“The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”
Psalm 18:2
Dear Partners and Friends,
We are filled with gratitude and joy as we celebrate two significant milestones this year: Barry's 70th birthday and Vision for Israel's 30th anniversary! These are not just numbers; they represent decades of unwavering commitment to serving the people of Israel and standing firm in faith and love.
As we reflect on these incredible years, one project stands out as particularly close to Barry's heart: the donation of safety shelters. Over the past three years, Vision for Israel has donated close to 300 safety shelters. Barry has personally been present at most installations, driven by his passion to protect and provide for our brothers and sisters in need.
However, the need remains urgent and immense. With the current tensions in the north with Hezbollah and the ongoing war in Gaza, the threat to our communities is ever-present. Families live in constant fear, not knowing when the next attack might come. The reality is harsh, but our faith in God’s provision and protection is unshakable.
Barry is determined to increase our efforts, with a goal to donate at least 500 more safety shelters. The cost of each shelter is now $14,000, reflecting rising prices, but the safety and peace they provide are priceless. These shelters serve as literal havens of refuge during attacks, offering families a sense of security amid chaos.
Your support is more critical than ever. By contributing to this vital project, you become a beacon of hope and protection for countless families. Imagine the impact of your generosity: a mother holding her child tightly in a safe place, a father breathing a sigh of relief knowing his family is secure, and children playing with an increased sense of safety, amid the constant shadow of fear.
We invite you to stand with us in this mission. Your donation, no matter the size, makes a tangible difference. Together, we can provide these essential shelters and show the love of Messiah through our actions.
Will you help us reach our goal of 500 additional shelters? Your partnership can transform lives and demonstrate God's unwavering love and protection.

As we celebrate Barry’s 70th birthday and Vision for Israel’s 30 years of service, let us remember the words of Psalm 18:2. God is our fortress and deliverer, and through Him, we can offer safety and hope to those in need.
Thank you for your continued support and prayers. Together, we can make a profound difference.
Shalom and blessings,
Barry & Batya Segal
