 MESSIANIC JEWISH ISRAEL FUND
Dorothy (Dotti) Naomi Solomon is the Executive Director of the Messianic Jewish Israel Fund (MJIF), an autonomous, humanitarian aid agency of the Messianic Jewish Alliance of America (MJAA). She is co-founder and President of Jewish Believers and Friends, Inc; and has recently completed two terms as as the first woman president of the MJAA, the oldest and largest Messianic organization in the world, established in 1915 in the United States.
Dotti currently serves on the Executive board of the Messianic Jewish Alliance of America, and continues her twelve year commitment with the MJIF. She travels annually to Israel to bring prayer and financial aid to Jewish believers there. Dotti works alongside her husband, Messianic Rabbi, Robert Israel Solomon, at Congregation Beth Hallel in Roswell, GA, where they have ministered since 1977 in Jewish work.
The MJIF functions as a vehicle for Messianic believers in the Diaspora to join hands with Jewish believers in the Land of Israel, helping to provide spiritual and financial support.
The primary purpose of the MJIF is to be a source of aid into Israel to assist Messianic Jewish families, individuals, ministries and congregations. Funds given to the MJIF are used to meet such basic needs as Hebrew Bibles and other literature for spiritual growth; temporary living expenses, emergency aid and ministry necessities for sharing faith in Messiah. The MJIF also provides small gifts to aid Jewish believers who have made Aliyah (a permanent move) to Israel.
The MJIF is a ministry of love to God?s chosen people, therefore, all board members are volunteers and no salaries are paid to anyone working in this ministry.

However in March, 1977, after a fishing trip in Tennessee, Paul's life took a different turn. He had a personal encounter, receiving Yeshua as his Savior, and went immediately into full-time traveling ministry. As a founding member of the group Harvest, Paul recorded 2 albums with Benson Records and traveled for 4 years. He then ministered with Israel's Hope for 8 years, recording 2 albums with Maranantha Records.
Being led to a church outside Chicago, Paul ministered on staff for 5 years before founding Paul Wilbur Ministries in January, 1995. Since then, Paul has recorded 5 solo albums with Integrity Music, all of which are translated into Spanish, 3 of those recorded live in Jerusalem. Paul also has recorded 3 other collaborative albums with Integrity. His collection includes: Up To Zion, Shalom Jerusalem, Holy Fire, Jerusalem Arise, Lion of Judah and his latest, Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem. Paul and his team travel throughout the United States and the world sharing the love of God through Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah.
