The Vision Forum 2005 Faith and Freedom Tour is just a few weeks away. This year, we travel to the middle states of America from Philadelphia to Princeton on a journey that will take us from the parishes of patriot pastors to the battlefields of Brandywine and beyond. We will come to better understand the sociology of family life in America, study warfare, painting, and architecture, and meet the patriots and preachers through whom God blessed a nation.

From my perspective, this is one of the most joyous, family-building, providence-proclaiming activities sponsored by Vision Forum Ministries. It is a time for like-minded families to spend a week together in sweet fellowship as we travel back through America’s providential past.

Regretfully, we can only take 150 people on each tour. This means that that every year, we are faced with a pretty large waiting list and many disappointed families.

For the first time in the history of our ministry, we will be expanding the trip to allow more families to come. In 2006, we will conduct two tours. The first tour, around the fourth of July, will be our Jamestown to Jubilee tour. The second tour will occur during Thanksgiving week in and around Plymouth, Massachusetts. Although we have not yet officially announced the tours, you may sign up for them online. Space is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. I expect these tours to fill within days of formally announcing them, so act now if you want to come. (Click here for more details.)
