AFAR began in 2015 with a powerful and deeply personal vision. During a moment of reflection in church, creator Mike was struck by a vivid image: humanity, covered in the weight of its own brokenness, contrasted against a perfectly clean figure—Jesus—walking among them. Not distant or removed, but present among them, ultimately taking that burden onto Himself so others could be made whole.

That image became the foundation of AFAR and set the direction for what would become an ambitious creative undertaking. Mike set out to tell a gospel story without words, relying entirely on visual storytelling to communicate a message that could reach anyone, regardless of language or background.

Like many long-term creative projects, the work was interrupted. Life pulled Mike away before the book could be completed, and for years, AFAR remained unfinished.

Everything changed when Mike sought guidance in prayer about how to best use his time and talents. In that quiet moment, his thoughts returned to AFAR. Taking that as clarity and direction, he committed to finishing what he had started.

More than a decade after its beginning, that original vision has now been fully realized. AFAR stands as a visual journey of sacrifice, redemption, and grace—told in a way that invites each reader to experience its meaning personally.

Now, through RippaSend, that vision is ready to be shared with the world.
