7 sets, 1 Tanakh and 1 Bible were given.
The team went to a mall they hadn’t visited in a while and stayed at that center throughout the entire outing. Everyone who received the sets also got the antisemitism pamphlet, the comfort card, and the Beth Ariel contact card. Most of these encounters included conversations.
The first set was given in Hebrew/French to a Jewish man. He was very thankful and grateful. As they were ending the conversation, a friend of his came out of the store, and they started speaking in Hebrew. They offered an antisemitism pamphlet to his friend, but she did not take it.
A set in Hebrew/French was given to a Jewish Moroccan woman. As they spoke with her, she asked if they were Jehovah’s Witnesses, and they assured her they were not, warning that it was a sect. The woman said they were very nice, but a member told her to be careful, as their goal was for her to convert to their sect. One member shared that she was Jewish and that her father was born in Morocco. The member told the woman her last name, and surprised, she shared that her mother had the same last name. She received the entire set, including the Isaiah 53 leaflet. She was very touched when she learned that the Messiah could make her tsadik (righteous). She then took the comfort card and Beth Ariel card.
As they were finishing their conversation, they noticed a woman standing a few feet away, watching them. The team approached her and handed her an antisemitism pamphlet. They expressed their belief that Yeshua was the Messiah and discussed sin and the righteousness found in Yeshua (they gave her the Isaiah 53 leaflet). When they handed her the Beth Ariel contact card, she mentioned the rabbi’s name and said she knew his brother, adding that she and his sister had been best friends. As they parted ways, she turned back to say that those two families had lived just two streets apart in Casablanca. The team was very touched and asked for her phone number so the rabbi could contact her. They hugged before leaving.
One set in Hebrew/French was given to a Jewish woman who was very surprised and grateful to receive such a beautiful gift, as they shared that it was a gift from the SDHS. She said to them, “it must cost a lot.” They then presented the Brit Hadashah and explained that it was the New Testament. She was very interested in taking it and told them that she loved to read.
A Tanakh in Hebrew/French was given to a Jewish woman along with a pin. She was very thankful and grateful.
Another set in Hebrew/French was given to a Jewish man from Morocco. He was smiling as they approached him. They discussed the antisemitism occurring and sin while handing him the Isaiah 53 leaflet, encouraging him to read the entire chapter in the Tanakh. He received the complete set and wanted to make a donation. Before parting ways, he said, “Thank you for your efforts.”
One set in Hebrew/English was given to a Jewish man who comes from Morocco. He shared that his friend had died the previous week. They offered him a set, but he shared that he was not very religious. He was told that it was not about religion, but that God wanted his heart. They talked about David and his relationship with God, as well as about Yeshua, sin, and righteousness that can be found in Him. He also received a pin and was very touched, thankful, and grateful, and the team was moved by his humility.
A man was given a Bible in English after asking the team if they had something to eat. They gave him some food they had in the car and offered him a Bible, as he told them he did not have one.
Then, one set in Hebrew/French was given to a Jewish man who first received the antisemitism pamphlet while he asked them if they were Jewish. A member of the team said that she was and shared that she was Messianic. He was asked if he knew what that meant, and he replied by asking what their purpose was. They told him that it was to give the word of God so that man can return to God. They told him about Yeshua (Jesus) and that they believed He was the Messiah. He was very surprised to receive such a gift and took the leaflet of Isaiah 53. He was very thankful and grateful for the gift and for the conversation.
They thanked God for the beautiful outing and His protection, as there was no opposition. They ask that everyone please continue to pray for this ministry and for the salvation of all those they encountered. All the praise, glory, and honor are His! Amen!

2 sets, 1 Tanakh, 1 Brit Hadashah and 1 Bible were given by Team #1.
There were two teams on that beautiful October day, and they stayed in the same mall during the outing. There were two on the team, and one member was alone.
Team #1
The first set in Hebrew/French was given to an elderly Jewish couple who are from Morocco. They were speaking to the husband while his wife was busy putting the groceries in the car. The man received the antisemitism pamphlet as they discussed the world situation. They presented him with the Tanakh, and he was very happy to receive it. When he saw the Brit, he shared that he had been looking for some information on the Brit Chadashah and was very pleased and happy to accept it. He stayed very attentive throughout the entire conversation and received everything with joy.
