1 set and many pamphlets were given.
It was a warm, sunny day, so a team of two decided to go to a mall with a canopy to shield them from the sun’s rays. There were very few Jewish people out, so they distributed pamphlets to Gentiles and had a few conversations.
Because it was quiet, they decided to stand in front of a kosher store in the shade of a tree. There, they handed a pamphlet on antisemitism to a Jewish woman, who, when offered the set, said she did not read but preferred to listen. They gave her a Beth Ariel contact card and explained who they were and what they believed about Yeshua. She gladly took the card and received a comfort card as well.
The team then met a Jewish, Sephardic man sitting on the stairs of a nearby bakery. He told them he lived on the streets and was very sad about his situation. He shared his desire to have a place to live and work. He was very alert and spoke about his love of God and the Torah. He said that he and his family had gone to Israel to bury his father and that his mother kept the Sabbath. The team did not ask too many personal questions but encouraged him in the Word. They told him about the importance of knowing the whole council of God and of having a Tanakh. They mentioned the prophecies in the Tanakh and said they were important, as well as the need to recognize the Messiah at His coming. He answered that the Messiah had not come yet. They shared their faith in Yeshua, His two comings and His divinity, and about Him being the Son of God as written about in the Tanakh. They read the passages of Isaiah 9:6 and Isaiah 53, where it spoke of the death of the Messiah as a guilt offering for sins, that only through Him one can be justified and made tsadik, and that one is justified by faith and not by works. They shared the passage about Abraham, and how he was justified by faith as he trusted in God’s promises. They shared Habakkuk 2:4, “But the righteous one shall live by his faith,” and the passage in Zechariah 12:10 about His return to save Israel and reign in Jerusalem in the Messianic times. They told him that the purpose of the law was to reveal that no one could keep the whole law and how one becomes conscious of one’s sins. They told him about Moses and that he was not able to enter the Promised Land, and then about Yeshua, who fulfilled the whole law. They shared some of the passages dealing with a new covenant spoken of by the prophet Jeremiah (31:31) and how God wanted his heart, and encouraged him to read and seek the truth in the Scriptures as he received the whole set. He was hesitant to take the Tanakh because it would be heavy for him to carry, but decided to take it anyway. A member observed that during the conversation, as they were reading the Scriptures, he became more excited, stood up, and looked at the verses. He kept on saying in Hebrew, “Kol HaKavod” (meaning he was impressed). They gave him the Beth Ariel card and took the time to pray with him for a place to live, for work, healing, and salvation. It was a moving encounter, and they were comforted that they could leave everything in God’s gracious and loving hand. They asked for a prayer for O.
Report for Thursday, June 11th, 2026
1 Tanakh, 5 Bibles were given along with 1 prayer of salvation.
On this day, a team of three was out at a local mall.
Team #1 arrived first and approached a woman. She stated that she was a born-again believer. She was offered a Bible, which she accepted. They prayed for her and her son, and she was thankful. She said she was very happy to meet the team and to receive her gift.
Then a team member continued the outreach on her own for a short while and encountered an Iranian Jewish man with whom she had a brief conversation in which she presented the Messianic viewpoint. He did not take the Tanakh but did accept the antisemitism pamphlet. He was very kind and thanked her for her efforts.
She also met a Christian man sitting on a bench who said he was born-again. He wanted to show her a little booklet containing words from Psalm 23 that he always carried. She accepted the pamphlet, and she said it was a sweet conversation.
She then met a woman who said she was Jewish on her father’s side of the family. Although the team member wanted to offer her the Tanakh, she did not have time because they were interrupted at that moment. A traditionally dressed Jewish man walking by stopped and asked the member what she was doing. He did not wait for a reply but asked if she was Jewish. She stated that she had Jewish heritage, and then he asked what she was handing out. She explained that she was giving words of comfort and an antisemitism pamphlet that informed people that one day antisemitism would cease when the Messiah would return. She then spoke of Yeshua being the Messiah. At that point, the man identified himself as a rabbi from Morocco. As the conversation continued, he invited her to attend a conference at a local, well-known synagogue, and if she attended, he would have a chance to speak further to her about the Messiah. She asked if he believed in the Messiah, and he said he did, adding that His name was Ben David. The member asked if he ever considered Ben Joseph, the suffering Messiah as spoken of in Isaiah 53. He asked her, “Who is this?”, and she answered, Yeshua. He exclaimed that this was a different viewpoint from his. He then took time to look over the pamphlet but returned it to her. She stated it was a good conversation and wondered if she might attend the conference she was invited to. The woman she was talking with when the rabbi appeared left the conversation midway.
The same member then met a Jewish man who had a Tanakh and was very surprised to find it free. He was very happy to receive the literature and the Tanakh.
She then met a young man in his thirties who was sitting on the ground with his dog beside him. He was strategically positioned by the entrance. She sensed his spiritual need and talked to him about Jesus. She told him, “I am a sinner. Do you believe that you are a sinner also?” He replied yes. After speaking to him about sin and salvation, she asked if he wanted to repent of his sin and say a prayer for salvation and forgiveness of his sins. He said he wanted to pray and stood with her to do so. Afterward, she asked if he wanted a Bible, and he said yes. She encouraged him to read the Gospel of John, gave him a Beth Ariel contact card, and urged him to call the pastor.
The other two team members were stationed elsewhere in the mall when they met two young women in their twenties who were leaning against their car and smoking. The team approached them and offered an antisemitism pamphlet in French. They told the team in broken French that they had just arrived in Canada. Because they were Spanish-speaking, they were offered a Spanish Bible. Happily, they both said yes and accepted the two Bibles, repeating thank you many times. One team member knew some Spanish and encouraged them to read their new Bibles.
One Bible was given to a woman who was loading her groceries into the trunk of her car. She was asked whether she was a Christian, and she said yes. She was encouraged to read the whole Bible, starting with the Gospel of John, so she would better understand the superiority and authority of Christ. She was very thankful and touched by the gift.
After handing out several pamphlets and comfort cards, the team had a long conversation with a man sitting in his car, waiting for his daughter. He said he was from the Congo and had lived in Canada for nine years. He accepted the antisemitism pamphlet. After learning that he was a born-again Christian, he asked the team a question. He wanted to know why other countries that experienced genocide had received less recognition and why the focus was on the Jewish nation and its population alone. The team explained that God always provided a remnant of Jewish believers because of His faithful promise. The oracles and the gifts were irrevocable. God was faithful to His promise that Israel would not cease to exist, and despite the persecutions over the centuries, He would be with her. The man conceded that he believed the statement to be true but added that all believers in Christ were chosen as well, and concluded that it was for a different reason. His daughter arrived at that point, so he took a contact card along with the pamphlet and said he would contact the pastor to discuss the matter further.
The team of three was grateful that the security official’s visit was brief and that their encounters were meaningful and respectful. They thanked everyone who prayed for them and gave God the glory.
