5 sets and 3 bibles were given.
On this day, the team spent the entire time at one mall. They first had a conversation with a man who was Catholic but was no longer practising or attending church. They shared the difference between having a religion versus a relationship with God through Jesus. They spoke about sin and how it separates man from God, but yet, how one can be reconciled to God through the sacrifice of Yeshua. They shared the importance of knowing when one dies where he will spend eternity: heaven or hell. He received the antisemitism pamphlet and the Beth Ariel card and was very attentive and thankful.
One set in Hebrew/English was given to a woman who was very emotional and upset with the situation in the world. She shared some personal details on how she had experienced persecution by Christians because she was Jewish. They told her that not everyone who proclaims to be Christians, truly are. They gave her a set and encouraged her to read and listen to the teachings from their pastor at Beth Ariel congregation. They spoke to her about the true hope that can only be found in Yeshua, the Messiah, as written in the Scriptures. Opening the Brit Chadashah, they presented the genealogy of Yeshua, son of Abraham, son of David. They read to her part of the leaflet of Isaiah 53 and shared that the Messiah, Yeshua can make her tsadik, righteous. They spoke of Yom Kippur and how blood is required for the atonement of sins, and quoted the verse in Leviticus 17:11, showing how Yeshua was the final sacrifice. They showed her the passage in Isaiah 53 so she could read it, and she said that she would take the time to read at home. She received a pin, a comfort card and a hug before she left.
Two sets were given in Hebrew/English to an Israeli woman. One of the team members shared that she was Messianic and the woman responded immediately by saying that she too believed that Yeshua is the Messiah. The team was very surprised to hear that, as they hugged each other. The woman shared a little bit of her testimony, that she was baptized in Israel and when she moved to Montreal, she was re-baptized in a Pentecostal church. The team offered her the Beth Ariel card, and she informed them that she had visited the congregation in 2023 and had already met the pastor and his wife. They invited her to come again and told her that she could also listen to the messages on the internet or on the radio.
They gave an antisemitism pamphlet to an elderly Algerian man who was very thankful. They spoke about Jesus/Yeshua being the Messiah/the Christ. He said that he believes in Yeshua but also in many other religions and respects them all. They replied by saying that there was only one truth and the truth is in the Bible and that the way to God was through Jesus only. They encouraged him to listen to the teachings on the radio or on the internet. He told them that it was good what they were doing.
One set in Hebrew/French was given to an elderly man. He was given the antisemitism pamphlet first as his wife continued to walk. The man was very touched as he took the time to receive everything and wanted to give a donation, but they responded right away saying that this was a gift. They also gave him two pins, one for himself and one for his wife. They were very thankful and grateful.
Three young Algerian, Kabylic Arab men received three bibles. They spoke to them about Yeshua being the Messiah, the Christ for the Jewish nation and also for all the other nations of the world and told them that they could receive salvation through Jesus. They shared how the soul did not die and how they could have eternal life in Jesus. They told them that there was only one way to God and that was through Yeshua, the only way to God. They spoke about the situation in Israel and the Middle East, and how everything was foretold in the Bible, and how this led to antisemitism that was going on right then. The men were listening attentively and as they were speaking to them, they noticed a woman was waiting to speak to them. At this, one of the team members went to speak to her and found out that she was from the Jewish community. She received the Book of Life pamphlet and was asked if she would like to have the Tanakh as a gift and she responded that she would. A member went to the car to get the three bibles and a set in Hebrew/English for the woman. The set was handed to her, and she shared that she already had received a set but wanted one for her sister as she was religious. The member spoke about Yeshua and that He only could make one tsadik, and that no good works would redeem anyone. She said, “God is holy” and received the Beth Ariel card to which she was encouraged to listen to the pastor’s sermons. When the member shared about Yeshua, the woman responded, “Amen!” The men were given the three bibles and the Beth Ariel business cards as well, and shown where they could listen to the messages. They invited them to come to the congregation.
The team thanked God for His faithfulness and goodness, not wanting anyone to perish but to be saved! Amen!

2 sets and 3 Tanakh, plus 1 Brit Chadashah which was given and reported separately by another team member.
