Dear Friends in Christ,

My heart rejoices in the blessings Tom and I received during CFBI’s annual Collection/Distribution trip to Israel.  Our projects in Israel send their love, thanks, and prayers for all you have done this year to be a blessing to them and to the ones they reach out to with Christ’s love.  Your sharing of your heart, prayers, and financial gifts overwhelmed them in the goodness of our Heavenly Father.

One project letter sums it up by saying; We would like to thank you so much for allowing us to represent you in Israel.  It is such a blessing to know that you are not only willing to support the Jewish people in your prayers, but to give of your finances as well.  The kindness and generosity of all that gave and supported Christians for Biblical Israel is unmatched.  For this we are extremely grateful.  Thank you for allowing us to be your hands and your feet here in Israel.  May the Lord pour out His blessings upon you for all of your kindness and generosity.

In my last letter I reported that we were two thousand dollars short of our last year’s goal.  I am very thankful to report how the Lord provided since then, and that by your giving above measure in the goodness of God, that we exceeded that goal by $1,500.00.  Because of your prayers and faithful giving, together we were able to distribute $16,500 among our projects.  Praise the Lord!  I fully believe that every penny of this sum will be used to bring glory to God.

Please pray together with us for our Lord’s leadership in setting our annual collection/distribution goal for this coming year.  As in prior years we will plan on taking to our projects in Israel the total amount that is given by you to be a blessing to Israel and God’s chosen children of Abraham.

Our projects are doing a wonderful work in reaching the needs of the poor and needy with physical and material needs, and most important with the Word of God.  I fully believe in my heart that the more we do for them the more they will be able to accomplish for the glory of God.

We pray and hope that each of you will have a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.  Thank you so very much for your part in CFBI’s ministry; also thank you for your prayers, support, and donations.  We praise and thank the Lord for each of you in our prayers.

Yours for Israel and God’s Chosen People,
