Abstract versus Realism. Abstract and Realism are two different styles of art, namely found in painting. Abstract style doesn’t use reality as a reference, but Realism does. In Discovery Clubs, the Mission’s after-school Bible clubs, kids learn about something that may be abstract to them (God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit), and that learning turns into something real — a strong spiritual foundation that will carry them through adulthood and knowledge of God’s saving grace that will take them through eternity. Because children are blank canvases, waiting to be filled with God’s love.
