Olim Fund of the Galilee
May 2004 Report

May 2004

Dear Loved Ones,

We are in awe of the faithfulness of our donating families as the Olim Fund of the Galilee was able to distribute emergency aid to 18 new immigrant families in the month of May 2004. As the financial base continues to grow we are anticipating the guidance and wisdom of God to lead us into the next level of this vision to support returning remnant of God's people.

This month we saw the continuation in the breakdown of new immigrant families. In most cases the husbands are leaving the families in utter defeat, not able to withstand the economic pressure from the current recession here in Israel.

We were blessed to help one particular case in which the woman was living in pain, suffering from arthritis because she didn't have the funds to buy specially made knee braces. On top of that she had been surviving for the last few months without a refrigerator. Your gifts provided not only the knee braces but also a good quality second-hand refrigerator to enable this woman to live in peace in her humble situation. In another case a single parent received assistance when their landlord demanded that they vacate their apartment. We helped to move them to a surer situation in the vicinity close to the congregation they attend.

We bless you and give thanks for you as you continue to participate in this great out pouring of love toward our people Israel.

In Messiah Yeshua's Love,

Bob Fischer
