Dear Friend,<\/p>

Bel\u00f3ved Gallery is excited to announce a new curated collection of stories of faith inspired by the Prince of Peace painting that explore how we are all known and loved by the Creator.

Pradeep Thorat was shopping in Goodwill when he came across a print of the Prince of Peace painting and purchased it for four dollars. \u201cI knew it was the painting of Jesus,\u201d shared Pradeep. \u201cI brought it home, and Fabiola and I hung it on the wall, right in the middle of our wedding photos.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Born and raised in India, Pradeep saw people have profound experiences and revelations of Jesus who weren\u2019t born into traditional Christianity and didn\u2019t know God.<\/p>

\u201cI grew up in a country with many religions,\u201d Pradeep said. \u201cBut, there are stories of Buddhists, Muslims, and Hindus having dreams and encounters with a man named Jesus. Some felt peace they couldn\u2019t understand. One man that was dead for 40 minutes came back and said, \u2018I\u2019m not afraid of death now, because I know where I\u2019m going.\u2019 Most described Him as light and immense love.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"Fabiola grew up in Mexico, where her family struggled under the weight of having an alcoholic father. Then, when Fabiola was seven, her dad met Jesus.<\/p>

\u201cIt was a complete transformation,\u201d she shared. \u201cMy dad is a pastor now. He\u2019s 83 and says he will never slow down.\u201d<\/p>

Compelled by God’s goodness, Pradeep and Fabiola have traveled the world doing missions work. Between the two of them, they speak five languages. They are also raising two children.<\/p>

Then, this past spring during their 15-year wedding anniversary, the couple recognized the portrait of Jesus driving past Bel\u00f3ved Gallery’s billboard and came immediately over to take a tour.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cWhen I saw the original, I had absolute peace that Jesus is revealing himself to us… to people all over the world. To children,\u201d shared Pradeep with team Bel\u00f3ved.<\/p>\n

Watch Pradeep and Fabiola\u2019s testimony.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We already know that God is with us, He is for us, He\u2019s our father. But when you see that painting, you feel like it\u2019s real,\u201d Fabiola added. \u201cIt\u2019s beautiful the way Akiane shows Heaven through her paintings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not long after, the Thorats returned with their church group and even translated the tour for some of the guests. They also attended the Bel\u00f3ved Gala, where Pradeep prayed on stage in his mother tongue of Marathi. The couple continues to be huge advocates of Bel\u00f3ved Gallery’s mission.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s remarkable the way Akiane created the painting. The hairs on his chest, the detail. She genuinely had an encounter with Jesus,\u201d Pradeep reflects. \u201cPeople all over the world are seeking answers, seeking Jesus. They enter into His presence, and something changes in the human heart the moment that happens. When people come and stand in the room with the Prince of Peace, I know they can have that moment.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
