Christian Photographers Community

Hi my name is Bruce and I'm new to CP. I recently moved to Knoxville, TN. I have a lovely wife, Beth and a great little son named Jonathan. I waited untill I was 40 to have my first child, so I get called grandpa a lot. People will say things like, "Is this your grandpa? or How old is your grandson?" I laugh. I have salt and pepper hair, so I look the part! Jonathan loves "Little Foot" the dinosaur in the "Land Before Time" animated series.
I found a great church in Knoxville. I graduated from Holmes Bible College in Greenville, SC in 2002. I lived in student housing, which is located in a poor neighborhood in downtown Greenville. There were a lot of problems that are common to inner city neighborhoods like; drugs, alcohol, prostitutes, vagrants, etc...I'm sure most people know what I mean. I tried to ignore it. It broke my heart to see all those little children with so many needs. I started making friends and I went to community meetings. I could not believe how warmly I was received. God lead me to start a ministry in the hood. It was easy because all I had to do was walk outside to start ministering. It was a wonderful time.
I graduated and we moved to knoxville. I don't live in the hood anymore, but I miss it. PLEAse pray for me. Pray that God will lead me and use me again. I'm kind of lost right now. It's like I had purpose and now I don't.  
I'm glad to be here, I'll be setting up a webpage, so I can download some of my pic's. I look forward to meeting you all.  Thanks and God bless!    Bruce.

Hey Bruce!

It's great to have you.  If you would like to, go to the button at the top of the page "GALLERY" and go and create an area in there and then you can post your photos on here.  We just ask that folks only upload 4 per day as I'm limited in my space.

Hope to see you in the New Every Morning.  We need more men in there!  LOL

I have a grandson named Jonathan and he's my pride and joy.  Looking forward to seeing your son.

My name is Matt
I have been here for a couple days.  I might be a little late introducing myself but here it goes.
I am a Christian photographer(you all knew that I'm sure)  I have a boy about 9 months old and my wife is pregnant with our second already.  Talking about being streched by God (awsome)  I have my own business called Elwood photography and it is basically portrait photography.  I am in a Christian rock band called "Silance no more"  we are not big, so you will not find us on-line anywhere.  I play rythm guitar.  My dream is to be a sports photographer and/or a promotional photographer for christian musicians.   If you know any Christian musicians, send them my way   
I love my Messiah, Y'shua (Jesus' hebrew name, in other words that is what his friends called Him)!!
I can't wait to get to know y'all and call you by the name your friends call you.
