The Christ - as featured in Elder John C. Pingree Jr. talk entitled "I have a work for thee"

The Christ - Art Print

Elder John C. Pingree Jr. gave an amazing talk during the most recent General Conference for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints entitled "I have a work for thee". In it, he shared a drawing of Jesus Christ that I created well over a decade ago.

Since the talk, I have received numerous requests for prints of the artwork and so I am happy to say that you can now purchase a signed print or a digital download of it from my website at www.bensimonsen.com

Proceeds from the sale of the artwork will be donated to the church's Perpetual Education Fund. To find out more about this inspired program please visit: The Perpetual Education Fund
