Outreach Report - June 24th 2026

Tuesday June 16, 2026

3 Sets were given out, pamphlets and 1 prayer of salvation

The team stayed at the same mall throughout the outing. It was quiet when they started, but it got busier midway through the outing.

They met a Gentile Lebanese woman who, when they offered her the antisemitism pamphlet, told them she was Christian. As they began asking questions about her faith, they could clearly hear that she was not saved because she trusted in her works. The team plainly told her that, according to her own words, she was not saved, explaining that salvation is by grace through faith alone, through the finished work of Jesus and the blood atonement for sins. They asked her if she wanted to pray to receive Jesus as her personal Savior. She did not hesitate, prayed with one of the team members, tears in her eyes, and said that she had never heard anyone speak like this. She said that if there were more people like this team, the world would be wonderful. The team explained the importance of starting to read the Bible, since she had shared that she owned one. They also explained the importance of growing in her sanctification and in her new relationship with God, her Father, and of learning how to pray. She was encouraged to read the Bible and to listen to the messages online, and she was given the Beth Ariel card. At the end of the conversation, the team quoted 2 Corinthians 5:17. “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, this person is a new creation, the old things passed away; behold new things have come.” She then started to cry again. She also shared that she had learned Italian after one team member mentioned she was Italian. They hugged, and she was invited to come to Beth Ariel or to call if she wanted a visit. It was a very touching encounter.

One set in English/Hebrew was given to a Jewish woman. As they offered the antisemitism pamphlet, the woman told them she did not have time because she was going to Maimonides. She then changed her mind, opened the window, and accepted the antisemitism pamphlet and the whole set after the team explained that it was a gift. They inserted the Isaiah 53 leaflet into the gift bag and gave her the Beth Ariel card. She received everything with joy and told them that what they were doing was great. She was very thankful and grateful.

One set in English/Hebrew was given to a Gentile woman. When they handed her the antisemitism pamphlet, they asked whether she was part of the Jewish community. She told them she was not Jewish but that her husband was. She also said she was Christian. They then asked what her husband’s religion was. She said he used to go to church with her, and they both went to the synagogue during the holidays. The team spoke about Yeshua/Jesus and shared that the fulfillment of Israel’s feasts is found in Yeshua. One of the team members shared that she was a Messianic Jew and that Jesus is the only Savior for Jews and Gentiles. The team invited both of them to come to Beth Ariel. She replied that her husband could no longer travel, but she said she would try to come, as she was looking forward to visiting with them. She was very touched and said they were doing a good job. They hugged each other before leaving her.

One set in French/Hebrew was given to a Gentile woman. She was surprised to see the team standing in front of her car with pamphlets. She opened her window and accepted the antisemitism pamphlet. She told them was Italian and spoke Italian with one of the team members. She also told them she was a Christian. The team discussed the Jewishness of Jesus, explained the Old and New Testaments, and how there is one Book. She took a set for her cousin, who is Jewish, and was very thankful and grateful.

3 sets and one Bible were given. They also distributed pamphlets, comfort cards and conversations.

At the first mall, as they were about to start evangelizing, they saw a security car parked. They decided to go to another place, and as soon as they entered the parking lot, they saw two police cars parked there, with officers talking window to window. They then went to another mall where they could finally start the outing. It was quiet, but they were able to distribute some pamphlets.

One set in French/Hebrew was given to a Jewish Moroccan woman. They discussed why antisemitism has persisted since Israel’s creation. They emphasized the need to know the promises and covenants God has made to Israel, as world news often contradicts the Word of God. The woman shared that she stopped listening to the news because she understands how biased it is. She shared that Israel was doing well and that she wanted to do good for others. They explained that the Scriptures define antisemitism as an eternal hatred. They gave her a comfort card as they read a promise from Zechariah 2:8. They also stressed the importance of knowing the prophecies, which make up 30% of the Tanakh, especially those that speak about the Messiah. One of the team members shared that she was a Messianic Jew, and both team members shared their faith in Yeshua/Jesus, noting that the true Yeshua/Jesus is from the Scriptures, as there are many “Jesuses”. They also shared how the Word of God became distorted by false Christians who persecuted the Jewish people. They mentioned that things will get worse as antisemitism is rising, referencing Jacob’s trouble. One of the team members shared that she was following Biblical Judaism and not Rabbinical Judaism. They gave her the Isaiah 53 leaflet and encouraged her to read the passage, explaining how the Messiah can make her tsadik, righteous before God. As they parted ways, she encouraged them and said that what they were doing was great.

One of the team members suggested going onto the street because the parking lot was quiet. They encountered two Jewish men who initially refused the antisemitism pamphlet when it was offered. The team emphasized the importance of understanding what was going on and explained that the verses in the pamphlet were from the Tanakh. Both turned around and took the pamphlets. They were offered the Tanakh as a gift, but they declined, saying they could not take it in the street like that.

As they were both leaving, they noticed a Jewish man watching and waiting to talk to them. They approached him and had a long conversation for about 30 minutes. They discussed many topics and, of course, shared their faith in Yeshua, the Jewish Messiah. They explained the difference between Rabbinical and Biblical Judaism and shared the verse in the Brit Chadashah where Yeshua said in John 5:46, “If you believed Moses; you would believe in Me; for he wrote about Me,” and the passage in Luke 5:32, “I did not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.” The man said he was in his eighties and had 26 grandchildren. He also shared that his son was religious, but he himself did not follow Rabbinical Judaism. He received two sets, one for him and the other for his son. In the gift bags, they placed the Isaiah 53 leaflet, the antisemitism pamphlet, and the Beth Ariel card. He asked them to give him a lift home, as he lived nearby. One of the team members brought him to the building’s door. He was very thankful and encouraged to read and listen to the messages and to call if he wanted a visit or had questions. It was a very endearing encounter.

As the team member returned to the spot where they had been, the other team member was talking to a Gentile Slovakian man. The man had approached the team member, made a comment, and a conversation began. He shared that he was married to a Jewish woman born in the Czech Republic, who had returned to live there with their daughter and her two twin girls. He shared his love for the Jewish people, as he has many friends, and his love for his family. He shared his background, explaining that he was raised in a religious home and later, as an adult, felt pressure to convert to Christianity, as he described his experiences. One of the team members shared part of her testimony because she had lived through similar experiences. He then shared how he became agnostic when, during World War Two, he saw a pile of children’s eyeglasses, witnessing the horror of the Holocaust. He explained that he became like the philosopher Baruch Spinoza. He was very open to receiving the Word as they spoke about many subjects and the spiritual salvation he could have in Yeshua, saying that it is God who is calling him. They gave him an English Bible, the antisemitism pamphlet, and the Beth Ariel card. They encouraged him to read and to listen to the messages online or on the radio, and to listen to the Pastor’s testimony. They encouraged him to open his heart wide to God. He was very appreciative, smiled as he asked for their names, and they shook hands.

The teams thank God for the wonderful outings and the wide-open hearts of those they met, who welcomed them and engaged in open discussions. Praise the Lord!
