World Vision 60th Anniversary This Week

    
 
 World Vision Is Sixty
1950-2010
This week marks our celebration of World Vision’s 60th anniversary! Please join us by reading World Vision magazine stories related to our history, including “In My Father’s Footsteps,” Marilee Dunker’s moving account of visiting China, where her father found his inspiration to start World Vision (don’t miss her supporting blogs); or “Past Meets Present,” Dean Owen’s report on Korea—North and South—where World Vision began serving orphans and the poor in 1950.

Other stories include “Eyewitness to a Vision,” six first-person essays from key moments in World Vision’s history, and “Rest From Their Labors,” honoring staff members who gave their lives serving in the world’s most difficult places.

You can also watch videos about our history at worldvisiontv.org, including a clip of our founder, Bob Pierce, on “This is Your Life.” Or see a photo slideshow on World Vision’s website.

We at the South Puget Sound Chapter of Women of Vision, a program of World Vision, consider it an honor to be partnering with this incredible Christian humanitarian organization to bring hope to the poor and marginalized in our world. We join in celebrating sixty years of an incredible story of God's Hands extended through Dr. Bob Pierce whose heart was broken by the things that break the heart of God.
