Honest conversations. Bold faith. From the heart of Israel.
Our official YouTube channel, So Be It!, hosted by Jeff Morgan, Arielle Randle, and Elisha Lazarus, explores all matters of Jewish faith in Jesus. It features street interviews with ultra-Orthodox Jews, personal testimonies, long-form discussions in the So Be It! studio in Tel Aviv, and so much more!
Your gifts and prayers make it possible to reach millions with the gospel around the world. See the impact So Be It! has had in just the last two years.
So Be It!’s reach is more than just numbers; it’s about real people finding Yeshua in real time. In cities across the world, Jewish people are encountering the gospel in deeply personal ways. Recently, one such story came to life in a way no one but God could have scripted.
Jeff Morgan reports:
Elisha Lazarus (one of my So Be It! cohosts) and I recently traveled to Budapest, Hungary, to do street interviews and to film testimonies of Jewish believers in Jesus. After we filmed Daniel’s testimony, he told us about his friend with whom he had been sharing the gospel. Despite having had many conversations about Jesus together, Daniel sensed his friend still wasn’t ready to commit his life to the Lord.
The next day, Daniel showed us a surprising text message he had received from his friend asking if he had seen the So Be It! YouTube channel. Daniel was shocked because he had just filmed his testimony with us the day before. We quickly filmed a short video saying hello to his friend and sent it to him. In the video, I encouraged him to make a profession of faith. Later that day, Daniel’s friend sent back a text message saying he had prayed to receive Yeshua’s (Jesus’) gift of salvation. What an amazing series of events. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
Daniel sharing his Testimony with Jeff
What’s more amazing than that? This isn’t a rare occurrence. Over the last two years, we’ve regularly heard from Jewish viewers who’ve come to faith through what they’ve seen on So Be It! I’m incredibly thankful for the prayer and support from our donors. We’re especially encouraged by the fruit we’re seeing as more and more people return to God. Even amidst missile attacks in Israel, we’ve seen Jewish people spiritually hungrier and more curious than ever about Yeshua, our Jewish Messiah.
Please pray for Daniel’s friend, that he will grow in the Lord, and pray for continued growth of our So Be It! YouTube channel to reach even more Jewish seekers. And as always, please continue praying for the peace of Jerusalem!

Daniel’s friend is one of many whose heart has been stirred by the gospel through So Be It! But what happens after that first moment of faith? For Simon,* a viewer from a deeply religious Jewish background, the journey did not end with a single video. His story shows how the channel continues to nurture believers through deeper discipleship and helps them reconcile faith in Jesus with their Jewish identity.
We’re so grateful that through your prayers and support, our So Be It! YouTube channel is making an eternal impact in the lives of Jewish people around the world! We’re taking the gospel directly to the streets of Israel and the world, boldly sharing Yeshua with those who have never heard his truth. Through these videos, millions are hearing the gospel and being equipped to share it with boldness and love.

Here is his message to us:**
Shalom,
My name is Simon. I recently came across your YouTube channel. I was born and raised Jewish (my father is part of Chabad), and I’ve always felt a deep connection to Judaism and God. Still, something felt missing. I prayed regularly and attended synagogue, trying to be faithful, but I assumed my lack of fulfillment meant I wasn’t religious enough.
That changed this year when I started watching The Chosen. I was immediately drawn to Jesus. The show opened my eyes and made me reflect on moments in my life that now seem like more than coincidences: people mentioning Jesus, finding a Bible at a garage sale, and feeling compelled to read it.
Reading the New Testament for the first time, Jesus’ words struck me deeply. In Matthew, he speaks against performative faith. I remember thinking the same in synagogue, some people seemed more focused on appearances than connections. And the more I read, the more I realized that Jesus and his disciples were Jewish. It’s all rooted in Judaism.
I used to think being Jewish meant I couldn’t believe in Jesus. Now I see that’s not true. I still embrace my Jewish identity, but I also believe Jesus is the Messiah. Since then, I’ve felt more peace and joy. When life gets hard, I remind myself that my faith in Adonai the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit is enough.
My father believes I’ve been brainwashed. He says I can’t believe in Jesus and still be Jewish. I respectfully disagree. His reaction reminds me of those who opposed Jesus in his time. I used to think Jesus had nothing to do with the Jewish people, but now I see he came for us too. I’ve come to realize it’s not lineage that saves us but faith alone.
I’m writing to thank you. It’s not easy going against the grain. I still feel guilt and resistance, especially from my father, but my faith sustains me. The path isn’t easy, but it’s worth it. I’ll keep watching your videos and learning more about Messianic Judaism. Thank you for your work. You’re helping guide others, Jewish and non-Jewish, toward truth and salvation.
God bless!
Our team has reached out to Simon and is walking alongside him on his discipleship journey. Please pray that Simon will continue to grow in faith and that his father will also discover Yeshua’s life-transforming love.
Every testimony is a reminder that God is at work, even in the most unexpected places. Through So Be It!, Jewish seekers are finding hope, truth, and a deeper understanding of who Yeshua is. Thank you for standing with us as we share the good news through one conversation, one video, one life at a time.
