I’m currently working on designing a prayer card for MBK (My Brother’s Keeper) ministries in Romania. I was able to be in Romania in March of 06 specifically to document this ministry’s work photographically (joining me also on this trip: Jacob, Kirby, and Bev) . So, I’ve been sifting through the gazillion photos I took, and thought I’d post a few. These are just a few of the images that have been burned into my memory of people and experiences that have changed my outlook on life.

MBK is a Romania-based ministry, whose outreaches include radio and choir ministry, a crisis pregnancy center, orphanage aid, and VBS and camps for village children from homes like this.
We were able to go to a school in a small village where I took photos of the children and then returned a week later to give them a photo of themselves, of which they have never had before. They were so estatic. If you notice in this picture, the little boy with Jacob is still wearing the exact same clothes that he had on the photo. This was definitely the most rewarding thing I’ve ever been able to do with my photography – we take for granted the smallest things.
We also spent some time in the city of Oradea, one of the “epicenters” of MBK’s outreaches.
This is our “cd cover” shot of our small group that went on that incredible 3 week trip.
