Ministry Moments

From Bob Mendelsohn, Sydney

As we wrote in the last Singapore Newsletter, every branch of the Jews for Jesus has launched capstone projects as part of our celebration of the 50th anniversary of the ministry, our Jubilee. We will certainly report fully on all of the amazing things the Lord is doing through these projects, but here’s a story of one of its fi rst fruits.

Samantha* was working for her local synagogue and just recently resigned. A friend of hers, a Jewish believer, introduced us years ago, but Samantha was always reluctant to meet with us or hear what we have to say. Only once did she respond to an invite from me, and we had a one-off visit. It was deep and meaningful. But then she dropped out of sight, ignoring all further invitations. Then when our Sydney capstone project began, a big biblical art exhibition, I thought of Samantha again, sent her an invite, then texted her – and voila, she came! It was a real milestone for her to attend a Jews for Jesus event for the fi rst time. Would you please pray that the Lord would open her heart and I would be able to continue ministering to her?
