Marko - Finland

Nickname: Marko

I have been blessed with the gift of growing up in a Christian family. All my life I have been surrounded by Christians. However it is only during the last few years that I actually have concentrated on living for Christ. I have all my life believed that Jesus died for my sins, but it took me awhile before I started to use my gifts for His glory.

It is unbelievable how much my life has changed since I started to focus my life more and more on doing the Lord's work. Whatever I give Him I get back tenfolds. I'm grateful for having been allowed to grow up in a Christian environment. It has saved me from so much during my life.

As a teenager I had difficulties dealing with the fact that I don't have a specific time or place when I could say I was born again. Now I can see how big a blessing it is to have been allowed to live in a personal relationship with Jesus all my life.

Since all that I am and all that I have are gifts from God I want to make them count. My main job is working with commercials and layout, but photography is my passion.

For a couple of years I have had a dream of one day being a full-time photographer. Lately I have felt as if I should use my photographic skills for a higher purpose. So here I am: one man, one camera at God's disposal.

God Bless You all!
