We at Message of Life Ministries California have been asked numerous times where the artwork for the website comes from. So, we're dedicating a page to the artwork used. Most of of the pictures are in fact original creations of Message of Life Ministries. Given the nature of our work, we spend quite a bit of time traveling and get to see God's handiwork in all its awe and wonder. More photos of people and places we've ministered at are still to come.
However, there are some pictures that we cannot claim credit for, particularly on the Sermons & Teaching page. Fortunately, there are centuries of Western art dedicated to illustrating Biblical truth and on this page we'd like to acknowledge each individual work of art.
