Spreading the gospel with paint
Having painted hundreds of times at hundreds of events, I’ve been able to collect a variety of testimonials from the pastors and churches that I’ve painted at. Below are some of my favorite. It blesses me and makes me so grateful for God’s purpose for my life. I’ve had so many wonderful opportunities to spread the gospel with paint and I anxiously look forward to what He has planned for my future.

“Having Lance as part of our church body and watching his ministry grow here has been such a joy to witness and be a part of. We, as pastors, want to equip our people with the knowledge and tools to go out into the world to do God’s work. Lance has taken this even further and is using his gifts and talents to do something truly remarkable. His ministry is reaching thousands in ways that not many on this earth can. I personally am amazed every time I see Lance paint. God’s anointing is on this ministry and I am eagerly watching to see what the future holds for Painted Christ.”
Gary Smith - Executive Pastor
Fielder Road Church, Arlington Texas
“If you are looking to use the arts to engage peoples’ hearts (and why wouldn’t you use everything you can), Lance is a joy to work with and humble servant for our King.”
Todd Wagner – Executive Pastor – Watermark Church – Dallas, Texas
“Amazing, what a blessing! The Calvary Baptist Church Family recently had Lance as a part of our Sunday morning worship. As we worshiped in song he used His Godgiven gift to paint Christ. Lance’s talent is incredible, his spirit is genuine and humble, and his whole family was a blessing. I would heartily recommend him to any pastor and church wanting to experience something very special. We purchased his painting and it is still centerstage in our worship center. Thank God for faithful servants who will use their gifts and abilities to help others “see Christ” more clearly.”
Kirk Shelton, Pastor - Calvary Baptist Church
“Lance Brown is able to preach the Word and lead a body of Christ in worship without saying a word. It is one of the most powerful worship experiences you will have.”
Luke Riley, Student Minister - Ash Creek Baptist Church
“There are few times in a worship setting where we are able to see a congregation moved deeply within a moment. Having Lance Brown minister creatively brought about one of those sweet ministry moments. His servant spirit and his artistic precision is high caliber, but God's anointing in him to touch the human heart is astounding. His ministry will bring life to any worship experience.”
Byron Copeland – Executive Pastor - Gateway Church, Texas
"Lance Brown will both enthrall and surprise you and your audience. He shows the messy and work-in-progress reality of art in real time while leaving you on the edge of your seat as to what he is painting. The results are a very moving and memorable way to point people to Jesus Christ. His love for God, family, and art are evident when you meet him and watch what he does."
Jesse Joyner – Professional Juggler - Youth Entertainer
“Lance is so easy to work with because his heart is in the right place. It is very evident that his first priority is to reach the lost and hurting and his art and performance is a great avenue to do that. Because of his genuine spirit, he naturally had a generous response from our congregation. He is also a great team player and was very easy to work with when it came to production and logistics. His ministry will definitely be a blessing to yours!”
Danny Hageman – Campus Coordinator – Gateway Church, Texas
"Lance was an absolute joy to work with! He was very humble and sought to serve our church and our vision instead of forcing his ideas upon us. He was quick to respond to all forms of communication, was eager to listen to our thoughts and direction, and was just fun to get to know. He's very likable and easy to connect with spiritually as he desires God's will above all else. Not to mention, the painting was an unbelievable moment in our service. Of course he's a great artist; but the thing that sets Lance apart is his humility and willingness to serve. I highly recommend him!!"
David McKinney – Associate Global Worship Pastor – Cross Church, Arkansas
"Lance was a special guest at our annual fundraising gala for Hope Mansion, a home for women experiencing crisis pregnancies. The audience, myself included, were enraptured as we were ushered into worship through Lance's paintbrush. It was a beautiful, transcendent experience and the auctioning of his Painted Christ was an incredible success. If ever you have the privilege to experience Lance's performance, invite everyone you know."
Camella J. Binkley – Hope Mansion Fundraising Gala – Dallas, Texas
"Lance is an incredibly gifted artist and has a passion to reach others with a message of God's love in a unique way. I'm inspired every time I see him in action! He's always a crowd favorite."
Keith Coast - Youth Entertainer
“Lance’s creative genius is absolutely amazing! We have worked many events together and his paintings have brought record amounts of $$ for great organizations! Lance creates magic on canvass and leaves the audience breathless….then my bidding starts.
Book this guy…he’s one of a kind!”
