b'By Richard Hunt \\nGod told me, \\u201cI\\u2019m to encourage people with these.\\u201d\\nFor decades, pastor and cartoonist Joe McKeever has visited churches to share the message of Christ. Often, he will meet and greet and take the time to draw portraits of them, and talk about Jesus while he\\u2019s sketching. At some sittings, Joe will do literally dozens of portraits, sometimes dedicating two hours to be sure no one is left out. \\u201cI just sit in the corner and draw people.\\u201d\\n\\nBesides his in-person church work, Joe has been doing cartoons and editorial cartoons for years. It\\u2019s very likely you\\u2019ve seen some of his professional work on sites like Baptist Press. And Joe is aware that his cartoon work gets \\u2018borrowed\\u2019 quite a bit by other media sources and just regular folks on social media. And that doesn\\u2019t bother him one bit. As a matter of fact, that fits into his guidance from God, who told him, \\u201cI\\u2019m to encourage people with these.\\u201d If people re-post his cartoons, all the better.'
