Shalom from Tiberias
I again had the honor of chairing this month's Board of Advisors
meeting at which we distributed $12,244.00 to 17 different families,
all of whom were in pressing, survival level situations. What
a thrill it is to see the Olim Fund of Israel growing each month
along with a parallel and ever increasing number of needs among
our Olim families.
I am delighted to report that our Christian Origins DVD teaching
is being sold in increasing numbers which is helping the Olim
Fund to grow, as all profits are being funneled to us as yet another
means to bless the returning remnant. Please check out our web
site at www.olimpublications.com for more information.
This month, we saw several families on the edge of financial
chaos saved from eviction notices as your gifts ministered life
from depressing circumstances. In another case a young girl with
acute scoliosis was provided with a corset to enable her to walk
even in her limited capacity. The Lord also gave us the opportunity
to help an emotionally and physically believed abused woman in
her struggle to get free from her ordeal.
All in all it is difficult to express in words our thanks and
gratitude for your giving hearts towards these disadvantaged Jewish
immigrant families. We truly bless you and encourage you to tell
others what wonderful things are resulting from your generous
giving.
We are confident in the Lord's promise toward you; to bless you
who bless Israel.
In the love of Yeshua,
Bob Fischer
