More crazy people...

Here at The Saint, we appreciate crazy people.

Especially those those types of crazy people who cast off

convention in order to do something great.

(We're often entertained by the crazy people who

cast off convention to do something terrible,

but we don't want to be friends with them.)

This is Kate and Johnny Brooks

of

A Future and A Hope.

They are our kind of crazy.

Kate and Johnny are American expatriates

who left the States with little more than

the clothes on their backs and

the voices in their heads and moved to

Nakuru, Kenya in order to be a blessing

to the people there.

In addition to taking seven orphaned girls

into their home as their own and opening

a home for orphaned boys with another family,

they spend their days taking care

of those who are often nearly decimated
by poverty and AIDS.

They provide food, mattresses and other basic

necessities, as well as simple love and care

to those who otherwise would go without.

They don't do this with the backing of some

large mission organization or trust fund,

they do it by insanely trusting that the God

who sent them there will provide

everything that they need.

We, at The Saint, love these folks.

In order to be a blessing to them,

we have started a series of paintings

featuring their Kenyan girls.

All proceeds from the sale

of these paintings (not including

shipping costs) will go directly

and immediately to

A Future and a Hope.

The first three paintings in this

series are ready and available

for purchase.

They are 18" x 18"

oil on wood panel

framed and ready to hang.

Each painting is $250

plus shipping (which is about

$25 in the States).

The links below will take you

to my artfire.com shop where you can

purchase them.

So, there you have it.

Here's your chance to take part

in the madness.

Plus,  you get a pretty good painting

out of the deal.

It's a win/win.

If you want to learn more about

Kate and Johnny

and the crazy stuff that they do

you can check out their website.

A Future and A Hope

If you can't go a whole $250 for a painting

but you still want to help them out,

there's a Paypal button

on their site that can make that possible.

Anyway, that's that.

Later,

Sean
