You Are Reaching Jerusalem for Jesus!

Jerusalem is home to many local artists and bohemians, and our team is blessed with several creative people who are connecting with them in unique ways. For example, Adel Ben David makes such beautiful hand-made pottery that numerous people who saw her work asked her to teach a class. Currently, she offers three weekly morning workshops, with seven women from her Jerusalem neighbourhood attending, including Jackie. Adel says, 

“Jackie definitely considers herself religious, and at first she seemed to be the most hostile to my faith among my pottery workshop attendees. But she has warmed up over time. Recently our conversation touched on the Jewish religion including the topic of animal sacrifices. She had dismissed the sacrifices as an antiquated system that is no longer relevant. I was able to explain why God gave the sacrifices as an atonement for sin, and how Jesus, as the ultimate sacrifice, did what all the other sacrifices could only point to. Apparently, Jackie had never heard this perspective before. ‘But why would such a nice Jewish girl like you believe in Jesus?’ she asked. I replied that I will gladly tell her my story next time we meet.”

Please pray for Jackie to be open to hearing Adel’s testimony. And thank you so much for partnering with us to find new ways of engaging Jewish people in gospel conversations – in Jerusalem and around the world!
