Dear Friends in Christ,

It is with great joy that I report we distributed $115,000.00 to our project ministries. Thank you with all my heart for your prayers and your giving to Christians for Biblical Israel’s ministry this past year.   By your faithfulness to our Lord and Savior and your desire to be a blessing to Israel and God’s chosen people, many of the needs of our Israel projects have now been met along with others they will have this year.

Each visit with the leadership of our five projects during our distribution trip was an overwhelming blessing.  Each expressed their thankfulness to you for your love and care. I am confident that the money given will help the poor and needy, and open many doors for proclaiming the message of salvation in Israel’s Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ. Please keep them in your prayers throughout this New Year.

I greatly appreciate Pastor McKelroy’s and Mike Lindsay’s help in the planning, preparation, and accompaniment in CFBI’s distribution trip.  With my home church taking on this ministry as one of its ministries, please pray for God’s wisdom, guidance, and blessings in all we do, that it may bring Glory to Him.

I do need to mention a couple of other changes.  CFBI’s address and main phone number have changed.  We will keep our old addresses for another two months but please start sending mail to 912 East Loop 340, Waco, TX 76705 by March.  You may continue to call the old phone numbers but the new number is 254-799-0229.

With thankful hearts, we give glory to God for all His blessings the past fifteen years. Now, as CFBI begins its sixteenth year of working to be a blessing to Israel and God’s Chosen People, we ask that you continue to work with us.  Without the grace of God and your faithfulness, CFBI could not be the blessing that God wants us to be.  I personally give to each of you my gratitude for the joy you have brought to my heart in our working together to bring glory of God.

May our LORD use each of us in 2019 in sending the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the ears and hearts of lost souls, and in helping the poor and needy.  Galatians 2:10 and Psalms 82:4

Thank you for your love, prayers, support, Christmas cards and gifts, and giving to the work of CFBI’s ministry.  We praise and thank the Lord for each of you in our prayers.

Yours for Israel and God’s Chosen People,

Dear Friends in Christ,

 

With the war in the south with Gaza continuing and Iran still working to establish a base of operation in Syria in the north, we know that our LORD and Savior will one day end all Israel’s troubles and redeem His people.  Until then, Israel’s enemies will continue with their plan to destroy God’s Chosen People…but, praise God the victory is promised to them and to us that believe (“…in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.” (Rom 8:37)

 

God’s Word instructs us to watch and pray for the soon return of our Lord and Savior.  Our time to work will soon end along with being able to help the ministries that Christians for Biblical Israel support.  May we do our best to help them as they serve to win souls and work to be a blessing to the poor and needy.  Let us not be slack in praying for one another and remaining faithful in these “last days.”

 

Pastor McKelroy, Mike Lindsay, and I have everything in place for our distribution trip the end of November.  Please continue praying that we will be an extra special blessing to each of our five projects again this year.

 

Christians for Biblical Israel’s desire is to bring glory to God our Father by helping Israel’s needy and in seeing many people receive Jesus as their Savior.  We want you to know that every dollar given to our projects will go to them.  Their work is difficult, but they stay faithful and deserve all we do for them.  The evil one attacks our projects daily and they greatly need our prayers as they fight the good fight of faith and stand on the front lines on our behalf.  Thank you for praying for Project Ecclesia, Project Miriam, Project Solomon, Project House of Salvation, and for Project Helping Hand.

 

Praise God, we are at a record year with only four weeks left before we leave.  I thank and praise the Lord for you who have given, who are giving, and who will give.  Please pray with me that we together will be even more of a blessing to our Israel projects in the next few weeks (Eph. 3:20 & 21).

 

Thank you for your love, prayers, and giving to the work of CFBI’s ministry.  We praise and thank the Lord for each of you in our prayers.

 

Yours for Israel and God’s Chosen People,

Dear Friends in Christ,

Our Lord continues to bless with donations for our Israel projects and ministries.  This year our distribution trip will be toward the end of November and into December.  We pray for the Lord’s leadership in the organizing and planning of our trip, as well as God’s will with the flights, hotel, car reservations, and itinerary for our meetings with our projects.  It is our desire to please our Heavenly Father in all that we do during our trip and to be an extra special blessing to each of the ministries we help support, as well as the people of Israel.  Please pray with us for God’s leading in all we do.

I am thankful for all who are helping with CFBI, and for those involved with the collection/distribution this year.  Your prayers, support, and encouragement have been such a big blessing to me and the Lord has strengthened my heart both spiritually and physically by them.  I cannot thank you enough and ask for your continued prayers as we together work to complete this year’s distribution for God’s glory.

Our projects are doing a great work in Israel.  Each ministry is daily ministering to many people.  The Word of God is being taught and preached, souls are being saved, and the poor and needy are being helped as well as shown the love of Christ.  Your gifts are always greatly appreciated by them and your prayers mean so very much in their ministries as they present the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost.

