Thoughts on the recent Vision 21 Conference
January 10, 2022
WHAT IS VISION?
WHAT IS VISION?
"Vision is more than just a conference—it’s a gathering for international and American students to grow personally, experience a unique global community, and explore who God is through spiritual conversations."
- www.Visionconf.comVision Conference happens in a new city every year at the end of December and ends with a massive New Year’s Eve dance party. Vision’s goal is to bring international students from all over the USA together in one place for 4 days to learn from engaging speakers, tour the city, and celebrate with students from over 60 countries during our Community Night event and New Year’s Eve party! This year, though, we were blessed to have 72 countries represented with around 1,000 people in attendance!

I had the joy of co-leading a discussion table with my new friend, Patricia, a Cru staff member in South Carolina. Together, we were able to take our 8 students through discussions of understanding the story of ourselves, of heroes from our cultures, and, most importantly, the story of Jesus Christ.

8 And other seeds fell into good soil and produced grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.”

Vision is a lot of fun with games, touring the city, making friends from all over, and even a dance party, but our true focus is to love and serve these students in a way that demonstrates the love of Jesus while also providing opportunities for dialogue about who He is and what a relationship with Him means for their life.
Some deep discussions were had and some decisions were made, but their journeys still continue. No doubt, these students will be wrestling with lessons God has planted in their hearts.
Pray with us!

Please pray with us that the seeds planted at Vision 21 will have fallen on good soil.
Pray for everyone at this conference to see Jesus for who He truly is, and to see themselves for who they truly are: children of the Most High.
Pray also that they would accept Jesus into their hearts as their personal Lord and Savior.
