A student art show benefitting and hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Heath enhanced Worthington Christian High School’s winter play, held on February 11th through the 13th.
Asia’s Hope is an organization ministering to children in Southeast Asia who are orphaned, enslaved, trafficked and struggling for their lives. Mr. and Mrs. Heath worked together to make an attempt to make a change.
Mrs. Heath shared that she believes God specifically spoke to her last year about holding an art show targeted toward Southeast Asia and its children. Her passionate and ambitious desire for the people is to assist them by raising money for their specific needs.
With many people going in and out of the winter play, large numbers passed through the art show. Mrs. Heath says, “The show was more than I expected; I actually didn’t know what to expect! We would’ve been glad to raise $50. Anything that would make a difference for them would be awesome. We ended up raising over $800 and that was just- … amazing!”
Mrs. Heath said “Thanks to Mr. O’Roark” who was “just so gracious in allowing me to hold the art show around his production. Also, Tom Dreyer, Adrianna Quinones, Beth Julca, and Erin Houts, as well as my advanced potography class, helped me a ton with the art show and the necessary preparations.”
Since Mrs. Heath traveled to Cambodia and Thailand wit her husband and a group of WC girls this past summer, her passion to return to the poverty-stricken country is stronger than ever. Also, Mrs. Heath majored in art at The Columbus College of Art and Design with prior experience in creativity. Her skills served as a major contributor for this task.
Many contributed to the people of Asia during this time of the winter play, as well as the art show. Mrs. Heath, as well as a large population of the student body and family understand that children do not deserve to suffer and helping is a priority.

“Any little bit helps.” Mrs. Heath said. “A little boy came up to my with $5 and said he didn’t want to buy anything and that he only wanted to give to Asia’s Hope. That just blessed me: that he didn’t ask for anything in return and that he just wanted to give. So, I have him a small 4’6 picture for him to have; and his face just lit up!”
Jesus said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35)” and this scripture is an exact parallel to what the WC body is doing for Asia. To give without expecting anything but the well-being of others is a mission worthy of praise.
Mrs. Heath’s idea of embedding the art show around the school play made a smashing success inevitable. With the help of her husband and a group of students the job became a major accomplishment and WC, as a body, took great pride in this event.
