The mission at Lens of Praise is to celebrate God's Word through the beauty of His creation by pairing original photography with Bible verse in the form of greeting cards, notecards, calendars and posters.  As Christians, we believe it is our responsibility to not only reach the lost with God's message of love and salvation but to encourage and disciple fellow Christians through His Word.  At a time when email and instant messaging seem to dominate communication, our goal was to create a means for people to reach out to one another with hand-written sentiment, by combining images acquired through travel with Scripture to remind us of God's presence in the world and in every aspect of our lives.

Chris and Julie Washer began the Lens of Praise project in 2009 and currently have an inventory of over 90 images paired with Scripture.  All images are original work, used with permission by Chris Washer Photography.  Scripture is taken from the NASB translation and also used with permission.  Cards are produced locally, with printing handled locally as well as throughout North America. Our heart's desire with this site and online store is to expand the reach of these products to encourage people throughout the US and beyond.  Your support of Lens of Praise supports a small business that believes in tithing ten percent minimum back to the Lord.  Our tithes go to our local church and also help fund ministry efforts overseas.

In addition to our retail sales, we offer wholesale pricing. Call us to discuss wholesale accounts as well as custom projects to help you in your ministry.  We would love to see these products assist in fundraising efforts or help stock your bookstore or media center.  Any image can be made into a standard 16x20 inch poster as a special order.   Tell us how we can best serve your needs.​
