Public School Assemblies:
We need to go where the hurting kids are. As Painting Hope, No One Underground partners with communities to provide value-based public school assembly programs. Using the power of art, Eric gives each message the chance to be heard by students. Eric has partnered with Bob Lenz, Reggie Dabbs, Youth Alive, Youth for Christ, 7 Project, and campus ministries to bring truth in a widely accepted medium. With humor, art, and powerful stories Eric stirs up what lays dormant and leaves students transformed. A night outreach usually is held the evening of the school assemblies at a partnering Church or community center. http://www.paintinghope.com
