Nu-Vizion:
At Nü-Vizion Christian Fellowship in
In January, a letter was sent to all NWOA churches and many friends announcing the “100 for 1000” fundraising campaign. Briefly, NVCF is seeking 100 “giving units”—churches, church groups (youth fellowships, Sunday School classes, women’s groups, VBS groups, etc.) and individuals who would be willing to give $1,000 in 2006 to sustain and advance work of this exciting and cutting-edge ministry. As of this writing (late February) 17 “bricks” have been filled on the “100 for 1000” wall in the church office! THANK YOU!
If you or your church can help, or you would
like some more information about NVCF, the campaign, and the on-going
development of this ministry, please contact Nü-Vizion at 419-
