History
Israel, 1993. Barry Segal received a powerful vision. He saw that Israel would experience a time of great plenty-followed by a period of great struggle. He knew that something had to be done to prepare-to provide for the poor and needy, who would be hit hardest by the instability. Along with his wife Batya, he founded Vision for Israel with this lofty mission in mind. This young ministry began reaching out and offering financial aid to poor and needy families around Israel. A couple of short years later, the story took a tragic turn when the Segal family was touched by the pain that affected many Israelis. Barry and Batya's daughter lost three teenage friends in a bus that was attacked by a Hamas suicide bomber. In addition to this loss, another girl who served as a soldier in one of the platoons she instructed was killed in a separate attack on the same bus route. These were the buses that she had ridden each week. During Passover season, Barry and Batya responded by assisting the families torn apart by terrorism, leading to what would become one of VFI's most important tasks-assisting families who are victims of terror and rocket attacks. In the following years, Vision for Israel expanded to include other desperately needed humanitarian services for Holocaust survivors, at-risk kids, and many others in need of help in Israel.
