I have been a missionary with the Jews for Jesus ministry for seven years. I can't say that it's ever been boring. I am currently working with our Los Angeles branch, but for the first 3-1/2 years that I was on staff, I traveled with the Liberated Wailing Wall, our musical mobile evangelistic team.
