November, 2005
Shalom to you treasured friends and supporters,
Attached is our monthly report briefly describing how, last evening,
we prayerfully allocated your generous offerings to the most urgent
of the situations that have come to our attention.
I am certain you will be touched by these difficult hurdles of
life that our recipients this month are struggling to endure as
they take up their places in the land of their inheritance. I
am especially grateful that we were able to address the needs
of the widow here in Tiberias who out of neglect of her teeth
has lost them all, along with her gums and, worse still has suffered
serious damage to her heart, thus making her an invalid. Thanks
to your loving outreach, she will soon be able to once again eat
normally.
I can find no words sufficient to tell you how very much you are
loved and appreciated.
With many blessings and deep thanks,
Bob Fischer
