Dear Friends and Prayer Partners,
While strolling through a park, an elderly Orthodox Jewish man sitting on a park bench motioned for me to come and join him. He'd made Aliyah years ago from Romania and for some reason he began telling me how he recently visited a church in the Galilee! He recalled how a man appeared in the empty church and he knew that it was " 'Yesus Christos' but how could it be him when he's dead?" It took a micro-second for me to reply, "No, He's not dead. He is alive!"
Another time while hitch-hiking, a haredi man picked me up. Now these ultra-Orthodox Jews generally don't even look at women but more and more the L-rd brings them into my path. As we spoke about our lives, I shared about how we host tour groups from the nations in our home with the hope of raising up more friends of Israel among Christians. When he asked me if I was a Christian, I answered that I'm a Jewish believer in Messiah Yeshua. He was shocked but said nothing for awhile. Then suddenly he commented on how he doesn't like the same style of music over and over. I agreed and we had a nice conversation about music, but he kept looking at me like I was from another planet. In a way, I guess that's true :) Thank you, L-rd for how You are revealing Yourself to Your lost sheep and that You can actually use us in building Your Kingdom on earth!
