September, 2005
Shalom Dear Friends of the Olim Fund,
This has certainly been a great month for the Fund. thanks to
your generosity we were able to distribute more than $10,000 to
nineteen families scattered throughout the Land from Arad in the
South to Karmiel in the North. I'm sure you will see this growing
range of our involvement as you review the details of the attached
report.
This has been a particularly challangening month for me, personally.
My darling wife, Donna has a very successful knee replacement
surgery but suffered a post operative pulmonary embolism that
put her back in the hospital for another week and cause those
who love her much concern and prayer time. Praise God she is home
and recovering but will have to undergo therapy for at least two
years to protect her from possible further emboli.
On a more happy note, my fifth book, The Door Where it Began,
a novel of Yeshua, Israel and the Early Church, will be at the
printers next week and ready for distribution next month. I'm
really excited about this work and am certain it is by far my
best to this point.
Since net profit from my book sales are contributed to the Olim
Fund, I am praying that this book will be widely enjoyed.
Again, many, many thanks for your support of the Olim Fund. I
know that you will be blessed for your outreach to this land and
its people.
In the love of Yeshua,
Bob Fischer
