BVI Schedules 60th Anniversary Banquet Gifts That Give Hope Fair To Move To New Location By Ann Mead Ash
“Our key words are accessibility, affordability, and adaptability as far as creating Gospel-rich materials and getting them out (to missionaries),” said Tom Luttmann, executive director of Bible Visuals International (BVI), 650 Main St., Akron. In employing those principles, Luttmann emphasized that the message is not compromised. “Jesus Christ - yesterday, today, and
forever,” said Luttmann. “How we do what we do has changed, but not the message.” BVI will celebrate 60 years of supplying missionaries around the world with ways of delivering that message at the organization’s annual banquet at Shady Maple Smorgasboard, 129 Toddy Drive, East Earl, on Friday, Oct. 25, at 6 p.m. A gluten-free meal option will be available. A number of speakers will address the gathering, including Luttmann and Jerry Durston, director of Club DJ, headquartered in Saskatchewan, Canada, which holds up to 400 Bible clubs each summer. Elinor Young, a special guest, will share stories of her time serving as a missionary in Irian Jaya, Indonesia, where she
