Vision Video

 

Bill Curtis is the President of Vision Video, which was Founded by his Father, Ken Curtis.

 

We have had our Christian Film Night for over ten years,

 

obtaining over 200 Christian Films and Documentaries.

 

We were able to obtain almost all of them through Vision Video, from their  thousands of Films.

 

This has been a wonderful way to learn about some of the greatest men and women of God throughout history.

 

It has been a tremendous blessing and inspiration to us in our own ministry.

 

Films offered on their website have won close to four hundred film festival awards.

 

Christian History Magazine

 

…is our favorite magazine.   It is published four times a year. 

 

We have subscribed for years, and collected back issues (we are only missing four issues now, out of over 100).

 

Lay Monk Bob and I always excitedly waited to receive and read every issue.  

 

Many we have read three or four times.

 

They are extremely interesting, informative, and a joy to read.  

 

We always learned something new. 

 

Every week at our Christian Film Night, Lay Monk Bob would choose three past issues to read again during the week.

 

And three films that we had watched together, to watch again.

 

Your Comments: Ken Curtis (Founder & 1st President, Gateway Films/Vision Video; Christian History Institute)

10/7/02

Dear Rev. Preston,

My son Bill answered your recent e-mail about having a film on St. Columba.  As he indicated we have talked about this for years with our good friend Norman Stone, a Director living in Scotland.

 

I have been overseas but Bill sent me a copy of your email and I was fascinated to learn about your community and would love to know more about your order, its discipline, where you are located, when founded, etc.

 

Thanks for anything you may provide.

Ken Curtis                                                                                                       President, Gateway Films / Vision Video; Christian History Institute

It was so interesting to learn of your community and the details of your devotion to the Lord.

 

We find ourselves thrust into the middle of daily battle in the media worlds of Christian communication which only causes us to pause to thank God from time to time for those he has raised up to keep the incense of prayer stoked and burning before his presence continually.

 

So as and when our little ministries should ever come to your mind we would be so grateful if you would intercede before the Lord on our behalf. 

 

We need wisdom day by day, courage to live by the wisdom granted, and vision to pick the strategic entry points where our ministry will make a difference in a media world where we realize that we are a mere drop in the bucket (but if it’s the right drop it can permeate, can’t it?).

 

Again, we rejoice to know you are there.

Your brother in Christ,

Ken Curtis                                                                                                       President, Gateway Films/Vision Video; Christian History Institute

Ken Curtis Writing About Vision Video & Christian History Magazine:

 

“Telling the great epochs of Christian history shows us where things went wrong and what to avoid;

 

where things went right and what to emulate; and they give us encouragement when we’re down,

 

to realize there have been worse moments in the history of the church and yet God has delivered his people.

 

They provide an inexhaustible wealth of wisdom and encouragement

 

that can be extracted from becoming better acquainted with the historical family of Christ,

 

the great cloud of witnesses that have gone on before us.

 

 

This became Vision Video’s central calling and out of this came a need for written material that could accompany these Christian history films.

 

We realized we couldn’t tell in the films all that needed to be told on a given subject, so we actually started a magazine called Christian History Magazine which was to be a companion to the films.

 

It started out as an occasional publication and then we boosted it up to a quarterly publication and that became so much in demand that we realized it needed an existence of its own, so we made it a separate,  independent publication.”