An elderly Jewish man received a Tanakh in both English and Hebrew. A team member immediately approached him and started talking about Yeshua. As they talked, they noticed his fears and hesitation fade, especially when they mentioned that only God could save him and that He was calling on him. He was deeply touched by this and accepted the Tanakh but declined the Brit Chadashah. They gave him the Beth Ariel card and encouraged him to listen to the word. The team members shared that they were very moved by this encounter because the man was smiling. They thanked God for His protection during the exchange as they discussed Yeshua, Jesus, and saw a woman watching from a distance, who then decided to leave.
One Brit Chadashah was given to a Jewish woman who took the antisemitism pamphlet and asked, “When will it end?” They answered, “When the Messiah will come back.” She said she already had a Tanakh. The woman was sitting in her car, but they thanked God that their conversation continued as they told her they believed that Yeshua was the Messiah. They presented her with the Brit Chadashah and shared about the Jewishness of that book. She was happy to accept it along with a bookmark, a comfort card, an Isaiah 53 leaflet, and the Beth Ariel contact card.
One set in Hebrew/English was given to a Jewish woman. They handed her an anti-Semitism pamphlet and asked if she was part of the Jewish community. She said her father was Jewish but that she had been told she was not Jewish. She explained she was born in Poland and raised by her grandmother on her father’s side. A team member told her that her father was Jewish, but not her mother. The team member also mentioned that her father was raised by his parents to believe his children were not Jewish. The member then told her that she learned from the rabbi at their congregation, Beth Ariel, that according to the Scriptures, she was Jewish. As they confirmed her Jewish identity, she became emotional and shared that she never knew her true background. They explained how God loved her and how she could become a child of God through Yeshua and be spiritually saved. She took the Beth Ariel card and was invited to attend the congregation. She said she couldn’t come that week but would come the next. She was very excited to hear that she could listen to Beth Ariel’s messages on the radio and online. This encounter deeply moved them.
They thank God for His faithfulness, His word, and the privilege to share His word. They are humbled and grateful to Him. All praise, glory, and honor belong to Him!
Team #2
1 Tanakh, 1 French Bible were given, plus several antisemitism pamphlets
This team member, who was alone, reported that she had a conversation with a young man from Syria who said he was a believer in Jesus. They had a long conversation about sin and forgiveness. He accepted a pamphlet on antisemitism and a Beth Ariel contact card.
A French Bible was given to a French-speaking woman who was very touched, first by the antisemitism pamphlet. When she was offered the Bible, she was thankful and recognized the importance of the Word of God.
A Jewish woman received a Tanakh and was surprised to be offered such a beautiful and free gift. She gladly accepted it and told the member to have a “good Shabbat” in Yiddish. She was also given a comfort card, an antisemitism pamphlet, and the Beth Ariel contact card.
The member approached a Jewish family, and the son, who was in his 30s, told her that he was Israeli. His mood was uplifted and spontaneous, and he wanted to share his joy with the team member. He expressed that he was very thankful for his family. They were offered the Tanakh, but the mother exclaimed that they had brought everything with them from Israel. The family listened as the member talked about Yeshua, the Messiah, and the father accepted the Beth Ariel contact card without hesitation.
She then met a religious, Jewish man who was dressed traditionally and was of retirement age. He accepted both the comfort card, the Beth Ariel contact card, and a bookmark, and was encouraged to read about the true Messiah who had already come and promised to return to rule and reign in Jerusalem. He was very touched upon hearing this and smiled at her.
As the member was preparing to return to the other team at the end of the outing, she met a Jewish couple. The man spoke a few Herew words to her, and then the woman, who had looked at the pamphlet, mentioned that she knew about the Messianic congregation on Monkland Avenue. The member shared the pastor’s name with her, and then the woman said she knew a member of the congregation. It was a pleasant encounter, and as they parted, the woman gave the team member a hug. The team member was very thankful for the pleasant day and for the covering provided by the prayer partners’ support.
