Grand total:  1 set, 5 Tanakh, 1 Bible, 2 Brit Chadashah and 1 salvation

Report from Team #1

1 set, 4 Tanakh, 1 Brit Chadashah were given.

At the first mall, a Brit Chadashah in Hebrew/French was given to a Jewish woman from Casablanca, Morocco. She received the Purim pamphlet first, then the Tanakh. However, she had already received one from the team and said she was happy to see them again. She did take the Brit Chadashah and listened as they explained what the New Testament was. She told them she lived in Israel until age ten and then moved to Canada. She mentioned that she visits Israel every year but did not go this past year because of everything happening. She shared that two of her sons are in the IDF, and the team thanked her for their service. The team talked about God’s covenants and promises toward Israel and that these will be fulfilled. She received a comfort card and the Beth Ariel card, and the team member mentioned that their Rabbi was also from Casablanca and shared his last name with her. She said she thought she might know him and wanted to call him. She was very grateful and thankful.

An elderly Jewish woman received a Tanakh in Hebrew while she was with her caregiver. They offered the Brit Chadashah, but she declined and accepted only the Tanakh. She also received the Purim card, the comfort card, and the Beth Ariel card. She was smiling the entire time and was very grateful for these beautiful gifts.

A young Jewish woman was given a Tanakh in Hebrew and English, and she proudly showed her necklace with the Star of David. One of the team members showed her a similar necklace. They asked if she was eighteen or older, and since she was, they presented the Tanakh to her. Unsure of what the book was, she asked them, and they explained it to her. They also gave her a pamphlet on Purim, the comfort card, and the Beth Ariel contact card. She was very joyful and thankful.

A young Jewish couple with their daughter, dressed as Esther for Purim—very adorable, received a Tanakh in Hebrew and English. They were given a Purim pamphlet and offered the Tanakh, but the wife said they already had one. The husband suggested they could give it to someone else, so they accepted the gift. They were very surprised and grateful for it. During a brief conversation, the team discussed the significance of the prophecies in the Holy Scriptures and how God provided them to help people recognize the Messiah, especially since many false messiahs have appeared and will continue to do so. They received an Isaiah 53 leaflet while talking about the righteousness the Messiah offers and how salvation has always been by grace, not works. The team stressed the importance of reading the Tanakh, explaining that it is where God speaks, and noted that many other books were added later. They also talked about the situation in Israel and how everything had already been foretold for these times. The couple said, “HaShem bless you,” and the wife asked if they would like some water, which she described as very sweet. She also shared that she was expecting to give birth that week, and they congratulated her. The team was deeply moved by their encounter with this lovely couple.

The team then moved on to another mall, passing through a couple of residential streets to reach the highway. There, they saw many children and teenagers dressed up for Purim. It was a beautiful sight because of the joy the children displayed; a moment of refreshment during these times of antisemitism.

A set in Hebrew/English was given to a Jewish woman, who initially hesitated to accept it. She explained that she had just made a donation and had no money left to give for the gift. They reassured her that it was a gift from the SDHS. She accepted the set happily, along with the Purim pamphlet and the comfort card.

One Tanakh in Hebrew and English was given to a man who did not take the Brit Chadashah. He was very thankful and accepted all the literature and the Beth Ariel card.

While handing out pamphlets for Purim, a non-Jewish woman who was offered one replied that they weren’t allowed to distribute literature in the parking lot and said she was going inside the store to call security. They told her they would leave.

They thanked God for His protection and the wonderful outing they enjoyed. Praise God!

Report from Team #2

1 Tanakh, 1 Brit Chadashah, 1 Bible were given, plus 1 salvation.

This pair of women was at another shopping mall on the same day. They first met a religious Jewish man who was grateful to receive a bookmark, and they told him that they prayed for the peace of Jerusalem, to which he said, “Amen.” They then blessed him with a Jewish blessing, and he responded again with “Amen.”

They then met a Muslim woman from Gaza. She was tense at the beginning of their conversation but became more at ease, and miraculously, they were able to pray with her for the Arabic nations, peace, and her Iranian and Arab friends. She was offered the antisemitism pamphlet, but she was not ready to accept it, so the team ended the conversation.

A gentleman from Algeria was approached, and he immediately told them that he had been looking for a Bible. They talked to him about salvation through Jesus, about sin, and how King David said in Psalm 51, “Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.” The man recognized that he was a sinner and that Jesus was the Son of God. They shared the gospel with him, and he prayed the prayer of salvation with the team. They continued to pray with him, and as he took the Bible, he looked toward heaven and thanked God, praising Him for His perfect timing.

A Jewish family was approached, and the man took the Purim pamphlet and comfort card. They expressed their gratitude.

They met a Jewish man who accepted the pamphlet and comfort card. He wanted to make a donation, but after trying three times, the team told him they were volunteers from the SDHS and could not accept a donation because it was a free gift. They also shared their belief that Yeshua is the Messiah of Israel. He then accepted the literature, and it surprised the team that he did not disagree or comment on their statement.

The team met a Christian (Catholic) woman with whom they had a long conversation about Jesus, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The woman responded by saying that her family was very religious and that she herself had a positive attitude toward God. She took the pamphlet and was encouraged to read it.

The team had a long conversation with a young man who was over 18. They shared the gospel of Jesus Christ with him and spoke to him about a verse in the Bible that asks, “And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?” (Mark 8:36). They discussed eternal life, and he listened intently.

Later, they met a Jewish man who received a bookmark and the Isaiah 53 leaflet. They then discussed the suffering Messiah, referring to Messiah Ben-Joseph, whom some Jewish people believe is the suffering servant. The man told the team he was not religious when they presented the Tanakh to him. He did receive the literature.

They then met a Jewish lady who accepted the Purim pamphlet and comfort card. She also took the Brit Chadashah while they discussed her rabbi being from Morocco. She mentioned she had a planned vacation the following week to visit Morocco. She accepted the Brit with much gratitude.

They then met a Jewish woman who accepted the Purim pamphlet and comfort card. She hesitated at first, but when she realized it was about Purim, she accepted it happily and also took a Tanakh.

The team is grateful to everyone who prayed for them
