2011: New Missions of Honor, Exploration, and Dominion
In 2011, Vision Forum will take a team of fathers and sons deep into the heart of Amazonia to investigate mysteries of the ancient world, to learn about the great battles of environmental pantheism, and to explore the lost legacy of adventure and dominion — all part of our Into the Amazon Adventure. We will also lead a group of grateful patriots to Normandy for a special tribute to our World War II fathers, both living and dead. Those who cannot be in Normandy with us can follow events through our online video tour. Vision Forum will also launch our most ambitious project to date, as four individuals — an expedition leader, a young girl, an astrophysicist, and a businessman — will journey to the edge of outer space as part of a unique documentary film that refutes pantheism and declares the glory of God. All this is in addition to our other ongoing projects and signature events designed to encourage Christian families.

Our Commitment to Good Stewardship
We are constantly amazed at how God meets our needs and provides just enough financial resources to allow us to continue this debt-free ministry. We take your support very seriously and believe that every penny must be wisely and strategically used to bring practical help and a message of hope to the “remnant” — to encourage those who desire to see God bring revival to the family, the church, and society. Therefore, we strive to do the very best we possibly can, to steward our resources, and make every penny stretch, to accomplish the most with what we have been entrusted. A financial oversight board, as well as in-house accounting and an outside CPA firm, all help to ensure the integrity of this ministry.
We are thankful for every person who has chosen to financially stand with Vision Forum Ministries and partner with us. Thank you for your prayers and support.
