Did you know a portion of every portrait session is donated to one of my supported ministries and/or organizations?  That's what "Photography with a Mission" is all about.  Vivitography was started out of my love for photography as a means of support for those who have devoted their lives to serving others, to the glory of God.  If you haven't already, please take a moment to read more about Vivitography under the "About" tab at the top of this page.  In the meantime, here is a look at the newest addition to my Support list:

FREE CITY INTERNATIONAL (FCI) is a 501c3 non-profit organization based in Dallas, TX that aims at creating a platform for the church body to “do life” with the refugees and disadvantaged peoples in our community and throughout the world. The Blanchards strive to love these people and show them the love of Jesus Christ by living as He did. Brad, Lindsey, and their son Cohen currently lives amongst these people in an area of Dallas known as Vickery Meadows, which houses one of the largest refugee populations in Texas. Since October of 2009, they have been building relationships with families from all over the world with different backgrounds and beliefs. Through immersion into their cultures, by living with them in their setting, their hope is that the Lord would allow them the opportunity to share our love for Him and participate in His work of building His church. FCI has also established several programs for connecting the church body at large with this community, and will be launching all programs on May 8th, 2010. More can be found about this organization and its programs by visiting http://www.freecityinternational.org. If you feel led to support the Blanchards financially in this ministry, you may do so by visiting the FreeCity website and following the link “CLICK//TO GIVE.” To designate the gift to the Blanchard ministry, please write #003 in the memo portion of your check.
