Why Am I Here?

This week of teaching has been excellent. Dave and Laura are part of the leadership of Voice for the Voiceless in South Africa (which is where the track will be situated from September - December) and I am so excited to be able to work alongside them. Laura was speaking on evangelism this week, while Dave taught on photography. Both are very passionate about the work they are doing. All of our weeks of teaching basically came to a head in this week - how to tell others about Jesus, using our photography, which is exactly the reason that we are all here. The vision for photogenX is to use photography as a tool for cultural transformation so that issues such as gender based injustice will be issues of history instead of the future. To be a voice for the voiceless, knowing the power of photography. We will be able to use pictures to bring stories back home, as well as validating the people who we take pictures of - they are important, they have a purpose on this planet and they are loved.
