First Vision Night
November 7, 2002
Stegton's Banquet Center
1450 Wall Street
St. Charles, MO
The purpose
of our first Vision Night was to expose people to the purpose of Ministry to Men. We shared a story about the Man on
George Street and the parallel to 'Pay it Forward'. How as we receive the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
we 'pay it forward' by being available to share that good news with others.
The hope was to return the $10 (cost of
a ticket) to everyone and ask them to 'pay it forward', but God didn't supply the resources to do that and pay
our bills incurred for the dinner. But we did share the concept.
Dave Koblish, who has a music ministry from Minnesota
and sings with Billy Graham gave a concert. He also had a concert the following evening at Dardenne Presbyterian Church.
There were 90
people who attended.

This year's event honored Ben Blanton for his many years
of faithful service in leading the Wednesday morning bible study for the past 20+ years.
The original bible study has grown to ten bible studies throughout St. Charles County. We heard from men about
how the bible studies have impacted their lives. How Ben's faithfulness had touch many lives. Ben was awarded
the 'Planters Award' in appreciation for his faithfulness to our Lord.
There were 110 people in attendance.
We enjoyed a great dinner, entertainment and an update on what God is and has been doing through the bible studies.
We realize that what was shared is just the tip of the iceberg to all God is doing in men's lives in St. Charles
County.
