Our Story
“Speak to the children of Israel: Tell them to make tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put a blue thread in the tassels of the corners.” Numbers 15:38 (NKJV)
In ancient Israel, God commanded His people to wear a single blue thread, the tekhelet, woven into the corners of their garments. This wasn’t mere decoration. It was a visual reminder with every movement, every glimpse of that sacred blue: you belong to Me. You are set apart. You are called to something higher.
That divine thread runs through our story.
The Blue Thread was founded on the belief that worship, like that ancient thread, is meant to be visible and embodied.
Throughout Scripture, God’s people didn’t just sing; they moved. They lifted banners in the wilderness, danced before the ark, and expressed their devotion with their whole being. Worship was never meant to be passive or invisible.
We create worship flags that continue this tradition. Each flag is crafted to help you engage with God not just in words, but in movement and beauty. Whether you’re a worship leader seeking to activate your congregation, a dancer called to move prophetically, or someone who longs to express what words alone cannot capture, our flags give form to the praise rising from your heart.
Like that blue thread in Numbers, our flags serve as a reminder of who God is, of who we are in Him, and of the call to live and worship in a way that’s set apart, when a flag catches the wind during praise, when movement becomes prayer, when colour declares His glory, where heaven and earth connect.
This is The Blue Thread, where ancient commandments meet modern expressions, and worship takes flight.

I was never interested in worship flags.
In 2003, a lady came out to dance during the church service. She had nothing in her hands. She simply danced. As I watched, I saw a vision of a pair of flags. They were rainbow coloured and shaped like an angel's wings.
I knew the flags were meant for her, but I had no idea where to find them.
A week later, I was at a 24/7 House of Prayer and saw someone dancing with the exact flags I had seen in my vision. I asked if I could buy them from her, and she agreed. I gave them to the lady from my church, and I have not stopped giving flags away since.
After that, I was occasionally led to give away some flags, mostly from Claire and David at Called to Flag in Canada. I even bought some so that they can be freely used by people in the service.
More than twenty years on, over 700 worship flags have passed through my hands, and almost none of them were sold. They were paid for by friends who heard what I was doing, believed it mattered, and quietly put money toward flags they would never hold themselves. I have rarely had to ask twice.
I am not a flag maker. I am something closer to a courier. The gift belongs to the makers, and I have learned everything I know from them: about colour, about cloth, about why we do this at all. My part has been to notice where a flag needs to go and then to get it there.
Then in 2019, I came across the King of Glory flag on Etsy shop by Meghan from Dyed4Flags. There were plenty of other flags featuring the Lion of Judah, but I was fixated on this one. I sensed it was meant to be given away, and not just once. Meghan's original silk flags sell for USD 175 each, which put that well out of reach. I bought two, gave them both away, and knew that was as far as buying would take me.
So I wrote to Meghan and asked whether she would give me the rights to reprint the flag in Asia. I had never printed a flag in my life. Every flag I had given away until then, I had bought from someone else. Her reply came back quickly. Papa said to give it to you for free. There was one condition. For every flag I printed, I would print an identical one for her.
What followed was six months of working it out. I reached out to supplier after supplier in China, testing materials and sizes. Silk was never going to be affordable, so we ended up on a polyester blend that held the colour and moved the way it needed to. We went through around forty variants before we landed on it, and every one of them was printed twice, because Meghan's twin was owed from the very first test. Not everything worked. One flag came back far too big, and when a professional dancer waved it, the end dragged along the floor. It had to be trimmed, so we sent it to a tailor. He turned out to be a Christian who attended King of Glory Church. The flag was called King of Glory. It was indeed God's confirmation.
I still had no idea who the flags were for. Eventually I knew the number, 300, the number of Gideon's men, and that November we learned of the Welcome the King of Glory Gathering in Nazareth. I had planned to give them 150 to distribute, but when Meghan heard about it, she contributed the other 150.
Three hundred flags went out there to worshippers from around the world. Within months, the world shut down because of COVID-19, but the flags were already scattered. Australia, Brazil, Hong Kong, New Zealand, South Africa, Switzerland, the border crossings of Israel, and Turtle Island. (I later found out that Turtle Island was a term used by native Americans to refer to the combined land of the US and Canada.
In 2019, I also met Keri from Flags for Faith. I asked her for a set of 5 flags for my wife and her 4 close friends. She prayed about it and was given Isaiah 43:19:
Behold, I will do a new thing,
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
I will even make a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.
She created 5 new designs based on the verse: 1. Behold, 2. New Thing, 3. Spring Forth, 4. Road in the Wilderness, 5. Rivers in the Desert
I believe that I am her first customer for prophetic flags. Each flag arrived with a verse and a word from her team. I have given away more than twenty of her prophetic flags. One youth could barely speak when she was handed hers, because she had already seen that exact flag in a vision a week before.
That is what The Blue Thread is. A single blue thread in the corner of a garment was never meant to be admired. It was meant to be seen in motion, catching the light as someone walked. It has never really been about the cloth. The focus is the Lord.
Let the worship flow from non-professional flaggers. Let's make worship flags accessible to all.
