The world is a visual place. To gain and keep people’s attention, we need to have visual resources at our disposal. Stock photo and video websites are in abundance, but most have some kind of fee, either per-resource or a monthly subscription.

Please note: While we have quickly reviewed these sites, it is up to you to ensure that the photos you download are being used correctly. Each site may have a different license terms. GAiN and the Seventh-day Adventist Church will not be liable for misuse of the media sites below.
