Epoch Missions Gala

October 24, 2011 @ 6:00 pm - 12:00 am

This black tie gala is a chance to recognize and celebrate the past, present, and future of missions. Presenters include regular CNN contributor, Jon Acuff; author of The Scent of Water, Naomi Zacharias; Atlanta musician Aaron Keyes; and the founder of the National Christian Foundation, Bill High. A special performance by the Light the World Parade and Atlanta Jungle Boogie Crew, who appeared on America’s Best Dance Crew, will conclude the evening. $50,000 will be awarded during the evening to individuals and organizations dedicated to making a difference in the lives of others. Over 400 nominations from twenty-five countries recognized change agents who address a wide range of social issues including poverty, water advocacy, HIV/AIDS, sex trafficking, discipleship, homelessness, and church planting. Award finalists range from local organizations such as Atlanta’s own Beltline Bike Shop, as they connect underserved children with community service and a chance to earn a bike, to global outreaches like Trash Mountain, which aids the impoverished people living in the garbage dumps around the world.
