On this first day of the New Year, our hearts are full of gratitude. From all of us at Illinois Family Institute, thank you. We are deeply thankful to God for His abundant mercy and grace—and for His call to be transformed by the renewing of our minds so that we may walk in His truth and perfect will (Romans 12:2).

Moreover, we are:

Blessed by your unwavering, unqualified support for the work we are doing in deep blue Illinois.

Blessed that you stand with us in fervent prayer. We know God’s hand is guiding and protecting us!

Blessed to be your advocates for the sanctity of human life, religious liberty, parental rights, natural marriage and family.

Blessed to know that you have entrusted this ministry with your hard-earned resources.

As we step into a new year filled with both opportunity and challenge, one thing remains certain: we serve a faithful God. He has blessed us richly, and He will never leave us nor forsake us. Our calling is simply to be faithful to Him and to do His will on earth as it is done in heaven.

God has placed us here—at this moment in history and in this mission—for a purpose. And by His grace, we are not going anywhere. We will continue to be your voice in the public square, standing for truth, life, family, and freedom. Like you, we are here for such a time as this, and we pray that God will continue to use IFI to bring honor and glory to His name as we uphold what is true, good, and pure—blessing and strengthening families across Illinois and our nation.

Thank you for standing with us through your prayers, encouragement, and faithful financial support. May the Lord bless you and your family richly in 2026.
