Hey! So Glad You're Here.
Through my language studies at university, I spent time in France and Germany, followed by fourteen years of Christian service in North Macedonia. I moved to Cyprus as a full-time Christian worker in 2018. My pastimes include learning about other cultures, writing, photography and travelling. Sharing the transformative message of the Gospel and God's love with others is my priority in life.
We often rush past the beauty of nature in our chaotic lives. Who has time to register the majesty of even the smallest flower as we dash from one task to the next? I am happy to have spent the last few years in Cyprus, using the opportunity to photograph the idyllic surroundings. Cyprus boasts hundreds of species of flora and flowers that are particularly evident during the spring months. With the scorching sun of the summer months, it is amazing to see the resilience of some of nature's most colourful presence. Cyprus is one of the most photogenic spots on planet earth!
World news tends to be more negative than positive. My aim is to publish the 'good news' about Christianity, including Biblical texts and thoughts. The best news we could ever read is about the redemptive love our Creator has for us. We have all been born with a sinful nature and as a result, we are separated from God. He longs for a relationship with everyone through His Son, Jesus Christ, who offered Himself on the cross to atone for our sins. Through repentance and faith in Him, we are 'accepted in the beloved'. Through His righteousness, we can be deemed 'righteous' in the eyes of God.
Our broken world needs words of hope and healing. In Psalm 147:3 we read, "He (God) heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." With my blogs, I hope to portray Cyprus through the lens of my camera and share short devotions for the heart.
Please contact me through the site to request a free New Testament in English, Greek or Russian. May God bless you!
