New Vision Ministries (Bessemer, Alabama, USA)
New Vision Ministries in Birmingham, Alabama, USA began in 1996 as a church plant by Eastern Mennonite Missions. Ron and Frederica Burt led the effort. Ron had been employed by the Birmingham Water Works for 17 years. The effort included after-school tutorial programs, tent revivals, and street witnessing, as well as Summer Bible School.
In 2000 the Lancaster Mennonite Conference "released" the 14 churches it had established in the southeast United States to form a new network called Good News Fellowship (GNF). New Vision Ministries became part of this new fellowship.
In 2001, the small congregation launched a building program for its own facility in the Bessemer suburb of Birmingham. In 2004, it had an average attendance of 25-30.
