Today we heard from Porsha who told us what a day in the life looks like for a social worker. She’s often on the front lines of helping teenagers from dangerous situations.

Congregations for Kids plays a huge role in our community and we’re thankful for the life changing work that they do. ♥️

Having a child with a disability in Kenya is an en

Having a child with a disability in Kenya is an enormous emotional, physical, and financial burden for children and their families. The cost of therapy and equipment is simply unaffordable for many families, leaving many children underserved. They sometimes live in isolation and family members often are unable to work because they choose to stay home with their children.

In July of 2016, the Special Needs Clinic (SNC) at Tenwek Hospital ofﬁcially began its ministry for children with disabilities. Children from birth to age 18 can now receive proper identiﬁcation, assessment, and management of various disabilities at the SNC.

The SNC was the dream of Solomon Rop, a physical therapist at Tenwek. Join us as we follow Solomon for an ordinary Friday afternoon delivering wheelchairs.

After a month of war, millions of displaced Ukrain

After a month of war, millions of displaced Ukrainian refugees are either living in metro stations, schools, churches, or fleeing with their families to neighboring countries to the West. Ukrainians are strong, their perseverance is inspiring, and we are constantly praying for peace in Ukraine.

Did you know that Charlotte has the largest population of Ukrainians living in North Carolina? If you know of any organizations or events in Charlotte that are supporting Ukraine, let us know so we can share. 🇺🇦

Gordon Parks, one of the greatest photographers of

Gordon Parks, one of the greatest photographers of the twentieth century, was a humanitarian with a deep commitment to social justice. He left behind an exceptional body of work that documents American life and culture from the early 1940s into the 2000s, with a focus on race relations, poverty, civil rights, and urban life.

Especially during black history month, we celebrate men like this who paved the way for photographers like Joseph Ross. In Joseph's young, four year career, he has already had the opportunity to produce photography for clients such as Apple, Forbes, Rolling Stones, SPIN Magazine, and Warner Brothers Music. His goal is to facilitate an environment that produces joy and authenticity through the art that he creates with his clients. You can watch Joseph’s Neighbor film through the link in our bio. The rights to this Gordon Parks photo belongs to the Gordon Parks Foundation/HBO.

“A neighbor is an extended family." Erik fell i

“A neighbor is an extended family."

Erik fell in love with working on cars as a young boy and jumped right into working at a dealership after high school. After spending a couple decades at the dealership, he decided to uproot his life and go into the Army. Erik served in the Army for 7 years. His assignment while in Afghanistan was detecting and locating IEDs, which saved many lives. An obviously dangerous job, Erik suffered at least 7 concussions during his tenure because of IED explosions and was medically discharged because of damage to his brain.

In the Army, Erik learned the importance of sacrificial service, and he instills those values now to help others. He has found purpose in being able to give back by helping his neighbors and his community through the garage he runs in his backyard. “It’s when you are giving back that God is smiling the biggest," Erik says. He has seen his community grow through his effort to help his neighbors. His shop has turned customers into friends and neighbors into family!

Taken in in a rural village in Bhognagar, Banglade

Taken in in a rural village in Bhognagar, Bangladesh, the Banyan tree is a place for villagers to come and meet. Its wide canopy provides great shade for those that rest underneath them. This tree was close to the rice fields that were being harvested.

Local village children followed us out to the tree and were curious as to what we were doing there. It was amazing to see how the women would take large piles of rice on their head and walk them to larger piles closer to their homes for processing the rice further. The elevated walkways were paths to allow access to every corner of the fields.

At a training session with Missionary Athletes Int

At a training session with Missionary Athletes International (MAI) in Bangladesh, the men attending learned not only how to coach and do drills with their future teams, but more importantly learn how to be mentors, teachers, and leaders for their teams. A coach can be one of the most influential figures in a young person’s life.

And we love how in scarcity, innovation can take place. The dirt field can be come a canvas to show training methods by simple lines in the sand. The men didn’t have soccer cleats and played barefoot. It’s amazing how through a simple game of soccer there is the potential for so much impact in the lives of people around the world.

Here at Silent Images we believe in celebrating stories of hope.

No matter what we do, where we’re from, or what we look like, we all have this deep need for something more. The I AM 24/7 movement started in Grier Heights over 8 years ago with a soccer ball, a bag of candy, and a couple of soccer players from the Charlotte Eagles. They brought a simple message of transformation: “Jesus loves you and has a plan for your life.”

Aleksei lives just a couple miles from the war-fro

Aleksei lives just a couple miles from the war-front in an area of East Ukraine. A once thriving village, rich in natural resources, has been devastated by the on-going conflict. There are few jobs, the closest access to health care is over an hour away, and a lot become displaced from shellings or invasions. While Josh was in Ukraine, walking the streets of the village to learn how Ukrainians live, Aleksei was gracious enough to invite him to his home and share his life story with him. Through heartache and struggle, Aleksei finds solace in keeping himself busy tending his land, where you can find pear, plum, cherry, and nut trees, along with grapes vines, vegetables, and fresh honey from beekeeping. Aleksei can teach us much about perseverance and joy.

“Life has gripped me, and still I live.”

As you watch this film, please join us in praying for Ukraine and the on-going conflicts as well as the recent rise in tensions with Russia.
