As of Monday, June 13th, our total cash and commitments to giving total $21,050 towards the $25,000 Matching Gift. We have until June 20th to reach the match. We need your help to push through, not only this matching gift goal, but also through this time of financial crisis for the House of Hope. What can you do to help us exceed even this $25,000 goal? The need is great, but our Mighty God is greater!!! We’re not in the business of setting limits for Him!

Please continue to pray about how you can be involved and spread the word about this need.

We will be continuing to update you as we know more. One way to share with your friends and family about the ministry is to follow us on Facebook and Twitter. We will be posting updates there periodically about the progression of this need and the happenings in Santiago.
We praise the Lord for your continued faithfulness and your prayers on our behalf!
We now have $6250 in cash and commitments towards the $25,000 Matching Grant. We thank those of you that have sacrificed greatly to help meet the needs of the girls at the House of Hope. The deadline for this matching grant is a mere few days away – Friday, June 10th. Every dollar given is worth two for this ministry. Every dollar given, we praise the Lord for.
As you know, we are at a critical stage for The House of Hope. Every course of action is being considered – from releasing staff to closing the doors completely. Please be in prayer for VFC’s Director, Tom Orme, as he travels to Santiago tomorrow to meet with Daniel, the staff, and the Vision Por Chile board. All options will be thoroughly explored; it will be a time of pivotal decision-making, but we all pray desperately for God’s will – in this ministry, in the girls’ lives, in our lives. Please join us.

Here’s a message from Tom with an update about the matching gift. Remember, your $1 will equal $2 for Vision for Chile (up to $10,000)! This is an amazing blessing, and we don’t want to miss out on the full opportunity – so pray about what you can do! For more information, please see Extremely Urgent Need.
