on may 4th of last summer, i wrote a blog post about going to an arts based DTS with YWAM. the months following that blog post i worked and dreamt of september 3rd when i would finally be starting that season of my life. well 7 months later, i am sitting in our base cafe in herrnhut, germany, with the same feeling in my heart. last night we graduated. our track is finished, our outreach is over, our ministries closed (for now) and the magazine is published. THE magazine. the one i read over and over again last year, longing to one day be apart of it. less than a year later i can joyfully say that God delivered on every desire of my heart. in my hands is the tangible copy of this years ATOM Magazine. the cover image was shot by my dear friend, kelsey, who has a blog here & portraits i captured of her here back in october. the base has a huge heart for europe and are seeing more outreaches stay on this continent. i’m happy to see such a furry, hilariously interesting and beautiful old European woman on the cover. the atom logo was designed by my talented designer friend whitney.
Hand & Cloth was featured in the magazine, with an article i wrote called ‘sewn back together.’
the editor wanted a fun outreach article about what to pack. i asked my friend cooper to help with the content. our friends michael and meagan were willing to bear the ridiculousness and be photographed. i’m happy that my two articles are polar opposite, justice-y and attempting to be funny-y.
overall, i am incredibly humbled and honored to have been a very small part of this years ATOM Magazine. countless hours went in from our editor, photo editor, designers, photographers, artists and writers. over 100 articles were submitted from the base and were selected from there. it truly was the vision for “marriage of the arts” DTS coming to fruition. the entire online edition of the magazine is available here. it’s amazing what a talented, young, jesus-loving group of artist-nobodies can do in 7 months. i heard a pastor say once when explaining something great “you’re beginning to think that the person had help.” and it couldn’t be more true.
