In the image of God
Areopagus #18
T
his is a big week for Keri Shay. On Friday the 22-year-old Chicago-based Salvationist graduates from a four-year degree program in photography. Then she plans to work as a freelance photojournalist. As someone steeped in the Army’s predisposition toward the poor, Shay has a calling to use her photographic gifts to celebrate the dignity, the stories and the moments in time of people often forgotten and neglected. She is called to serve… but with her camera.
She also serves the body of Christ as a vocalist for The Singing Company, a contemporary ensemble that tours and performs throughout the US and elsewhere in the world.
In this Areopagus feature we bring you Shay’s photographs, a Singing Company song in which Shay is the soloist and portions of an interview with this young woman who seeks God’s glory in wisps of light. Click on the photo of Shay in India to view the presentation which runs 4:17.

a picture may say a thousand words. i didn’t count how many words were in that 4:17, but i do know that they only rub the surface on the millions of words it would take to say how amazing you are, keri. i owe a lot of who i am to you and your encouragement. that was a really nice video/audio/singing/slideshow thing.
You are using your God-given talent in an amazing way, Keri. Thank you for sharing your journey. I cannot wait to see where He leads you next. Change the world, girl!
Keri - wow! I couldn’t hear the music or the talking (our connection isn’t fast enough for it!) but I was able to see all of the beautiful photos. It made me want to climb into your backpack!
The photos are BEAUTIFUL and it is so easy to see God in all of those people. Thank you for sharing, and please continue to do so! with grace, Rochelle
Keri: I love your work. God has given you a wonderful gift. Thanks for sharing it. We (Christians) must look for ways to experience people who are different from us, love them, and let them love us. You have helped me to do that.