Please pray for my pastor, Gerald McKelroy and for Mike Lindsay who will be going with me this year on Christians for Biblical Israel’s distribution trip.  I suppose I should say that I am going with.  They are and will be doing much of the work and are helping me in finishing and making this year’s distribution one of our most successful.  Pastor McKelroy had an accident awhile back and is almost fully recovered, but I ask for prayer for his full recovery and strength for the trip.

In closing, the Apostle Paul in I Corinthians 16 wrote to the Christians in the churches in Galatia and at Corinth about their preparation to give toward the “collection” so that it will be completed for the ones who will be taking it to Jerusalem for the “saints”.  May each of us do the same as the Lord has prospered us this year.

Thank you for your love, prayers, support, and giving to the work of CFBI’s ministry.  We praise and thank the Lord for each of you in our prayers.

Yours for Israel and God’s Chosen People,

Dear Friends in Christ,

Please keep Christians for Biblical Israel and our Israel projects in your prayers. We are praying and working to be an extra special blessing to our projects again this year.

I hope and pray that together we can bless and provide our projects with monies enough to help supply all their needs in ministering to the poor and needy. At this time, we have a little over $50,000.00 to distribute to them.

Please pray with me for this year’s distribution. CFBI’s largest distribution to our projects was $93,000 in 2014. As the Lord supplies your needs please remember their needs and ask Him to lead you in your giving. II Corinthians 9:7&8 says, Every man (one) according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

The little country of Israel is facing a great challenge within and without. Gaza could explode into a bigger war while many countries in the UN also want Israel destroyed. In addition, now Russia is on Israel’s doorstep being in Syria, and hostile words are coming out of Turkey. However, there is good news with our projects proclaiming the Gospel, and souls being saved. They need our help more than ever. Our time to serve and bless Israel and God’s chosen people will one day end. May we do our best until then.

Please allow me to give you a more personal and dear to my heart portion of God’s Word to read that I pray will be a blessing to you. The verse of scripture laid on my heart years ago is Romans 8:28. Later the following verse, 29, became inseparable when quoting verse 28. These verses teach that all things work together for good and that our God and Savior, whom we love, has called each of us to live for Him, to serve Him and others, so that we will grow in His grace and “to be conformed to the image of His Son.” Our trial of faith that God’s Word speaks of is precious to Him if it “be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ” (I Peter 1:7). Let us pray for one another to be more Christ like.

Thank you for your love, prayers, support, and giving to the work of CFBI’s ministry. We praise and thank the Lord for each of you in our prayers.

Yours for Israel and God’s Chosen People,

Dear Friends in Christ,

Thank you for your prayers for my health.  God’s blessings abound to us each day.  In the midst of our trials comes grace and great peace as we keep our faith and trust in Him.

My home church is now helping with the website and making it better, along with taking over many of my other responsibilities.  This is an answer to my prayer.  I have gotten to a point in my health where it has been difficult in carrying out many of my duties and responsibility.  I thank our Lord for His provisions at this time in CFBI’s ministry.  My plans, the Lord willing, are to continue serving and doing what I can to be a blessing to you and to our Israel projects.  In addition, my prayer is that each of you will continue with your prayers and support for Christians for Biblical Israel’s ministry.  Our projects, and our brothers and sisters serving in Israel are doing a great work and growing in the Lord.  Their needs are great and I am thankful for the Lord’s blessings so that we can continue to partner with them for the salvation of many souls and with providing for the poor and needy.

In the near future, you may be getting communication from CFBI that does not have my name on it.  Brother Mike Lindsay and his wife Jean Ann have been a vital part of Timmie’s and my missionary work over the many years.  Mike Lindsay will continue in CFBI’s ministry along with Pastor Gerald McKelroy, and Bill Feltenberger.  Bills wife, Carroll, will be helping also.  Adam Watson will be working with the website.  Please keep us in your prayers.

Christians for Biblical Israel’s mission statement says, “CFBI’s mission is to bring glory to our Father which is in heaven by working to point Israel to her Deliverer and by caring for the poor and the needy (Matthew 5:16, Romans 11:26).”  Jesus came to give His life a ransom for lost souls.  In His travels to preach the Kingdom of God, He took the road that led Him to the lost, to the poor and to the needy.  He gave His all on the cruel cross for you and me.  As our projects follow Jesus, they often face great opposition but continue to serve diligently to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Please keep them and CFBI in your prayers.

Thank you for your love, prayers, support, and giving to the work of CFBI’s ministry.  We praise and thank the Lord for each of you in our prayers.

