    Dear Mark,
    I am sorry to hear that your father has passed away. Today I began reading his autobiography in Hebrew, translated by Amikam Tavor, and find it quite fascinating. This was sent to us by Hartmut Renz of EDI . I believe your father’s story would be a great encouragement to other Jewish believers here in Israel – and a testimony to our opposers that God continues to draw his people to Himself!
    Our email is office@ha-gefen.org.il. Website http://www.ha-gefen.org.il .
    Blessings,
    Rivka Nessim

    Dear Baum family,

    Just yesterday I learned that Brother Wilhelm had gone to his home with the Lord. I thank God for the faithful testimony of this godly man. My daughter and I had the great honor to meet him and visit with him at his home about 3 years ago. He even did some of his spiritual lessons for us and quoted the story of the prodigal son in the key of F! We have really enjoyed his autobiography and have shared it with many people.

    May God comfort you and bless you as you carry on Mr. Baum’s legacy for the Lord.

    In Messiah,
    Teresa Sherry

    Dear family and friends,
    Accdidentialy, I came accross the notice concerning Bill Baum’s departure last year. Nobody even informed me about it until now. Although we have never met in person, I was privileged to know him through his manuscript, as I was assigned to translate his book into Hebrew. I didn’t even know that the book was published in Hebrew already, and wish to have several copies of it for personal use ans distribution. Please, accept my sincere condolences in retrospect, I’m sure we’ll meet someday in the presence of our LORD.
    Love – Ammikam Tavor,

    My best regards to the survivor of Wilhelm Bill Baum,

    William and I (Roger Welker, Reutlingen, DE) have frequently corresponded with each other. At the end of the letter Wrote he always “Your old brother in Him, and then his signature. Unfortunately I only found out today the passing of William.
    William is now in the Lord. And to the survivors, I can only hope to have already made the right decision and do or become one.
    Luke 15.10 “By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continune by reason of death: But this man, because becontinueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he everliveth to make intercession for them. For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;(Hebr. 7,22-26)

Please share your thoughts ...
