About Clearer Vision Ministries, Inc. Founded in 1979 by Reverend Sam and Ann Thompson, Clearer Vision Ministries, Inc. grew out of a desire to meet the needs of blind Bible college students.

Blind since birth, Sam is able to identify with, not only the blind, but other individuals as well. Ordained in 1983, Sam has pastored and served as a member of the National Advisory Committee on Disabilities Ministries of The Christian Missionary Alliance. A graduate of Toccoa Falls College with a BS in Christian Education, Sam has recently received a Master of Arts in General Theological Studies from Columbia Biblical Seminary. He serves as President and Executive Director of Clearer Vision Ministries, Inc. Be sure to read his personal testimony,  "Once I Was Blind...",  as well as his insightful columns "From the President's Desk". Ann also graduated from Toccoa Falls College with a BS in Christian Education. Her background in education and first-hand experience with a blind spouse and other family members and friends with disabilities uniquely qualifies her to serve as the primary facilitator of our disability awareness events. She presently serves as Vice President/Director of Development and Office Manager. Sam, Ann or both are available for any speaking opportunity for a free-will offering, plus expenses. They will challenge you to reconsider the value God places on people with disabilities.  Having participated in countless disability ministry venues, including Joni and Friends’ Congress on the Church and the Disabled in 1988, Sam and Ann are highly qualified to deliver short messages concerning disabilities, as well as conducting more lengthy disability awareness seminars and even weekend-long events. They use a blend of Scriptural challenge, humorous anecdotes, hands-on experience and practical demonstration of common courtesies toward people with disabilities. These opportunities communicate that it is not enough just to minister TO people with disabilities, but that we should also be willing to minister WITH them.  For more information, Contact us.
