The greatest man I have ever known is my father, Howard J. Phillips. Eternally optimistic, boundlessly self-sacrificing, principled and persevering, Dad has always been an inspiration to me. It is because of Dad’s vision, his supreme faith in God, his commitment to his children, and his aforementioned attributes that there is a Vision Forum today. I view my involvement in this work as an extension of His mission, expressed through the unique interests and passions of his first born son. If Vision Forum has been a blessing to you, remember to pray for God’s blessing for my father.
