Dear donors and friends of the Olim
Fund,
Shalom from Tiberias!
Your Fund has had a very exciting and promising month as our donation
base has continued to increase right in step with our outreach to
a growing number of olim families throughout the country.
We were especially blessed with the news of a single donation of
$10,000 from a lovely couple in Sun City, Arizona that will be available
to us for potential distribution next month. We also have been blessed
with the pledge of a generous monthly gift from a very dear and
prospering Messianic Jewish Ministry in the United States. Praise
the Lord!
We were deeply touched this month by the sufferings of an unmarried
seamstress who lost one of her eyes and soon afterwards, her job
because of her now unattractive appearance. Thanks to your generosity
and loving outreach, we were able to meet most of the need for her
surgery that will give her an artificial eye and with it, a new
lease on life. Each one of you can take a bit of rightful ownership
of this wonderful blessing.
Finally, we really must be doing something right the way Satan has
been attacking my new historical novel, The Door Where it Began.
Almost unbelievable administrative goofs after they arrived in New
York in January, and other amazing interferences have led us to
all manner of additional expenses and delays which finally have
been overcome. The first printing, now more than a month overdue,
will be delivered to our distributor in El Dorado Hills, CA. in
the next few days. You can read the first three chapters on our
web site www.olimpublications.com
But, let me warn you, if you do, I am certain that most of you you
will want to read the entire book that will retail for $16.00. As
my way of saying thanks to all of you who receive this report, I
would like to offer this book to you for an introductory price of
$10.00 plus S&H (offer good until April 30, 2006). All profit
from my books and teachings are donated to the Olim Fund. To order,
please contact:

I am so pleased with the wonderful reaction of the initial readers
of this new book to whom I sent copies from Israel. Following
is an example:
From a reader in Montreal, Canada:
"How beautiful, dearest brother Bob! I became enraptured
with every page of your new book. I finished reading it today.
Praise the Lord for this brilliant & wonderful work!!!! I'm
not a fiction reader at all but I enjoyed it so much due to your
earlier book: "The Children of God". What a perfect
complement your new book is to your previous ones.
I believe if we were to meet you one day, I would have to check
the back of your head for evidence that you suffered a severe
injury!
I am so happy to meet you! I knew from the very early pages that
there was a lot about you and your loved ones in there.
Interesting format you chose to present what just may be pure
truth! I was so blessed through it all.
I heard, just this past year, that the Apostle Paul should have
been the one to be elected the 12th disciple and that choosing
Matthias was a mistake because we never heard of him after that
day of appointment. That entire story in your book made me rejoice
and weep, all at the same time, from beginning to end. How could
the leaders of the early church miss the boat on the Holy Spirit's
lead when choosing Yeshua's first new covenant leaders especially
when the anointing was so strong? When I read in Proverbs that
the simple will believe anything, I have to be careful. I would
be so inclined to believe that what you propose is highly probable.
How beautiful, how simply lovely is what you've written!!!! I'm
so grateful you sent me a copy!!!
I loved to hear how the power of the Holy Spirit is present in
those sites you so beautifully describe. I loved to hear about
the choir of angels singing. I truly swooned (a new word I learned).
I loved every word (except maybe 3...when in stupor, characters
often saying "My God!" which I thought was taking the
Lord's name in vain, perhaps I am mistaken...and the second word:
"adore" which is also used repeatedly when referring
to dearly loved ones. The French word we use for worship is"
to adore" which I guess in English doesn't have the same
reverence. )
There is so much we have yet to learn about our Jewish Roots.
It's all so much to come to terms with because first we need discernment
to see and know how we've been mislead. What would the Lord have
us do as we're learning all of this? Where are the Lord's Shepherds
after His own heart? I pray that your words be heard by the Body
of Yeshua all over the world and that the Spirit of Holiness may
bring forth its fruit in our lives. "Praise the Lord!
It has been an honor and privilege to read your book! Thank you.
May you be richly blessed, you and yours!"
Shalom,
C.
Again, thanks to you all for your continued loving outreach to
our struggling Olim here in the Land of our inheritance.
With rich blessings and love in Yeshua,
Bob Fischer

This 43 year old single woman lost one
of her eyes in a tragic accident. As a result of her unattratively
altered appearance, she lost her good job as a seamstress
and has been unable to find a new employment for the same
reason. She desperately needs a surgery that will install
an artificial eye so she can get her life going again. She
has no medical insurance and this procedure will cost $2,286.
The Fund dug very deep into our limited assets and provided

This young widow lost her husband over
a year ago and she began to receive a widow’s pension. Unfortunately,
the paying agency miscalculated the amount of her pension
and she received an overpayment of $2,748 which she must
repay out of her now reduced monthly stipend. The result
is, she simply can’t survive on the drastically reduced
monthly payment she will receive for the next year. This
one time gift is to help her get started in meeting this
urgent situation.
