World Vision Acknowledges the Work of Avalon



World Vision acknowledged the efforts of Avalon during a special event at GMA Week 2006, held in early April in Nashville. Avalon has helped to unite more than 18,000 sponsors and children worldwide. During the live event, Russ Taff joined Avalon on stage to sing ?We Will Stand,? which was written by Russ Taff, Tori Taff and James Hollihan. The song was recorded by Avalon for their current release, STAND.

Avalon member Jody McBrayer said in a press release, "For me, child sponsorship is truly an amazing thing. Not only does it change the life of a child forever, but it also teaches us to appreciate every bit of what God has blessed us with."

?We?re grateful to be at a place in life where God is allowing us to be part of something bigger, to see a bigger picture,? added Janna Long, one of the founding members of Avalon.

Avalon has had over 3 million record sales worldwide and has recently joined the Women of Faith family, performing at 24 of the events in 2006.

World Vision, which was founded in 1950, is a Christian humanitarian organization serving the poorest children and families on six continents. The organization works with community leaders to help set goals that families can meet by working together. World Vision teaches people how to use their own skills and natural resources to escape poverty in addition to providing supplies such as food and medicine.

There are currently over 400 Christian and Gospel artists that support World Vision.

Some of the World Vision artists are ...
  • Go Fish, Todd Agnew, Mark Schultz, Taylor Sorensen, Margaret Becker, Sonicflood, and indie artists Brothers In Christ (BIC), David Kurtz and Frances Drost.
