Official PoP Photographers

PoP is so blessed with photographers who are willing to give of their time, talent and resources. I am so thankful to them for allowing God to use them in what I know will be a mighty way.

This is not a ministry that they are joining on a whim. Each one has taken the time to pray about their involvement and have even signed a pledge to pray for these families and to help meet their needs. They are an awesome group of Christians that I already feel a bond with.

**Unfortunately-- we need MORE PHOTOGRAPHERS! Please spread the word. We have so many families in our area that fit the criteria for this ministry-- so please tell your friends to tell their photographers! Send them this blog!

The email to get involved is portraitsofpraise@rocketmail.com

Please pray for these photographers-- that they will be a light in a dark time in the life of a family. That they will provide a moment of joy, that will point the way to the Prince of Peace.

Please pray for the families that will be ministered too. They are the heart of the entire ministry. Please pray for the wisdom of their doctors, and that the Lord will surround them with people who will pray for them and encourage them.

Please pray about YOUR involvement. Look under the links above for some ways you can be a part. We need sponsors, helpers, donations for t-shirts, people to work on fliers and brochures, and people to PRAY and help in the lives of the PoP families.

Also-- when choosing a photographer for your own family... please consider supporting a PoP photographer!

I am so thankful for everyone that has expressed interest so far-- I thank God for you!!

We will be listing sponsors and helpers soon-- please join us!!  Look at the info under all of the tabs above and contact us for any questions or concerns!!

Thank you!!
In Him---

Praises!!

I am sooo excited to announce that we have received information from more photographers!!
Thanks to all of you that are getting the word out! Let's keep it up!

Post the information and send emails to all of your photographer friends.

We will be accepting families in 2012-- and we need to be prepared so that we don't have to make a single family wait.

No photographer will be expected to take more than 1 family per month. So it shouldn't impede on anyone's responsibilities too much!

Praise the Lord for the ones we have so far--- I will be posting the names of the photographers soon so that you can support them! You may already know a few by seeing the "official PoP" photographer sunshine on their wall or FB.
Thanks you for everything!! We are blessed....let's spread it!!
Get PoPping!!

Portraits of Praise!!

Please take a close look at this ministry website!
Go to the link to the right that says ALL ABOUT PoP and it will explain what it's all about.

Pray that  God will get exactly who wants to be involved in this ministry.

Also pray for the families that will ministered to. I want this to be a moment of calm in the midst of a terrible storm.

We are so excited to see that God can make something from NOTHING.  We give Him all the glory for what he has done through this ministry-- already-- and what He WILL do.

Please email portraitsofpraise@rocketmail.com for more information or to sign up!

Pass the word!

It's launched!!!

Praise God for helping us to finally get most of the kinks out to get this ministry launched!! I have some photographers who are already signed up- and a few who are praying about it. I will be posting those names soon under the link above.
This is so exciting to see this vision finally coming to alive.
I have an email that is ready with the necessary attachments to send out to ANY and ALL photographers you think may be interested. Please email portraitsofpraise@rocketmail.com and I will send it to you.  We tried to make it as simple and cost effective as possible. Feel free to read through everything.

Also email me if you are willing to donate your time or talent. We have many areas that we could use your help... maybe not so much now--- but I know this thing will grow and I'd love to be prepared for it.

We are not planning to accept families for this until after May 2012. We are just trying to get some photographers in place for now.

We are also accepting family sponsors. For $75 you can sponsor a family session. You can do this anonymously, or I will be happy to list you or your business under the sponsor link. This money will be used to pay for the prints, cd's and other products for the families.

You can also donate to the organization. We would loooove to be able to provide t-shirts to the child we are ministering to along with the session. We would also like to provide them for the sponsors eventually. It would help spread the word and get more people involved. We want this to spread like a wild fire!!

Please be in prayer for us, the photographers, and especially the precious families that we will have the privilege of ministering to.

LET'S get POPPING!!!
