About Us

What Does "DPI" Stand For?

"DPI" is short for "Discount Photographic Imagination." Our founders initially created this fun play on words to express our goals (i.e., "dpi" or "dots per inch" is the resolution of digital images). Discount Photographic Imagination is a bit of a mouthful, though, so we prefer just "DPI"!

Our Goals

Our goals are to glorify God and to serve those who serve Him. All DPI profits go to the direct support of full-time work in the least-reached parts of our world! DPI was created to provide a high-quality product that is affordable on a typical ministry budget. We have done everything possible to keep expenses low so that prices remain low. At the same time, DPI is determined that all profits go back into the missionary/ministry community by employing professional designers who are already in ministry in one form or another and know what it is like to live with a ministry budget.

How Does DPI Keep Prices so LOW?

Because one of our primary goals is to save money for our missionary brothers and sisters, we do everything we can to limit overhead expenses while keeping quality high. We have established agreements with press printers and photo-development companies to print for us at reduced prices which we then pass on to our customers.

Why Should I Consider DPI?

DPI is committed to serve you as ministers, missionaries, or missions teams. We believe there are four reasons you should consider allowing us serve you:

• Price: We have pledged to offer the best prices available for prayer cards, prayer letters and other services. We see this as a way to come alongside your ministry rather than a business tactic.

• Quality: We offer the highest quality available. From design to print to products used, we have determined that we will NOT sacrifice quality to keep costs low.
• Individual Attention: Unlike other companies, DPI does not use "cookie cutter" templates and present it to you as a custom design. We match you one-on-one with a professional designer who will create a prayer letter from scratch to specifically address your needs.
• Ministry Commitment: All profits of DPI go to full-time work in the least reached parts of the world. In addition, all of our staff are committed ministers themselves who have determined to spend their time and money in the service of Christ.
