Report from Sydney

Alexander Adelson

Finally, we had the opportunity to invite people into our newly opened common space in the heart of Sydney, and 11 people showed up! All of them were Russian speakers—open-minded, mostly young, or at least young in spirit. What made this gathering particularly special was that it was our first meeting where the majority of attendees were nonbelievers. It was incredible to see them open up, engage in deep conversations, and share their stories. I had the privilege of sharing my own journey, which led to meaningful discussions about faith, identity, and purpose. Seeing Jews and Gentiles from diverse backgrounds come together in a space dedicated to God and ministry—a place where an Israeli flag stands as a reminder of His promises—was truly moving. It was a glimpse of what the apostle Paul envisioned when he said, “I wish that all of you were as I am,” meaning that all would come to faith in Messiah Yeshua. Our prayer and hope are to continue hosting more of these gatherings—creating a space for hospitality, connection, and deep conversations. We long for people to come, share their hearts, exchange contacts, and build genuine relationships. Would you please pray that through this, we may have the opportunity to speak to their souls and reveal the love of Yeshua?
