Portraits of LOVE

I will be doing a fundraiser this year to raise money for a few organizations that help orphans and help fight against human trafficking (mainly sex trafficking).  It's so awesome to look back from my first post on this blog about getting started with my photography journey and how I wanted it all to bring honor to God. 

There are over 153 million orphans worldwide.

There are over 27 million people worldwide in bondage from human trafficking.  

My heart has been heavily burdened by these statistics.  I asked God how He wanted me to help.  I really wanted to help on-hands with an organization that is working for these two causes. I would adopt a child this very second if I could, but due to finances....I wait for God's perfect timing.  God said, "I want you to give. For now, I want you to give to support these ministries."  

He showed me how I can use my photography to raise money to support these three organizations:

Show Hope www.showhope.org

Project Rescue www.projectrescue.com

Starfish Project www.starfish-project.com

I encourage you to check out these websites to learn more about each ministry!  I will be doing photo shoots this year, and every single penny will go to support these three organizations.  

God's been challenging me to live beyond myself. My heart says, "I want to save the world!" Maybe He has something bigger in store for me to do down the road, but for now, God tells me to be a voice and to give.  It's not always about WHAT we do or HOW BIG we do it.....it's about how OBEDIENT we are to what God asks of us.  

Please keep the "Portraits of LOVE" fundraiser in your prayers this year and please continue to pray for all the orphans and many lives that are victims of slavery.  Ask God how He would have you help with these causes.
