About the Artist –
Elder Kwang Hyuk Rhee

Elder Kwang Hyuk Rhee was a devoted Christian artist from Seoul, South Korea, whose life was dedicated to the Word of God. He spent more than 20 years creating extraordinary “Word Pictures,” a unique form of sacred art made entirely from handwritten Scripture.

​

Instead of using traditional drawing or painting techniques, he carefully wrote every letter by hand, using only the arrangement and density of the words to form detailed images of Jesus Christ and biblical scenes. There are no brush strokes—only the Word of God.

​

Some of his works contain over 100,000 handwritten letters, and one of his most remarkable pieces includes the entire New Testament, forming a powerful portrait of Christ. Another work, “Logos,” presents John 3:16 written in 1,234 languages, symbolizing that the Gospel is for all people around the world.

​

His life also carried a deep personal sorrow. During the Korean War, he was separated from his family, and his children and grandchildren remained in North Korea. He longed to see them again, but was unable to reach them. It is believed that his family was placed in one of the most difficult and restricted conditions under the North Korean regime. This separation remained a deep burden in his heart throughout his life.

​

While living in Seoul and later in Los Angeles, he devoted himself to children’s ministry. He believed that if children come to know Jesus Christ at a young age, they will remain in faith for a lifetime. Through the sale of his artwork, he supported and invested in children’s ministry with great passion.

It is deeply believed that his love for children’s ministry was also connected to his longing for his own children and grandchildren, whom he could not see again.

​

Elder Rhee devoted his life to this calling as an expression of faith and obedience to God. His desire was that these artworks would be used for God’s Kingdom—especially to support missions and children’s ministry.

Txog Tus Kws Kos Duab – Txwj Laus Kwang Hyuk Rhee

​

Txwj Laus Kwang Hyuk Rhee yog ib tug kws kos duab ntseeg Vajtswv los ntawm Seoul, South Korea, uas tau fij nws lub neej rau Vajtswv Txojlus. Nws tau siv ntau tshaj 20 xyoo los tsim cov “Word Pictures,” uas yog ib hom duab tshwj xeeb uas tsim los ntawm kev sau Vajlugkub los ntawm tes.

​

Nws tsis siv txoj kev kos duab lossis pleev xim li qub, tiam sis nws sau txhua tsab ntawv los ntawm tes, siv tsuas yog kev teem thiab qhov tuab ntawm cov lus los tsim cov duab ntxaws ntawm Yexus Khetos thiab cov xwm txheej hauv Vajlugkub. Tsis muaj txhuam pleev xim—tsuas yog Vajtswv Txojlus xwb.

​

Qee yam ntawm nws cov duab muaj ntau tshaj 100,000 tsab ntawv, thiab ib daim tseem ceeb muaj tag nrho Phau Tshiab, tsim ua ib daim duab muaj hwj chim ntawm Khetos. Lwm daim hu ua “Logos” muaj Yauhas 3:16 sau ua 1,234 hom lus, qhia tias Txoj Moo Zoo yog rau txhua haiv neeg thoob ntiaj teb.

​

Nws lub neej kuj muaj ib zaj kev tu siab tob heev. Thaum lub sijhawm Tsov Rog Kauslim, nws tau sib cais ntawm nws tsev neeg, thiab nws cov menyuam thiab xeeb ntxwv tseem nyob hauv North Korea. Nws xav ntsib lawv dua, tab sis nws tsis muaj peev xwm mus cuag lawv. Muaj kev ntseeg tias nws tsev neeg raug muab tso rau hauv ib qho chaw nyuaj heev hauv North Korea.

​

Qhov kev sib cais no tau nyob hauv nws lub siab mus tag nws lub neej.

Thaum nws nyob hauv Seoul thiab tom qab ntawd hauv Los Angeles, nws mob siab rau kev pabcuam menyuam yaus. Nws ntseeg tias yog menyuam yaus ntseeg Yexus Khetos thaum lawv tseem yau, lawv yuav tuav txoj kev ntseeg mus tag sim neej. Los ntawm kev muag nws cov duab, nws tau txhawb thiab pab kev pabcuam menyuam yaus nrog kev mob siab loj.

​

Peb ntseeg tias nws txoj kev hlub rau kev pabcuam menyuam yaus kuj yog los ntawm nws txoj kev nco thiab kev hlub rau nws tus kheej cov menyuam thiab xeeb ntxwv uas nws tsis tau ntsib dua.

​

Txwj Laus Rhee tau fij nws lub neej rau txoj haujlwm no ua ib qho kev ntseeg thiab kev mloog lus rau Vajtswv. Nws lub siab xav yog kom cov duab no siv rau Vajtswv lub nceeg vaj—tshwj xeeb rau kev tshaj tawm thiab kev pabcuam menyuam yaus.
