Photo booth uses art to communicate the Gospel

A former art teacher and now Reader-in-training is using his artistic talent to share a message of God's love with people all over the UK.

Chris Gilbert, who freelances under the name "Art and Soul Man", gives art and faith based assemblies in schools around the country.

His current project, the 'God Loves Me' photo booth, was first revealed at popular family Christian festival Spring Harvest earlier this year and Mr Gilbert is now using it in his work with school children.

The booth gives the opportunity to stand or sit in a giant picture that represents God's hands, and participants are invited to actively engage with the Gospel message, it is designed to act as a physical reminder that we are all loved, cared for and treasured by our Creator.
