It saddens me that we will not be able to include all of them in the book, not even close. If I was to include every photo, we’d have something that would rival Encyclopedia Britannica (actually, I’d have a 2,000 photo advantage).

As I sift through the thousands upon thousands of photos, I would like to take the time to share some of them with you. Some may make it in to the book and some may not. Some will stir at my heart some may just catch my attention that particular day. I have no set formula as to how I will select them but I hope in some way that they will speak to you.

Enjoy and as always, your feedback is welcome and appreciated.

This photo was taken during our time in Waveland, Mississippi, a small town situated on the Gulf of Mexico, which became ground zero for Hurricane Katrina. Five years after the storm hit, they are still rebuilding.

With God’s timing we were there at the same time as a team from New Jersey. A team that felt that the spiritual care for the people was as important as the physical rebuilding that they split up into two teams. The prayer team would go out in to the community to visit, listen, pray and to help this broken town heal.
