Dear Friends in Christ,
With 30 days before we leave for our Collection/Distribution trip to Israel I am thankful to report to you that we have $25,398.67 of our $30,000 goal. Christians for Biblical Israel is in its eighth year since our first official meeting on September 24, 2003. Since then we have given 100% designated and 100% of our undesignated receipts to our projects. Only the special designated gifts given for our administration and expense accounts were not given to projects. It has been our hearts desire to bring honor and glory to our Lord in all that we do. Every penny donated for our Israel projects will go to them.
I want to thank each of you for your prayers and gifts given this year. You have been the success of CFBI. First without the Lord and second with out you we could do nothing as a ministry to be a blessing to Israel and God’s Chosen People. Thank you with all my heart!
Our Project Miriam along with a Happy Rosh Hashana blessing and photo writes, “Alina is just one of more than 100 babies saved through the counseling services in 2011. We celebrate every one of those new beginnings.”
Our Project Ecclesia writes, “Yesterday we had a stock of food arrive to the church. We purchase stocks like that periodically to give to poor and needy families in the church and to others, nonbelievers whom we know. It is a joy to be able to give. The basket includes: Oil, pasta, rice, cornflakes, jam, tuna, tee, oatmeal, toilet paper and different kind of food cans and of course a message of the gospel as a book, booklet, or DVD.”
Our four projects do much more than what I can write in this newsletter, but I am thankful to share a portion with you. At present we are working on a trip in 2012 to meet with our projects and tour Israel lasting eleven days. The tour will leave on October 17 and return on October 27, 2012.
Please pray about what the Lord would have you to do in completing our collection goal this year. Thank you for your love, prayers, support, and donations. We praise and thank the Lord for each of you in our prayers. “He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.” Proverbs 19:17. “For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.” “It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.” Romans 15:26 &27.
Yours for Israel and God’s Chosen,
Talmadge Campbell, Timmie & CFBI
