Amir (Israel)

Meet Amir

Amir grew up in a Jewish home in Israel. His parents divorced and he was placed in foster care. He describes being hopeless and suicidal. Something stopped him from taking his life. The same week he heard Christian prayers in his friend’s home. He wasn’t happy to hear the name of Jesus. But he wrote a note and asked God to show him who this Jesus was. Then Amir watched a film that was released about the life of Jesus. He got to see the prophesies of the Old Testament fulfilled in Jesus Christ. He asked Jesus to be his Messiah. Amir now knows why God didn’t allow him to kill himself that day. He knows that Israel’s only hope is Jesus Christ.

Marty (USA)

Meet Marty

Marty grew up in the Jewish faith and was very aware of the division and separation between Jews and Gentiles. He talks about a blossoming career in showbusiness. His music partner became a Born-again Christian and started telling Marty about Jesus. He got angry and resentful.

He reached the point where he surrendered his life and placed his faith in Jesus for the removal of his sins. Marty talks about the privilege of knowing Jesus personally, and how Jesus has removed pride and selfishness from his life.

Iranian Jewish Man (Iran)

This Iranian Jewish man first heard Jesus talked about when he went to the US. At the time he was offended but intrigued by people’s faith in Jesus. While reading the Jewish scriptures, God used Isaiah chapter 53 to open his heart that Jesus is the Messiah, the Lamb who was slain for the sins of the world. It brought to mind an experience in his youth where a Rabbi had slaughtered a lamb for the sins of his family. He accepted Jesus as the Messiah but shares how he didn’t tell his family. God used a terrible accident involving his son, to finally openly share his faith in Jesus Christ. He is very grateful to God for saving his son’s life.
