In the heart of compassion and dedication, Christian Record Services (CRS) (christianrecord.org) stands tall as it celebrates an incredible milestone—125 years of unwavering commitment to serving individuals worldwide who are blind and visually impaired. Since its inception in 1899, CRS has been a beacon of hope, breaking down barriers and providing life-changing services to individuals facing vision challenges.
In September, CRS celebrated their 125th anniversary with a special dinner and ceremony on the campus of Union Adventist University, which is where the ministry was first housed when moving to Nebraska! The event was attended by board members, former staff and many community supporters. In addition, proclamations from Governor Jim Pillen and Mayor Leirion Gaylord Baird were read.
“The organization’s founder, Austin O. Wilson, dreamed of more Christian braille resources for people like himself to learn more about God’s love for them. Reaching this monumental milestone demonstrates how his vision was fulfilled with the expanding services and programs offered through the years. We look forward to continued growth and meaningful service,” stated President Diane Thurber.
As CRS commemorates 125 years of service, it stands as a shining example of love, resilience and the transformative power of dedicated service. Here’s to the past, present and future of CRS as it continues to illuminate the path toward a more inclusive, accessible world for the blind and visually impaired community.
