An Open Studio Project at Teen Haven

Angel Luciano is a passionate volunteer within the Teen Haven programs in Lancaster City. He is also an extremely talented artist who is sharing his creativity on the walls of our youth center. (progress picture of the mural posted on the right)

Here’s how this mural project came about…
Jose Jimenez, the Lancaster Teen Haven Field Director, asked Angel if he would be willing to come up with a mural design around a specific theme verse. Angel agreed and used this verse in Hebrews 12:1 in the design which says, "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."

As people view this mural our hope is that crowds of witnesses will be reminded of the Sacrificial Love of Christ, and not forget what Jesus endured for our benefit! This mural reminds us that heaven is our goal, as we see the gates of eternity opened by the blood of Christ our Savior.

The Process...
The mural project is still in progress, and it's been so fun to see the process as he's working to complete this masterpiece. We're so thankful for Angel's partnership in serving at Teen Haven and sharing his artistic expressions on the walls of our youth center!
