Every Picture Can Tell God's Story
Winsome Witnessing of Jesus Using Photographs
They mark the moments, days, years, and decades of our lives. They commemorate special occasions and everyday events. They express the gamut of human emotion.
“They” are photographs, those printed images we paste in albums, display in frames, send as Christmas cards, and often stuff in drawers, boxes, and trunks.
What use do you make of the photographs you’ve taken or received? Have you used them as a way to witness Jesus’ saving love and God’s power and provision in our lives? The images you’ve captured through the lens of your camera can tell God’s story in a unique, creative, and compelling way.
The six sessions of this study are designed to open your eyes to new ways in which you can be a winsome witness of Jesus using your own personal photographs and experiences. Images captured in the past can help you tell God’s story of salvation with meaning and conviction.
At the conclusion of the study you will have made your own personal Witness Album to share with friends and acquaintances.
This study is written by Diane Grebing who is currently serving as Vice President of Christian Life for the Southern Illinois LWML District. Diane is a freelance writer for Concordia Publishing House for 29 years. She and her husband, Rev. Terry Grebing, live in Bunker Hill, Illinois.

Bible Study Series
Your Strong Suit
Author, Donna Pyle, and LWML have teamed up to produce an eight-lesson Bible study Your Strong Suit based on Ephesians 6:10-18. Presented with state-of-the-art filming and stunning graphic design this study promises to be a favorite with churches who invest in it and spiritually enrich those who use it.
Your Strong Suit is versatile and can be used in a number of settings. It is especially “portable” and can be done wherever there is a DVD player and women who are anxious to learn from the Word of God. It was filmed before an audience at Salem Lutheran Church, Tomball, Texas, this past spring and has undergone doctrinal review by the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.
Author, Donna Pyle, has been involved in LWML since 1997, having served as a Zone Young Woman Representative, Society President, Zone President, Texas District Recording Secretary and Vice President of Christian Life. Donna said, “No other women’s organization has impacted my spiritual journey as deeply as LWML. God has blessed me incredibly through the mission and ministry of LWML. Simply stated, I want to pass the blessing forward.”
The study comes as eight lessons on two DVDs. Included is an 85-page, color-print workbook with wire binding making it easy to flip through and take notes in. Additional workbooks can be ordered
