Documenting Apostolic Christians

Documenting Apostolic Christians In The 21st Century is an investigative photographic study of the U.P.C.I ( United Pentecostal Church International ) & the Christians who make up the organization, its  a documentary covering the day to day activities associated with their faith.

I seek to portray this particular group of Christians for who they are as a people; with their varying forms of preaching, teaching praise & worship from both outside & inside the many different churches I seek to capture the truths behind their faith. I also seek to counter the negative views sometimes held by others of Apostolic Christians, in some ways it is a public relations campaign which seeks to portray the presence of the Spirit of God in a group of people who truly desire to be Christ like in all aspects of life. Not that Apostolic Christians need a public relations campaign, I just thought it would sound nice so I decided to throw that in. The truth is there are many, many loving & caring people in U.P.C.I I have many friends & people whom I love & who over the years have become some of the closest friends that I have ever come to know.

The following scripture is true of some Apostolic people…I kid you not!!

” By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” – John 13:35

Loving one another is the key to this worlds many ills, wouldn’t you agree?

Through my photographs, I strive to debunk the myths and shed a new light on an ordinary unique group of people who seek nothing more than to worship their God according the teachings of the scriptures.

I hope that my photographs have some redeeming and positive effect on those who pass through this blog, I know not all will agree but I’m not concerned with those who do not agree, this is not a agree or disagree issue.

This is about a photographer who’s ultimate goal is to reveal truth in photographs.

God bless!!
