Picture yourself on Fifth Avenue in New York City. It is the height of rush hour and the swarm of bodies pushes past you like a solid mass of humanity wearing a thousand different faces. Some are expressionless. Most seem to project feelings of frustration, fatigue and above all, anxiety. It’s almost impossible for you […]
As a missionary with Jews for Jesus, I get excited about being a part of a team that is so much larger than our own staff could ever be. We’re able to be a resource to churches all over the country and, in turn, our best source of contacts for follow-up comes from believers in […]
Recently I spoke at the funeral of a Jewish believer in Jesus named Barbara whom I had discipled. I emphasized to those who gathered that Barbara had realized that Jesus was the promised Messiah for whom the Jewish people had been waiting. God used Barbara’s story in her life as well as in her death. […]

Whenever any of the Jews for Jesus find a notable restaurant on the road” we like to share the information among ourselves. Rob Wertheim found a place we thought we’d share with you, our extended family. It’s called The Crossing and it’s run by a Christian family in Yuma, AZ. Rob enjoyed seeing the following […]
Ed: We don’t normally print letters to the editor, but we were interested in the responses many people sent in regarding Moishe’s column, which appeared in the March newsletter. Some of our friends, like Roy in Peoria, found the column timely in clarifying a question: Dear Jews for Jesus, I want to thank you for […]
Missionary Marcello Araujo reports from Toronto, Like any Jewish son, I called my mother to see how she was doing, and she shyly told me that she had prayed to receive Jesus with a Christian friend! She asked me to pray for her because she feared that my brothers would be angry. What a joy […]