On this pleasant day, a team of three ladies opened their outreach day at a local large mall. A team of two were in a separate area and one member was on her own. The member who worked alone reported that she had a conversation with a Jewish man who stopped to listen as the member spoke to him about the Messianic viewpoint and offered him the Book of Life pamphlet. He told her that his wife was an Evangelical Christian and at that, he broke into song. It was a surprise to the member who realized how happy he was. He was given the Beth Ariel contact card, saying he thought he knew of the congregation. He did not accept any scripture from the member.
More Book of Life pamphlets and antisemitism pamphlets were given then but as it was quiet and it appeared that the Jewish community was not shopping there, they decided to move on to the next mall on their list.
At the new mall, they split once again into two teams with one member being on her own. She reported later that she had given out a Brit Chadashah and that report will be given separately.
The other team of two met a Jewish woman who was very impressed with her free gift and accepted it readily. They had a small conversation with her and encouraged her to listen to the word of God online as she had been given the Beth Ariel contact card. She was very thankful.
They then met a woman who stated she was a born-again believer in Jesus and they took a time of prayer with her.
Following that, they encountered a Jewish Orthodox man who was wearing a kippa. He took the Book of Life pamphlet, and they had a good conversation with him. They spoke about the Messiah and how He was talked about in Isaiah 53. They gave him the Isaiah 53 leaflet and pointed out the flip side which had a quote from the Babylonian Talmud, Sanhedrin 98b where it states, “The Rabbis said: His name is “the leper scholar,” as it is written, surely, he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him a leper, smitten of God, and afflicted (Isaiah 53:4)”. Speaking of the blood atonement, they told him that good work for repentance and mitzvahs did not take precedence over the blood atonement given by the Messiah, Yeshua. He did not disregard the member’s comments and accepted the Book of Life pamphlet.
They met a woman who was on her lunch break. She took the time to speak with the team and accepted the pamphlet and a contact card. She was shown where she could enter the Beth Ariel website and listen to their pastor’s Messianic teachings. She thanked them but did not take any scripture. She wished the team well.
Then they met a young Christian believer who worked in a Jewish school and was given a Tanakh to offer to a friend. She was enthusiastic to hear about the Messianic viewpoint and so was invited to visit the congregation.
They then saw a Jewish lady who was dressed in traditional black. She accepted a business card and the Book of Life pamphlet.
There was a conversation with a Jewish lady from Hungary who told the member that she was close to 97 years old. The member stated that she was very energetic with clear eyes. The woman accepted a bookmark, a contact card, and was encouraged to listen to the word of God.
A Jewish lady accepted a Book of Life pamphlet, contact card and a Tanakh after speaking for sometime about the Messianic viewpoint. She stated that it was the first time she had heard about this viewpoint and wanted to offer a donation for the gift. She was surprised to learn it was freely given and so wished the team well.
The team met a Muslim man from Tunisia. He told them that he had Jewish friends and asked them a question about the blood atonement as it confused him. A member told him about Leviticus 17:11 where it states, “it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life”. He said he was familiar with this as he had read parts of the Torah. The team spoke then about the divinity of the Messiah and referenced Isaiah 9:6 and led into the Messiah being God and how salvation came through Him, and that His name was Yeshua. He thanked them for taking time to speak with him but refused any scripture, instead opting to take the contact card.
They encountered a Jewish lady at her car. She told them that she had a friend who was leaving to go back to Israel and so they gave her a gift set, two Beth Ariel contact cards and two Book of Life pamphlets (one for herself and one for her friend). They asked permission if they could pray for her in the name of Yeshua and she accepted. She was thankful and encouraged the team to continue their good work.
Finally, a Jewish lady wearing a plaid blouse and sporting lots of jewellery met the team at their car. She saw that the team was offering a gift to someone and wanted to know why they were there. She showed them her star of David pendant and told them to be careful while distributing the scriptures. She took a Tanakh, the Book of Life pamphlet and the contact card and wished them well.
The team was very grateful for the prayers as they sensed a wave of spiritual attack in the beginning, but it cleared away and they had a chance to have many conversations about Yeshua.
Report for Friday, September 19th, 2025
5 sets and 1 bible were given.
