Paris: Gospel Partners Reach Jewish and Muslim People for Jesus!

Pastor Idir is a great partner in Messiah who comes from a Muslim background. He’s invited us to speak many times at his church, and we offer him our facilities free of charge for a monthly evangelism training he teaches.

Idir sets up a gospel literature table around lunchtime in neighbourhoods throughout Paris five days per week. Recently a Jewish man, Adrien*, stopped at the table, took a tract, and was struck by it. When Idir shared the gospel with him, Adrien told him, “I’m Jewish, so this is not for me.”

Idir replied, “I have Jewish friends who do believe in Jesus. Would you like to meet them?”

Adrien agreed, and this is how I met him for the first time. When they sat down together and read Isaiah chapter 53, Adrien was so emotional, he had to stop reading. After some discussion, Adrien understood that Jesus had died for his sin, and he prayed to receive the Lord!

We Jews for Jesus also have a literature table outside our office. Recently, a Muslim woman came and started looking through the books. She told me, “I had a vision of Jesus. I know that Jesus was Jewish; I want to learn more about him by getting close to the Jews.”

That very day, Idir was visiting and I asked him to come and speak with her. Since then, this woman has been baptised (at Idir’s church) and Idir has continued ministering to her. God enables us to reach Jewish hearts because of partners like you, but I thought you’d like to know that you are linked with us to wonderful partners like Idir, as together we reach both Jewish and Muslim hearts!
