 Did your college group go hand out blankets to your city’s homeless over the Holidays? Did your youth group take a summer trip to help build an orphanage in Mexico? How about that time you and a few friends went to the nursing home down the street to sing for the elderly? Or what about that time when your FCA buddies helped out with a Habitat for Humanity build? Got pictures of any of these events? Share them…and you just might win $1,000 for your group! Because at Faithvine.com, pictures are worth 1,000 bucks…literally! With our "Hands of Christ" photo contest, we’re looking for images that capture the spirit of Christian service. We’re basing this contest on the following scripture: "…I was hungry and you fed me, thirsty and you gave me a drink, homeless and you gave me a room, shivering and you gave me clothes, sick and you stopped to visit, in prison and you came to me... Whenever you did on of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me—you did it to me."
