Bob Jones University Publication - Milwaukee Missions Photographer

Have you ever had a day that seems entirely surreal? Something happens that you've been waiting a long time for, or you've questioned ever happening. Today was like that for me. 

 I received hard copies of my first ever published work! A few months ago, the editor of the Bob Jones University magazine contacted me. He'd stumbled upon my image collection from my time in South America, and wanted to use a few images for a story in their next issue. My response to his question was an elated "OF COURSE!". I am so excited to not just be getting published, but aid in sharing a powerful story of a family in the Amazon, who have adopted 4 children, and work as missionaries. 

The houseboat in the last full-page image is the missionaries' actual home! While in Brazil, I got to meet their Boxer (seen in the image) - we quickly became friends! 


I am thankful to God for this chance to use the gifts he's given for His work!


Thanks for taking a read & a look. Stay warm.

The full-page image of the dog & houseboat is mine. The image of the family is not mine; I don't know who took it, although I wish I did!
