Samaritan's Purse :: Veggie Tales

Monday night Operation Christmas Child showed a brand new Veggie Tales Christmas movie to families from the community. Bob and Larry were there for the kids and I was very happy to take pictures of them. Cheese!
Operation Christmas Child is a ministry of Samaritan's Purse that distributes over 8 million shoebox gifts a year to children around the world. Each gift is an opportunity to share the love of Jesus Christ, "turning brokenness into blessing." These gifts are packed by people like you!

Boone, NC :: Ship Rock

I especially like this photo because I'm pretty sure I squint when I look at it. I give you permission to stare at the sun. Just this one. Try if you dare. This particular evening we hiked up in a furious gust of wind, but the payoff was priceless. Mountain sides of luminous color challenged our previous perception of reality. Seriously, it was gorgeous. Today, most of the color is gone. We are heading into winter and all I've got to remind me of those colors is this post... well, and a few other photos. Maybe if you ask I'll put up another.

Samaritan's Purse :: Paul Sherar, Photographer

This is Paul Sherar. Friend and fellow photographer at Samaritan's Purse. I want to direct you to his blog because he has just recently posted a few photos from the Phillippines, where Samaritan's Purse is working their hardest to deliver emergency supplies to those furthest from help.
Also make sure to check in to the blog of Samaritan's Purse photographer, Matt Powell. Paul and Matt are two storytellers and creative artist that I admire and learn from every day. I have no doubt you will be impacted by their work.
