Ambassadors of Action: Daniel Quinones and Melissa Leslie - Fine Artists And Magazine Publishers

Our Voice Kytia continues her interview series here on WitnessLA called “Ambassadors of Action.” As Christians, we are representations of Christ’s love here on this earth and we are called to be His ambassadors. “We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.” (2 Corinthians 5:20) 

Each of the interviews in this series is meant to highlight how children of God are living as examples and are actively sharing their beliefs with the world (at home, in the workplace, through blogs, etc.). “Ambassadors of Action” are your everyday brothers and sisters in Christ, making a difference in an unconventional way. 

In this next interview in the series, Kytia interviews fine artists Daniel Quinones and Melissa Leslie, the founders of MLoveizm Magazine, on redefining what it means to be a Christian in the secular art world and how the obstacles they faced inspired them to start a community for Christian artists and arts fans through their online magazine.

“Like” What Matters

Our friend and reader shares the dangers of something that otherwise seems so neutral: social media. Rather than focusing on gossip and the lives of others, we need to fix our eyes on the Lord, find our joys through Him and seek Him to live out our purpose. This testimony is a good reminder that God is our rock and foundation of highest importance, and that everything else on this earth is temporary.

“OMG did you hear?!” It is a phrase heard often in today’s society. It is a way to connect with others. It starts conversations and can end an awkward silence.  In the days of social media where news spreads like wildfire, it creates a topic of conversation where one otherwise might not exist.  And in that moment, it can create a common bond between people and an idea of common interest.  It is, “What happened to whom?”, “Who did what?” and “Where they went and with whom?” It is gossip, it is news and it is hot.
