If you follow the work of Vision Forum, you know we are passionate about history—especially the history of the people of God throughout time, and the history of this nation. History is the story of God’s miraculous Providence working through world events and regular men and women.

For over ten years, we have sought to tell the true story of America; the part that is ignored or vilified by an academia increasingly hostile to the Faith of our Fathers. We have done this from the shores of Iwo Jima, on the streets of Williamsburg, by the battlefields of Yorktown), in the sacred halls of Philadelphia, and by the landmarks of our Pilgrim parents. We have done this through Faith and Freedom Tours, History of the World Conferences, and the Jamestown Quadricentennial: A Celebration of America’s Providential History.
And we praise the Lord for all true sons of liberty with a similar passion. We thank the Lord that we are not alone in this mission. All throughout America, there are pockets of resistance popping up here and there. I think of examples like Ken Ham’s remarkable Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky, or the great work of our friend, Dr. Marshall Foster of the Mayflower Institute.
But there is a “new kid on the block” that I want to introduce you to. I encourage you to visit www.circahistory.com.
This is the home of the Circa History Guild, a new and exciting organization that is much more than a museum and website. Circa is an inspiration.
Founded by John T. (JT) Adams (a direct descendant from John Quincy Adams) and staffed by chief historian and long-time Vision Forum friend, Bill Potter, Circa is a refreshing contribution towards proclaiming God’s providential work in the American story.
A few weeks ago, I had dinner with JT and Bill near Circa’s headquarters in Alpharetta, Georgia. I was genuinely touched by JT’s passion for America and his desire to encourage all Americans to tell their own story. He said he wanted young Americans to start asking questions to their fathers and grandfathers. This was music to my ears!
And JT is willing to put his money where his mouth is. Circa has a monthly contest, where people can submit their own American stories for a chance to win $250 and a shot at winning $1,000, when the best story is chosen from monthly winners on September 17th—Constitution Day.
I encourage you, as a family project, to submit a story to Circa. And please tell your friends about the Circa History Guild and encourage them to support this important work.
