Dear friends,
Greetings in the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ – To God be the glory, for the things he has done (and is still doing as we share his life-giving Word across Australia)!
The value of our work together continues to come into sharp focus with comments like this;
“Thank you for your continued encouragement in a world that seems to have gone mad. We are encouraged to look to God daily for His direction and provision. Listening to Vision radio has been what we have needed in these past couple of months. It’s been great to listen to music that upholds Christ and the teaching of God’s Word. May there be more people come to know Jesus through this ministry. Let’s keep proclaiming the Good News of Jesus!!” (from a grateful Vision supporter).
Does that reflect how you feel? Australia needs Jesus!
Supporting Vision is one of the simplest, most practical and impactful things that helps fellow Aussies look to God, as together we share the truth and hope of his Word through media.
We are truly thankful for all our supporters once again this year – knowing that everyone who partners with us are making a huge difference. No matter what you can give – it all plays its part, in good faith!
We’re also super encouraged by the response we saw during our recent Visionathon (which kicked off our mid-year appeal time). All the donations, testimonies and uplifting words of encouragement and support that so many give was an active demonstration of Psalm 133:1 “Behold how good and pleasant it is when believers dwell together in unity” – Amen!
It also gave us a window into the world of those who see Vision as the family that they can lean on daily to help them get through some of the most difficult times in their lives. One in particular came from Lenaire in NT that took my breath away…
“I have no permanent address, homeless 🙁 Vision has been such an encouragement and blessing through all the hard times, especially recently through the times my daughter has been deeply depressed and suicidal. Thank you all so much”
I can’t quite imagine what this lady and her family are going through, being homeless and dealing with such a devastating mental illness. Lenaire is just one of many people facing big challenges, and while we can’t be there with them all physically, it is an honour to be able to help them lift their eyes to the Lord daily as they walk through these challenges.
As we work together as a family, you and our Vision team are spreading the Gospel message across Australia every single day…and the promise that “God’s Word will not return void” is proving very true.
It is our desire to continue to help Australia look to God daily, and ultimately to see revival in the heart of every Australian!
Thank you for being part of this important mission, and for your gift during Vision’s annual mid-year appeal.
In His Service,
Phil Edwards
Chief Executive Officer
