I'm glad I answered the phone that day! A Christian was calling the Jews for Jesus South Africa office to give one of our missionaries the name of her Jewish friend. This Christian woman had lent a Jesus for Jews book to Susan, who was spiritually hungry. Susan wanted to meet someone who was Jewish and a believer in Jesus.

Have you ever felt like giving up? Have you ever thought a Jewish friend who seemed so closed to the gospel of Jesus would never accept the Lord? A Christian woman named Marie had been babysitting for a Jewish couple. Over a period of two years she had built a friendship and prayed about witnessing to them. Then God brought a Jewish believer her way to give her some advice. After much prayer and many questions, Marie felt ready to try. She invited Holly and her husband to watch a video that portrayed Christianity in relation to the Passover. Holly had never realized that Marie was one of those born-again" types, and she became increasingly uncomfortable as the video was running. Her response was, "Thanks, but we're not interested."

QUESTION: I have a Jewish friend who is searching for spiritual truth, but when I witnessed to her she said that she would not consider Christianity because it teaches that all of her dead relatives who never believed in Jesus are in hell. How do I talk to her?

I had been preparing to conduct a special Christ in the Passover" presentation at Peninsula Bible Church, my home church. Having presided over the previous year's Maundy Thursday service, this time I wanted to do something different. I decided to add more of a musical emphasis by using the local training team for the Liberated Wailing Wall.
