Living Proof

About a month ago I noticed that our church needed volunteer photographers to help in the media department. Our church is growing leaps and bounds and I thought what a great opportunity it would be for me to serve the church doing something that I love to do, taking pictures. I was accepted and the adventure started!

My first shoot was VBS (Vacation Bible School). That in itself was a truly blessed experience. I watched as children accepted Jesus into their hearts for the first time. I watched the youth reaching out to the Lord and embracing him. What a wonderful honor to photograph such an amazing event!

Yesterday I went to capture the Aeffect Teens as they worked in the Third Ward of Houston to clean overgrown and trash filled lots. They also painted houses that needed a face lift. When I showed up on the work sight they were sweating and working hard. I was overwhelmed with the stories they shared with me and how uplifted they were even after working all week on this job. These teens were definately "Living Proof of a Loving God to a Watching World". I was amazed at the giving hearts of these teens and was also very proud to meet them. I watched as they worked and at times had to hold back the tears because my emotions were high.

Here are some pictures from yesterday. I'm very happy that I was asked to work on this project and capture the youth of America doing what you'd expect and want them to do!