The team stayed in one centre on this day and gave, by the grace of God, five sets and one Bible. They spoke with a Gentile woman who was following rabbinical Judaism because she had left the Catholic religion. They spoke with her for about half an hour. As the woman spoke, they observed that she was saying things that were outside the Word of God. They told her that redemption could only be found in Yeshua/Jesus and that no work would justify man before God, and that men are not capable of making true and lasting peace. She was very confused and it was sad to hear that she really believed in her religion and was deceived but the team was reassured that God could do all things and that nothing was too hard for Him.
One set in Hebrew/French was given to a woman from Casablanca, Morocco. They offered her the antisemitism pamphlet and comfort card. She received also the whole set and they were able to share about their faith in Yeshua, His being the Messiah, and that He only could remove sins and make one tsadik. They handed her the leaflet of Isaiah 53 and opened the Tanakh, and showed her where she could read the whole passage. While they were sharing the word and the promises of God with her, they could see that her spirit was lifted up and she was more hopeful and grateful. She shared that she was able to read Hebrew, but preferred to have a set in Hebrew/French. She told them that she lived in Israel but now lived in Montreal with her son and her grandchildren. She said that her heart was in Israel and that she missed being there. She received a pin and the Beth Ariel card as they shared that their rabbi came from Casablanca also. They gave her a pin, and they hugged each other.
They met an elderly Jewish woman who was just about to leave. She shared that she no longer believed in God after her sister died of a terrible disease, and that she had suffered a great deal. She said that her sister was a good person and so she was very disturbed with her passing. They shared that “good” men and women die and how the goodness of God prevails, and how through His suffering, He understands man’s suffering and that is why God is continually calling men to repent. They shared that God is perfect, and all His ways are righteous and she nodded in agreement. They spoke of how God had provided Yeshua for the redemption of sins. One team member looked at her and said that she looked sad but that she can find joy, rest and peace in God’s love. She received the antisemitism pamphlet, the comfort card and the Beth Ariel card. They also gave her a pin which she was very happy to receive, and it was nice to see her smile.
They spoke with a Gentile man for about 20 minutes and were able to speak about sin, the fall of man, the prophecy in Genesis 3:15 and that salvation can only be found in Yeshua through grace by faith. He was very thankful for the conversation and wanted to know more about the Bible, the Word of God. They offered him a bible, but he told them that he had some bibles at home. He seemed to be searching for the truth. They gave him the Beth Ariel card and encouraged him to listen to the teachings and also invited him to come and visit their congregation.
One set in Hebrew/French was given to a man. When seeing the pamphlet on The Book of Life, he mentioned to them that he received it yesterday. They then asked him if he had received the gift, the Tanakh also and he replied that he had not. He was very happy to receive the set then and they also gave him a pin and the Beth Ariel card. While they were talking with him, they saw a woman waiting to talk to them.
When they finished that conversation, the woman came to them and shared that she would like to have a set for her Jewish friend. They gave her one set in Hebrew/English and said to her that she was a good friend for doing this. She responded by saying that her friend was good to her. They asked her if she would like to have a bible and she accepted and received one in English.
One set in Hebrew/English was given to a woman from Poland. They shared the gospel with her and some passages from the Scriptures. They spoke about Yom Kippur and the need for blood to atone for sins. She agreed and they shared how Yeshua was the final sacrifice for the redemption of sins. They shared passages from the book of Daniel, chapter 9 and in Isaiah 53, how the Messiah had to die and how He will come back to reign in Jerusalem. She was following the whole discussion and was very open to receive all the words that were shared with her.
They spoke with a woman who was in a hurry as she was going home to prepare for the Sabbath. She shared that it was a very special time for her because it is the only day she is able to see her children. She was very surprised to see them distributing the antisemitism pamphlets and responded that it was great. They shared with her how they believed that Yeshua was the Messiah, and she responded by saying that she follows the rabbis. They spoke about the difference between the biblical Judaism and the rabbinical Judaism. She said that regardless of their belief, she thought that it was great what they were doing.
One set in Hebrew/English was given to a man who had flowers in his hand and shared that these were for his daughter-in-law as he was probably going to his family for dinner for the Shabbat. He received all the literature and was very thankful and grateful to receive the set. He was very surprised that the Brit was offered, but he took everything. He thanked them and then had to leave for he was in a hurry.
It was another great outing with many conversations, sets and pamphlets that were distributed. Praise God!
