Shalom Dear Ones,
This has been another remarkable month for the Fund, and for our
ministry in general.
We just returned from an exciting teaching tour in the States
where the highlight was an opportunity for me to present a new
full quarter course on "Christian Origins (Jewish Roots)"
at Faith Seminary in Tacoma, WA. I am now "officially"
honored with the new titles of "Doctor" and "Adjunct
Professor" and am thrilled to see how eager these mostly
new pastors are to receive the truth about the Jewish heritage
of Christianity.
The good news for our Fund is that this course will soon be available
on CD/DVD with plans in work to widely distribute it via Christian
radio and TV. As with my books, all profit from this venture will
flow into the Fund.
Hence, we ask for your prayers that all of this will proceed and
bear much fruit for our people Israel who are struggling to survive
here in the Land.
Our Board of Advisors met last evening. Attached is an overview
of our current distribution of your most generous and deeply appreciated
gifts.
Our profound thanks and many blessings for your continued faithfulness.
In the love of Yeshua,
Bob Fischer
