From the World Vision U.S. president: 75 years of belief

World Vision President and CEO Edgar Sandoval Sr. reflects on feeding a malnourished child named Mone in Ethiopia and how moments like this reveal both the challenges families face and the power of faith in action. Marking World Vision’s 75th anniversary, he looks back on decades of God’s faithfulness, from war-torn Korea to today’s global crises, and shares a bold vision as we look toward the future.

Remembering God’s faithfulness and trusting Him for the future

In this editor’s letter, we pause to remember how far God has brought us. Drawing from 1 Samuel 7, where Samuel sets up a stone of remembrance and calls it Ebenezer, this reflection marks World Vision’s 75th anniversary as a moment to look back with gratitude and forward with faith. The stories in this issue serve as our own “stone of help,” celebrating decades of God’s faithfulness through the stories of lives changed, including our own.