Yours for Israel and God’s Chosen People,

Dear Friends in Christ,

Thank you for your prayers for our annual board meeting.  I thank our Lord for His blessings and leading in the meeting.  We have made decisions that we trust will see Christians for Biblical Israel grow and do more to bring glory to our Father in Heaven.  I believe these will also make CFBI more effective in equipping our brothers and sisters ministering in Israel as they reach out to the lost and to the poor and needy.

Another prayer request that I have is for my health.  I thank God for the seventy-one years He has given me and for the over thirty years of service since my missions call to Israel.  God saved me at the age of nine at what is still my home church.  He has given me so many wonderful friends and supporters of this ministry.  He has done so much for me and He has taught me, and is still teaching me, to love and trust Him more each day.

Thank you all for being a great encouragement to me especially since my beloved wife went home to be with our Lord over three years ago.  Praise God for His comforting hand and His promise to never leave us, or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5).  Please continue in your prayers for God’s blessings upon CFBI so we can encourage our projects in Israel as we minister together with them in helping people in need.

There is a great need and expediency to get the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ out to lost souls, and to be a blessing to Israel.  My prayer and my desire is to encourage you as the Lord leads us together in helping with the ministry needs in Israel.

A report from Project Ecclesia;

“We too have a list of families in the church who are struggling economically. One of the ways to help is to pay the heating bills during our short winter and to give out food cards. Each needy family has their specific needs. We try to fit the help to the specific need, to make sure the need is met. Helping a parent with good dental work is a huge help. Helping with rent in a hard month, is a great help. We pray that people will be able to see our faith at work as well – in loving them.”

Thank you for your love, prayers, support, and giving to the work of CFBI’s ministry.  We praise and thank the Lord for each of you in our prayers.

Yours for Israel and God’s Chosen People,

Dear Friends in Christ,

Please begin to pray for Christian for Biblical Israel’s annual board meeting February 24 and our distribution to our projects in the fall.  It is my prayer that God’s will be done in every decision we make and in all that we do concerning being a blessing to you and to our projects in Israel.  In all these things, we desire to see souls saved, the poor and needy helped, and our projects blessed to the glory of God and our Savior.

I am reminded often of two of the many scriptures that tell us of our duty to be a blessing to the seed of Abraham and to bless the Jew first with the Gospel.  Genesis 12:3 “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”  Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”  The greatest way that we can bless those in Israel, and the whole world, is by doing our part to see that the Gospel of our Savior reaches lost souls so that they may have eternal life.

I do want to thank all of you that give to CFBI and that have supported me in my work.  I also want to mention CFBI’s website and thank those of you who give through it.  We took photos this year instead of interviews with our five projects that you can see on the website.  Go to CFBI.org or Christiansforbiblicalisrael.org and click on the “Our Projects” tab to view them.

With thankful hearts, we give glory to God for all His blessings the past fourteen years.  Now, as CFBI begins it fifteenth year of working to be a blessing to Israel and God’s Chosen People, we ask that you continue to work with us.  Without you and the grace of God, CFBI could not be the blessing that God wants us to be.  I thank you very much for your prayers and for your giving.  I also would like to express my gratitude for the joy you have brought in my heart for your part in all CFBI has done for the glory of God.

May God continue to use each of us in 2018 to help people with both their spiritual and physical needs.  And, please remember God’s promise that He will bless those that bless Abraham’s children through Isaac and Jacob, and to “pray for the peace of Jerusalem” (Psalm 122).

Thank you very much for your prayers, donations, Christmas cards, and gifts.  We praise and thank the Lord for each of you in our prayers.

Yours for Israel and God’s Chosen People,

Dear Friends in Christ,

We have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving and Christmas season.  Our sin is forgiven and we are Heaven bound.  Galatians 3:26, For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

My brother Tom and I were greatly blessed throughout our distribution trip in Israel.  We met with all five of our projects and spent quality time with each.  Thank you for making this possible by your prayers, donations, and support.  Your faithfulness has and continues to bless many of the poor and needy in Israel.  It also has supplied the ministry needs of our brothers and sisters serving our Lord.  Above all, it has been very helpful in seeing that the Gospel continues to be brought to the ears and hearts of the lost.

There is a great need in getting the light of the Gospel to both the Israelis and Palestinians.  With so much religion is the country and with it being called “The Holy Land” one is surprised to learn of the people, as a whole, in great spiritual darkness.  Please, “Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.” (Matt. 9:38 & Luke 10:2)  One statistic given to me while visiting with a project is that less than 50,000 souls out of a population of eight and a half million people are true believers in Jesus Christ, the Word of God (John 1).

Thank you for giving Tom and me the blessing to distribute $65,200.00 to our projects.  Although I would have like to have seen more, I have said before that the Lord can multiply this as he did the loaves and fishes.  You have done so much for Christians for Biblical Israel this year and the past fourteen years.  You have given both prayerfully and sacrificially.  Thank you so very much.  To God be the Glory!

