Over the weekend my school had a fund raiser called the HeArt of Missions. The missions committee wanted students to enter their art work with the theme of "How God wants us to view the world" All proceeds went to our missionaries in residence who work with human trafficking. Anyway i was really hesitant to enter the photo just because i felt like if it didnt win then i would look at myself as less of an artist. Eddie(who is the one in this photo) really pushed me to do it, and so did my mom so i just did. Turns out i won for best photo! So excited. There were like 4 or 5 other photos, including 2 from the president of our school..and i won. I am pretty excited since i've never won anything before..and it goes to show that i AM a good enough artist. Here is the photo i entered..
Funny how a photo i took in china came to be judged and won a prize exactly a year later.

Priceless..........just like you are.
Nik...GREAT JOB!!!
I remember, like it was yesterday, taking this child's hand into mine. Her fingers were like ice, and her nails were so dirty. I'm almost positive she was staring back at me wondering "what is this strange man doing?"...but then again, I pray she saw Jesus, and NOT me.
In God's ultimate plan, He called us to take a journey across the world to adopt an orphan. In that PLAN, He also had this "moment in time" for me to hold this child's hand. One day in Heaven, we will know how many "moments" changed the lives of people for eternity!!!
I'm so proud to be your brother in Christ...but more than that, your friend!!!

That is a sweet photo. It send chills up my spine. We are the Body of Christ. Keep showing Christ through your work! Elizabeth
I also remember this scene. Congratulations on being selected the winner of the contest, a contest that obviously had great meaning. This photo of Eddie really captures the heart of Jesus Christ.
I love Eddie's comments.....When we do for the Least of These, we do as for the Lord!!!
