Release a generation of creatives into the endtime harvest!

Wildwood NJ – Sept. 27-29th – 2024

JOIN US in Wildwood, NJ September 27th-29th

September 27-29th 2024, Luz Art is hosting the Wild4Jesus conference in Wildwood, New Jersey. The event will celebrate God-given creativity across multiple art forms. It is a celebration of the unique identity found in Christ and the expression of the Holy Spirit. Speakers include artists and pastors who are passionate about evangelism through the arts. The conference is designed to inspire artists, encourage the faithful, and foster connections among Christian artists.

LUZ Art founder Carmelita Greco states, “God inspires us to use the gifts he has given us” and she believes that we are entering a season of “Kingdom Renaissance.” She was inspired to title the conference Wild4Jesus through a dream, prayer, and reflection on scripture. ‘Wild’ may not be the first word commonly associated with the Christian faith, but the movement of the Holy Spirit (visions, dreams, intentional words, baptism of the Spirit) defied expectations throughout scripture and engaged people with strong messages. For Greco, it is this quality of wild expression that “ignites the church with the fire of revival” and represents the “wild movement of the Spirit” burning in Ezekiel’s bones. The lives of the prophets, people with vision who were not always understood and even faced persecution, parallel the lives of artists. Christian artists can especially struggle to find and form a community where their expression of faith is seen and heard positively. Greco sees the conference as an event to “connect hearts” with a similar calling and inspire each attendee to embrace their unique identity.

For Greco, Wild4Jesus is “A call of boldness, uniqueness, and identity, engaging God’s presence and accepting your unique anointing for this season.” Join us in the New Year to celebrate the creative expression of faith.

“I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.”

God is calling us to unite as the Body of Christ, Pray and be set apart for his purpose.