It was truly an amazing trip to see how the Lord is blessing our projects and to see and hear first-hand of the work and victories taking place in their ministries.  Together, we all can thank and praise God for allowing us to have a part in these ministries among “Abraham’s seed” and “God’s Chosen People”.  Thank you!

And, thank you for your love, prayers, support, and gifts for the work of CFBI’s ministry.  We praise and thank the Lord for each of you in our prayers.

Yours for Israel and God’s Chosen People,

Dear Friends in Christ,

Tom and I have our reservations and plans set for our collection/distribution trip to Israel the last week in October.  We are looking forward to meeting with our projects, and we request your prayers so that together we will be an extra special blessing as we meet with them and distribute the donations.

A good portion of our donations come in the last two or three months before our trip, and with all the needs around our country please pray about what you can do to increase our gifts of love for our Israel projects. Romans 2:10, But glory, honour, and peace, to every one that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile.

From Project Beit Hayeshua:  Men enslaved to drugs and alcohol continue to get delivered and find new life! The house we opened last October is now full and we feel a need to open a new house for the next ones completing the program. Please pray for God’s guidance in this matter as well as our weekly outreaches to the drug addicts, alcoholics, and prostitutes, and finances to keep up the work.

Project Mariam wrote:   As of today, we have saved over 2,000 lives.   That’s 2,000+ beds, bathtubs and strollers, and over 72,000 bags of diapers and boxes of baby formula.  It has been astounding to watch God provide faithfully.  Surly, He cares for the unborn…

Our Project Ecclesia writes how it continues to help the needy children and their families by providing for them according to their economical ability.  God’s word is faithfully preacher and taught resulting in children giving their lives to the Lord and others making commitments to keep walking with God and letting go of sins in their lives.  As reported many times before, there is much satisfaction in helping those in need.

Project Helping Hand: We are thankful that due to your support we were able to help many Holocaust survivors.  In recent times, we have seen the health of many of the elderly people deteriorate both physically and spiritually; old age and their living conditions have left their mark.  On behalf of the elderly people, we want to thank you very much!

Project Solomon:  After distributing 25,000 tracts in Rishon and Ashdod, we ordered 10,000 more and are currently distributing them. We continue to get regular phone calls as a result of this, including some people who seem more interested than angry. As a direct result of this distribution, Itzik has become a regular in our services.

It has been a great blessing to me to see God faithfully work through you to be a blessing to Israel and God’s Chosen People.  Thank you very much for your prayers and support, now and over the past years.  We praise and thank the Lord for each of you in our prayers.

Yours for Israel and God’s Chosen People,

Dear Friends in Christ,

I thank you for your support and the blessing you are to Christians for Biblical Israel, and I praise God for your ministering to our projects in Israel through your gifts of love for their ministries.  Looking back to CFBI’s beginning in 2003 and over 2 1/2 years since Timmie went to be with our Lord, time has quickly faded.  We must live for the Lord today while praying and reaching out to people in fulfilling our calling in Christ Jesus.  Ephesians 5:16 says, “Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”  May we together live to make our time, in this evil time we are living, acceptable to our Savior.

Four months remain before our Collection/Distribution trip to visit our Israel projects.  I believe many of you have prayed about and are laying in store what you will give to be a blessing to them, to Israel, and to God’s Chosen People.  It is my prayer that you will keep this on your heart and give as the Lord leads so we all can be an extra special blessing to our fellow saints in Israel.

Each of our projects in Israel uses the money you give them to show the Love of Christ in their helping the poor and needy.  Many of “God’s Chosen People”, that are not poor, see that Christians care about their Jewish nation.  This in itself represents a Godly testimony to unbelievers and leads some to a saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

There is, also the evangelistic effort by our projects.  Their heart and work is to see souls saved by the Word directly.  This can be a difficult and dangerous task for them.  With much opposition from Satan, they stand firm in their faith and work.  My heart is burdened knowing their needs.  It brings me great joy in seeing those needs met.  Thank you for your prayers and giving to the work of CFBI’s ministry.

Our five projects keep me and CFBI updated in their ministries.  Please pray with us in seeing that God’s will be done in the work and life of each project in Israel and His will brought out in each of our lives.  Psalms 9:18, “For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.”

In brief, Project Ecclesia helps many needy families, and its summer camps, “all is paid by the church.”  Project Miriam continues to add new birth mothers to the many they are currently helping.  Project Solomon goes out weekly to help the poor and needy with food and other items.  Project House of Salvation is growing in its addiction ministry, and Project Helping Hand labors among holocaust survivors and needy children.

Thank you for your love, prayers, and giving to the work of CFBI’s ministry.  We praise and thank the Lord for each of you in our prayers.

Yours for Israel and God’s Chosen People,

Talmadge Campbell & Christians for Biblical Israel
