Vision Conference 2025
A Celebration of Culture and Unity!

I’m excited to share about this year’s Vision Conference! While we had about five hundred thirty students attending, fewer than in past years, the conference was still a powerful experience.

One of our remarkable speakers was George Varghese, one of the inventors of the Internet. His insights were inspiring! We also had other great speakers, which always draws students to this conference.

I was co-directing the final night’s New Year’s Eve party and the Global Showcase with my friend, Jess Turner. We renamed the talent show to "Global Showcase" to emphasize cultural representation.

The Global Showcase highlighted the diverse talents of our students, reflecting God’s creative ability. It was beautiful to see students showcase their unique cultures, illustrating how our differences ultimately celebrate the beauty of God’s creation. Having the Global Showcase as part of Vision Conference is crucial for our ministry. It shows students that we care about them personally and their cultures. It creates excitement and serves as a draw for students to attend, making Vision Conference a welcoming space for everyone.

A standout moment was when Dejason, a long-time attendee, led a dynamic line dance. He created a dance that represented unity through flags and a song about bringing cultures together. His enthusiasm was infectious, and he taught the audience how to join in, creating a powerful moment of celebration.

I also want to highlight my fantastic co-director, Jessica Turner, and our main team members Jayla and Erin. It was a joy working together to make this event memorable.

Thank you for your continued support and prayers as we seek to create a welcoming space where all feel valued and at home!
