Jews for Jesus is a worldwide Christian mission that was born against the background of California's Jesus movement and has grown steadily ever since. Holding that Jesus of Nazareth -- God incarnate, crucified, risen, and now reigning -- is the true Messiah foretold in the Old Testament and the true fulfillment of Jewish hopes, the mission exists to press his claims on Jewish people everywhere. It is based on two principles.
I am convinced that sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with our Jewish friends is of utmost importance in God's plan for the world -- and all the more as we draw closer to the return of Christ. By supporting Jews for Jesus, you are doing that in one of the most effective ways possible. Their mission statement says it all. With no apologies, Jews for Jesus exists, to make the Messiahship of Jesus an unavoidable issue to our Jewish people worldwide."
The first followers of Jesus were all Jews -- women and men so touched and changed by him that they had to tell their friends and neighbors -- yes, and their religious and political leaders -- about him. When they were ordered to stop they said, We can't help telling what we've seen and heard."
What a privilege it was to serve on the board of Jews for Jesus! I enjoyed that responsibility for 18 years and regretfully gave it up only because of advancing age (I am now 88).
