Drawing Dreams, Healing Hearts – Session 2

Illuminating Hope Through Art

📍 Saegh Ragh Vineyard Church, Din Daeng – November 30, 2024

Building upon the success of the inaugural session, SOAF gathered at Saegh Ragh Vineyard Church for the second session of “Drawing Dreams, Healing Hearts.” This transformative event once again provided a sanctuary for creativity, healing, and faith-driven self-expression, reinforcing the mission of SOAF to bring hope and resilience to children through the power of art.

A Day of Inspiration & Connection

The day began with a shared fellowship and a meal, breaking barriers and setting the stage for an afternoon filled with warmth, creativity, and encouragement.

Miss Isaree Thewase, speaking on behalf of Dr. Gregg Tyler Milligan, delivered a powerful message centered on:

📖 Faith – Trusting in God’s guidance through life’s challenges.
💪 Resilience – Overcoming hardships through inner strength.
🌟 The Courage to Dream – Embracing creativity as a pathway to healing.

Her heartfelt words reminded the children of God’s unfailing love, their unique worth, and their ability to rise above adversity.

Art as a Voice for the Heart

🎨 The Power of Artistic Expression

At the heart of the session was an interactive art activity, where children were invited to paint their dreams, emotions, and aspirations onto canvases.

• Some painted vivid landscapes, symbolizing hope and new beginnings.
• Others created abstract expressions, depicting their inner strength and faith in brighter days.
• One young girl painted a bridge over stormy waters, later sharing that it symbolized her journey of overcoming hardships through faith.
