Missional Photographic Storytelling
by Christine Tan
To me, photographs truly come alive when I know the stories behind the people. Portrait photography is a great starting point, but I don’t want to stop at simply creating beautiful, natural images.
In 2022, I completed my first missional photographic story in Thailand—combining images and interviews to share how people around the world are sharing the Gospel of Jesus. My portrait work fuels this deeper mission: uncovering and revealing the often-unsung efforts of those loving their neighbors and sowing seeds for the Kingdom of God.
Your generous support of my portrait work makes this possible.
Thank you for helping bring this vision to life.
