As Vision for Israel celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2024, we are profoundly reminded of God’s unwavering faithfulness. Our mission began three decades ago, inspired by the mandate of Isaiah 61:3a: “To console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.” Today, our commitment to this cause is stronger than ever, fueled by your continued partnership.
"And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up."
Galatians 6:9
This year, let's aim to reach new heights in our mission. Your continued support can provide more aid, more comfort, and more hope to those who need it most in Israel.
Donate here to help us make 2024 a year of unparalleled impact.
