Wednesday, July 8th, 2026
1 Bible was given, plus there were some conversations, and a few pamphlets were distributed.
A team of two reported that it was a very warm day and that few people were out and about. Only a few people stopped to receive the pamphlets or to talk at the first mall.
At the second mall, a Bible in French was given to a couple. The wife was from Poland, and her husband was from the United States. As the team began a conversation with them, the woman said she was “born a Catholic.” The team explained that no one is born into a religion and that the decision of which religion to follow is personal. The team discussed sin and the redemption available through Jesus Christ, explaining that salvation comes only by grace through faith. The team noticed that the woman’s husband was very attentive to what was shared. They received the Bible, the antisemitism pamphlet, and the Beth Ariel card, and the team encouraged them to read and listen to the online messages. They were very thankful.
They then met a Jewish man who believed that all the credit for the nation of Israel’s survival should go to the nation of Israel. The team responded that Israel still existed because of God and told him about God’s protection of this nation. He responded by saying “maybe.” They also spoke about God’s love for Israel. They then discussed Israel’s history and shared that antisemitism was described as “an everlasting hatred” in the Book of Ezekiel. He returned, saying that he did not believe that and that it was due to envy and jealousy. He believed the nation was united when they spoke about the recent poll showing a great division that was appearing in Israel, and that there was no unity. Unfortunately, the conversation ended as he received a phone call.
The team met a man from Syria and immediately noticed he was wearing a cross. He shared that he was an Orthodox Christian. When they handed him the antisemitism pamphlet and began a conversation, he confessed that he hated Israel and said that all the problems going on were because of Israel. The team tried to speak about the blessings that Israel had brought to the nations through the Bible, the Word of God, and the Messiah, Christ Jesus, who came from the Jewish nation. They warned him not to be deceived by the news spoken of in the world, because the truth can only be found in the Bible. They shared the passage in Genesis 12:3, “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse.” They encouraged him to seek the truth as they left.
The team thanked God for the pamphlets that were given and the conversations that were held. They also thanked Him because He is sovereign, omnipotent, and omniscient, and does not want anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance.

7 sets, 2 bibles were given along with several pamphlets.
The team of two first went to a mall they had not visited in quite a while. It had always been a blessing, as the people there were very open and excited to receive the word of God.
One set in Hebrew was given to an Israeli man. He was born in Israel, and his parents had come from Morocco. They had a brief conversation about their faith in Yeshua, explaining how Yeshua fulfilled the prophecies at His first coming and pointing to the Tanakh. They gave him the Isaiah 53 leaflet and explained the righteousness one can have through the Messiah. They spoke about sin and shared how Adam and Eve believed in a Messiah to come (Genesis 3:20, 4:1). They mentioned Abraham and how his faith reckoned him righteous (Habakkuk 2:4). They spoke about the antisemitism going on and how it was important to focus on God’s word. They encouraged him to seek the truth and quoted Amos 5:4. The man was very humble and thankful as he received all the literature with joy. They shook hands before leaving him.
Two sets were given to a Jewish, Moroccan woman. She received the antisemitism pamphlet, and as they started a conversation, she shared that her daughter was very religious. They explained the difference between rabbinical and biblical Judaism and how God wanted a relationship with men. He did not desire for them to have a religion but for Him to be the focus of their hearts. The woman did not know what separated man from God, so they explained that it was sin; she agreed, and as they handed her the Isaiah 53 leaflet to read, they explained that righteousness could only come through the Messiah. They shared how salvation is through faith and never by works. As they spoke about antisemitism, she shared that she had been mourning since the attack that happened on October 7th, 2023, and that her daughter was concerned for her. The team told her that they were also grieving and spoke about the persecution that Israel had endured since its creation. They referenced Moses and the passage in Jeremiah during the time of the diaspora and quoted Jeremiah 31, “Rachel is weeping for her children,…because they are no more”. They gave her a comfort card with the promises of God for Israel and shared about His love for Israel. She was very touched and thanked them, repeating several times, “God help you”. She received two sets, one for her daughter and one for herself. She took out her wallet and wanted to give them a donation, but they explained that it was a gift. They hugged her before leaving and were very touched by this encounter.
The team noticed that a religious man was watching them, so they decided to leave that mall as a precaution.
At the other mall, they gave a set in Russian/Hebrew to a Jewish man who was with his father. He received the antisemitism pamphlet and the set in Russian. When he saw the Tanakh, he gasped, took a deep breath, and smiled. He was so happy to receive the whole set as a gift. He also received the Isaiah 53 leaflet in Russian and a bookmark. There was a brief conversation with him about sin and the righteousness that comes through Yeshua. They asked if his father also wanted a set, but he declined, explaining that he was living with his father and that they were going to share the Scriptures. They were both very gentle and humble, which touched the team’s hearts.
They met a Jewish man who was with another religious Jewish man. They offered the antisemitism pamphlet to one of the men who had approached them in a very gentle manner. He took the pamphlet and a comfort card, and the team explained that all the passages were from the Tanakh. One of the team members revealed that she was Messianic and handed him the Beth Ariel card. The man received all the literature and thanked them. He was very open and attentive, and the team was happy to see that the religious man was listening to the conversation in the background.
Two sets were given to a Jewish, Moroccan woman. She took one set in Hebrew for her daughter, who lives in Israel, and another set in French/Hebrew for herself. She shared that she was leaving soon for Jerusalem to visit her daughter, who was sick. She shared personal information with them, and the team was deeply touched by her openness. The team revealed their faith in Yeshua. She listened intently and was very receptive to what was shared. She received all the literature for her daughter and for herself, and they encouraged her to seek the truth, read the word, and listen to the messages as they handed her the Beth Ariel contact card. They let her know that her daughter could also listen to the messages in Israel. They hugged each other and prayed for her and her daughter.
One set in English/Hebrew was given to a very humble Jewish man who was surprised to receive the Tanakh when it was presented to him. When they offered him the Brit Chadashah, he nodded as they explained what it was. They spoke about how Yeshua fulfilled the prophecies during His first coming and then about His second coming, explaining that one can understand what was happening by reading the Scriptures. They then encouraged him to listen to the messages as he received the Beth Ariel card, the Isaiah 53 leaflet, and the antisemitism pamphlet. He was very thankful and grateful.
As they were about to finish the outing, they met two Muslim Moroccan men in a car displaying a Moroccan flag that read “Le Coupe du Monde” (World Cup). They approached the car and shared their faith in Jesus, emphasizing that He is the only Savior for all nations. They offered each of them a Bible, and they accepted with joy, thanking the team. They also gave them the Beth Ariel card and encouraged them to listen to the online messages.
They reported that they had a wonderful outing that day and that the doors were wide open for them to share the Word of God. The team praised God for the wonderful outing and for all the sets that were given.
