Well-Being Australia chairman has welcomed the idea of appointing a number of ‘ambassadors’ to assist with the promotion of art show ‘mission fund-raisers’ that exhibit donated art works of Tronson du Coudray.
The idea of ‘ambassadors’ has a two-fold meaning within historical contexts. The first is that of a specific New Testament model where those who follow Jesus Christ are referred to as ‘ambassadors’. They become representatives, not dissimilar to an ambassador of a country.
A second concept of an ‘ambassador’ is someone who places ‘their name and reputation’ behind a project, again not unlike some charities, who publish a ‘Council of Reference’ of distinguished people.
The ‘ambassadors for Well-Being Australia’s fund raiser art shows take on both these roles.
One initiative of the inaugural Well-Being Australia art show fund-raiser, has been a Tronson du Coudray original ‘small art board’ donated as a prize for the ‘business card draw at the monthly Tweed Heads Chamber of Commerce breakfast.
The recipients have enjoyed the art, the art works are placed on the big screen for the Chamber members to view.
Ambassadors
The idea of ambassadors is not only an ancient one, it is also heralded in the New Testament.
Christians are ambassadors. In Protestant Christian theology there is no difference between the Minister or Christian worker to that of Christian parishioners - in theological terms, the doctrine is referred to as the Priesthood of all Believers.
The Christian person in whatever is their endeavor, whether that be vocation, calling, administrator, trades person, corporate leader, school teacher, university professor, nurse, medical doctor, locomotive driver, dentist, home maker, welfare officer, youth leader, aged care facility employee .… whatever …. the Scriptures enjoin the Christian to engage as if unto the Lord.
Every Christian, the follower of Christ, is an Ambassador for Jesus.
