Hi there pao_alfonso...  

We are very proud of how friendly the gang here is and are glad you've joined us.  There is every level of knowledge here so feel free to jump into the forum and set up your album too in the Gallery no matter if you have just gotten your first camera today or have been a professional since the time of large format cameras.  

If you need help, the Shoutbox works well, and is a great way to pass the time too.  :)  

Make yourself at home and enjoy sharing this wonderful art form here at

:cp:

pao_alfonso, it's lovely to have you here.  Please make yourself right at home.  Tell us a little bit about yourself...where you live and what kind of camera you use.

How did you find Christian Photographers?

hello guys! yeah i'm from manila, it's about 10PM here, and I just came home from church. i found the forum through Google. I just search "christian photographers" and you were the first in the search results.  :D

I'm new in photography and I'm still fiddling around with the Nikon D40 my husband gave me as a birthday present a few weeks ago. :)

pao_alfonso:  Is this your first and last name or just your first name?
Welcome to CP. 

I found this site long ago by invitation from Pat who was on another site I was posting on.  It's funny how people find their way here.

They are Don and Barbara Arney, founders of Our God Reigns! Mission, Inc.  We were in Bible School together (graduated in 1982) and, all of a sudden, I can't think of the name of the place where their Bible School/Training Center is -- Rivers of Life Ministry Training Center, including schools, community development and tribal literacy ... They train pastors/workers and establish churches all over the area.

Some of their work includes more than 60 city and tribal churches.  Filipino missionaries working in Kazakhstan, United Arab Emirates, Mongolia,Thailand and Malaysia; churches planted among five tribal groups in Mindanao: the Mandaya, Manobo, Mamanwa, Dibabawan, and Omayamnum.

TMI, sorry .... I just praise God for allowing me to be associated with them.   ;)
