SACRED ARTS
MSA is equipping this generation and generations to come with the fivefold SHAWL of Sacred Arts. Jesus lived out these five Sacred Arts in His relationship to the Father, He modeled them in His mentoring of the twelve disciples, and then He commissioned us to do the same thing He did by “making disciples” everywhere we go (Matthew 28:19-20).
“Carlo, you have found a gold mine for spiritual formation and mentoring in the timeless teachings of Andrew Murray. Your integration of their vision in the Sacred Arts Series is valid, creative and very promising for spirituality and ministry.”
