A Look Back at 2025
Your Impact Blesses Families
Every ticket helps VFM continue its mission to bring hope and help to families around the world.
Bring Visionary Parenting to a New Generation of Parents
Parents today face pressures no generation has faced before, and many are abdicating their role in their children's spiritual formation. VFM is raising up next-generation voices — including our own adult children — to reach families through conferences, podcasts, and video Bible studies.
Answer the Call from Poland, Bolivia, and Kenya
Church leaders around the world are asking for help reaching hurting, fragmented families. Through translation and hands-on training, we're equipping local leaders to build strong marriages and families — because national revival begins at home.
Provide Scholarships for Transformational Family Camp Experiences
Family camp changes lives — but for many families, the cost is out of reach. Your gift provides scholarships so families in need can experience this life-changing week, and supports the volunteer staff who make it possible.
Accelerate Our Ministry to Parents of Adult Children
Many parents carry deep grief over adult children who've wandered from God. We will be equipping 50 churches with our new "Never Too Late" small group Bible study, giving empty-nest parents a biblical game plan to rebuild relationship and point their family back to Jesus.

Thanksgiving Ball FAQs
What is the mission of VFM?
Our mission is to help families around the world follow Jesus.
Your partnership will provide needed resources for key aspects of our upcoming 2027 ministry plan.
We will invite you to consider making a pledge to support our ministry as well as participate in a silent auction. Of course, you can support our ministry at any time with a tax-deductible gift through our secure website: VisionaryFam.com/Support
You can also mail a check to Visionary Family Ministries, 205 N Washington Street, Wheaton, IL 60187. VFM is a recognized 501c3 charitable organization. We will provide you with statements for all donations. Thank you!
What will we do and eat at the VFM Ball?
During the night there will be family photos, fun games for kids, a silent auction, and family worship. You will also have the opportunity to learn a few new dances and enjoy dancing led by our favorite DJ, Scotty Murray.
You can choose food from different stations, including a pasta bar and taco bar. Non-alcoholic beverages will be served. Gluten-free options will be available.
Is the Ball for kids? How should our family dress?
This is a special evening designed for your entire family, so bring all the generations – toddlers, teens, parents, cousins, grandparents! We encourage you to “dress up” for the occasion. For some families this may mean formal attire, for others it could be Sunday best. This is a great opportunity to take your family picture with our photographer.
Are tickets a donation to VFM?
Each individual ticket covers just some of the costs for your family to attend, so it is not a donation and therefore is not tax-deductible.
We are grateful for our community sponsors whose generosity helps cover additional costs for this special evening.
I still have questions or want to donate an auction item or gift to VFM. Who do I contact?
Please reach out to Kristen Owens at [email protected] for more information.
