Fun Fundraising

American Vision had a fundraising dinner last Thursday. It was at Chene Rouge, a new facility in an old house in Hiram, about three miles from the office. It is a beautiful venue, specializing in weddings, but it worked perfectly for our catered dinner as well. The dinner was a great success, and quite enjoyable for the staff. Dr. Gary North spoke about the growth in technology from the mid-1800s to today, and AV's president, Gary DeMar, followed up with how AV is using that technology to get our message out to more people than ever before. AV's vision is this (from our website): An America that recognizes the sovereignty of God over all of life and where Christians apply a Biblical worldview to every facet of society. This future America will be a “city on a hill” drawing all nations to the Lord Jesus Christ and teaching them to subdue the earth for the advancement of His Kingdom; and our mission statement is: Restoring America’s Biblical Foundation—From Genesis to Revelation (Psalm 11:3).

Here are some pictures from Thursday's event.
