of the Gospel. "Jesus said unto them, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man comes to the Father except through Me.'" John 14:6. Through Jesus Christ, and His finished work He did for us on the cross is the only way to the other side (heaven).

Jesus is the Bridge to heaven

Two Ways

Will you take the broad way or the narrow path? We must go through the cross to walk the narrow way.

Two Ways

End of the Road

There will come a time in everyone's life when we will reach the end of the road. We all have an appointment with eternity! Life is short, but eternity is forever! Are you living and preparing with eternity in view? Only those who know Christ as Savior will spend eternity with Him. "Jesus saith unto him,I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh to the Father, but by Me." John 14:6

End of the Road

The Vine

John 15 Jesus said, "I am the true vine,you are the branches. He who abindes in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing."

The Vine

Let the Lower Lights Be Burning

Brightly beams our Father’s mercy from His lighthouse evermore,
But to us He gives the keeping of the lights along the shore.
Let the lower lights be burning! Send a gleam across the wave!
For to us He gives the keeping of the lights along the shore.

Sodom and Gomorrah

Let us not become comfortable with the sin around us. Genesis 19

Sodom and Gomorrah

The Good Shepherd

John 10:7-16. Jesus is our Good Shepherd who gave His life for us, the sheep. Through Him we can be saved and spend eternity with Him in heaven.
