A New Year of Purpose

Dear Friends,

As we welcome the new year, we do so with deep gratitude for your partnership throughout 2025. What a year it has been! A year of heartbreak, resilience, and restoration here in the land. And through every challenge, your faithfulness helped Vision for Israel bring practical help and hope to those who needed it most.

In a time when poverty is growing and uncertainty remains, we’ve continued to see God’s hand guiding every step. Families struggling to put food on the table. Holocaust survivors facing winter without basic supplies. Israeli soldiers still reeling from trauma. Communities living with the daily threat of terror. These are the lives you’ve touched through your giving, your prayers, and your love.

Thanks to your support in 2025, we were able to:

• Provide gift cards for food, hygiene items, and clothing to struggling families
• Equip trauma-affected children and parents with resources for emotional healing
• Support local emergency response teams with life-saving equipment
• Install additional safety shelters in high-risk areas
• Offer relief packages to survivors of violence, loss, and displacement
• Supply more life-saving ambulances

And through our year-end campaign, you helped carry us across the finish line—empowering us to continue this vital work as we step into 2026.

But there is still so much to do.

Here’s where we feel the Lord leading us in 2026:

• Develop new programs to support reservists and their families as they heal from the invisible wounds of PTSD.
• Offer financial training for families in crisis, helping them rise above chronic poverty with practical skills and long-term hope.
• Install more safety shelters in vulnerable areas, so families have a place of refuge during rocket attacks or terror threats.
• Donate additional ambulances to emergency first responders, enabling faster and more effective emergency responses across the country.
• Stay prepared for the next crisis—whatever it may be. Whether it’s war, terror attacks, or economic collapse, we want to be ready to respond the moment disaster strikes.

But to keep moving forward, we need a stronger foundation of steady support.

Would you prayerfully consider becoming a monthly donor in 2026?

When you give each month—at any amount—you equip us to plan ahead, act fast, and serve with confidence. Monthly giving is the backbone of our mission. It allows us to say “yes” without hesitation when emergency response teams call for equipment, or when another siren sounds in the middle of the night.

Your steady partnership makes it possible to meet urgent needs swiftly, ensuring that no one in crisis has to wait for help. It also sustains long-term healing and recovery efforts, enabling us to walk with individuals and families beyond the moment of crisis and into a future of hope. Most importantly, it empowers us to expand our outreach—to serve even more of Israel’s hurting and vulnerable with dignity, compassion, and love.

To begin your monthly gift today, visit and check the “Make this donation monthly” box:

Each shekel, each prayer, each act of generosity—these are the seeds God uses to bring hope to His people.

As we press ahead, our prayer is that 2026 will be a year marked by peace, healing, and restoration—for Israel, and for each of us. Thank you for walking with us. Together, we can bring light to dark places, comfort to the brokenhearted, and strength to those on the front lines of faith and service.

From our hearts in Jerusalem to your home, may your new year be full of blessings, and may the Lord repay your kindness with a double portion of His goodness.


With love and gratitude,

Barry & Batya with the VFI team
