Bless Israel's Children &
You'll Be Blessed in this New Year!
|
|
An olive tree takes 7 years to reach maturity. I bet you didn't know that, did you?
Did you also know that in the second or third year it begins to bear initial fruit?
As you can guess, the trees need love and care before they can even reach the age of fruit bearing and health.
This required love and care gives jobs to Israeli caretakers. Someone has to plant each olive tree. Water it. Prune it. And then harvest each tree...which gives even more jobs and opportunities to the Israeli workers!
 |
But that's not all...it's not just jobs alone! A portion of the proceeds of EVERY ANNUAL olive harvest from EVERY tree is given to several humanitarian aid projects in Israel that help meet the needs of children and families. So your one-time gift has a positive impact year after year!
Friend, you are like a tree that needs nurturing and yet you provide for others.
"...Remember that you do not support the root but the root supports you" - Romans 11:18
"I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." - Genesis 12:3
God has sustained Israel and His children for centuries. You can help bless "the Apple of God's eye" and join thousands who have been a blessing to Israel and released a blessing in their own life! What an incredible way to start out the new year!
Sow a seed for 2013!

A message about My Olive Tree from Curt Landry:
My Olive Tree is a company that encourages the sponsorship of trees in Israel to help boost Israel's agricultural economy and provide jobs through continued harvests, etc. MOT works with agricultural businesses and farmers in Israel. The contract with the farmers states that My Olive Tree receives 10% of the profit of the oil that is harvested annually from the trees. MOT has agreed to donate this annual percentage into humanitarian aid work in Israel—the other 90% remains with the farmers. This is in an effort to bless Israel's industry and families.
Sponsorship: there are options to plant trees for less in Israel. Many times these trees are small "saplings" that are planted solely for the purpose of reforestation. They are generally planted without irrigation and do not receive further care. MOT plants for reforestation and for the purpose of receiving future harvests. The trees are at least 3 feet tall, irrigated and receive the care they need to become mature trees that produce annual harvests. They are purchased from nursery stocks that are "designed" to produce healthy harvests in specific types of soil. The sponsorship of the tree is not tax-deductible.
Shalom,
Curt Landry
P.S. The part in the video with the children always touches my heart. |

"There can be no doubt as to the blessing that comes from participating in seeing God's chosen land blessed by the planting of olive trees. I believe that as we sow this seed that we will see the fulfillment of Psalm 1 in our own lives and be like a tree planted by the rivers of water ourselves."

What you need to know about the special project:
|
There are 3,141 counties in the United States, and our trees will be planted together in a grove that will be marked and identified as a gift from our nation to Israel. |
• |
There is a virtual visitors' center that allows sponsors to see satellite images of their grove. This information is accessed through the number on a certificate of authenticity that is issued for each tree sponsored. |
• |
The land that My Olive Tree uses for the tree sponsorships is under long term lease agreement. |
• |
My Olive Tree will take responsibility to replace a dead tree. |
• |
Each year, ten percent of the sales of the olive products from our trees will be given back into the nation of Israel, via various humanitarian aid projects that are overseen by Curt Landry's ministry. The remaining percentage of the sales will go back into Israel's agriculture. |
• |
My Olive Tree will provide a high quality wood carved sign that will identify our project. |
• |
Trees have a positive effect on the economy, the environment, and the hearts of the people. They create jobs, they produce oxygen, they produce food, they increase rainfall...they make the desert blossom and rejoice. There is a saying in Judaism that says: "You plant a vineyard for your son and an olive tree for your grandson."
