A Christmas That Will Echo in Eternity
Words of Thanks from our Jerusalem Evangelism

This Christmas season, we were blessed to host a life-changing evangelism event in Jerusalem, welcoming 540 non-believers to experience the true meaning of Yeshua’s birth. It was an extraordinary day filled with hope, transformation, and the tangible presence of God—a day that will echo in eternity through the hearts that were forever changed.

At the heart of the event was a powerful screening of the film “The Real Meaning of Christmas,” a riveting depiction of Yeshua’s birth over 2,000 years ago. For many attendees, it was a story they had heard countless times but never truly understood. The film brought the narrative to life in a way that deeply touched hearts, leaving many in tears as they saw the depth of God’s love for humanity.

Stories of Transformation

The event was further enriched by the heartfelt testimonies of two former Muslims—one from Syria and another from Iran. Both shared how they had been taught from childhood to hate Israel and its people, yet their encounters with God radically transformed their hearts.

One man recounted how his faith led him to not only embrace love for Israel but also marry a Jewish woman. Another shared the miraculous journey of being freed from hatred and finding a deep, God-given love for the Jewish people. These stories of reconciliation and redemption moved every single person in the room, demonstrating the power of God’s love to heal even the deepest divisions.

A Day to Remember

The event concluded with pastor Israel’s anointed prayer that deeply touched many, bringing healing, peace, and joy. The prayer, combined with a unique biblical tour of Old Jerusalem, allowed participants to see the Bible come alive. Walking through the ancient streets where Yeshua once walked brought a sense of awe and wonder, making the event truly unforgettable.

Testimonies from the Heart

The impact of the day was evident in the testimonies of those who attended:

Olga shared:
“I was so grateful for everything. The atmosphere was beautiful, and the film taught me so many new things. I even cried and felt like a heavy stone had fallen from my soul. After the prayer, my back pain disappeared, and I felt better inside and out.”

Lilia said:
“I burst into tears during the film. It touched me deeply and brought healing to my heart. I’m grateful for this unforgettable experience.”

Natalia expressed her gratitude, saying:
“Thank you for the gift of joy and celebration. The film and the warm atmosphere will stay with me forever. It truly felt like a Christmas miracle.”

Dasha shared:
“My family and I loved the excursion and the film. It brought the story of Mary and Joseph to life in a way we’d never seen before. The testimony of the Syrian man who found love for Israel inspired us all. My daughter Maria was moved to tears!” 

Tanya and Dima reflected:
“The film gave us a fresh perspective on the Bible, and the testimony of the Iranian man left us in awe. It’s a miracle to see how faith in God can transform hatred into love. We are forever grateful for this experience.” 

A Celebration of God’s Love

This Christmas evangelism event in Jerusalem was a powerful reminder of the beauty of the Gospel and the transformative power of God’s love. Through the film, testimonies, and biblical tour, hearts were opened, lives were touched, and seeds of faith were planted.  

As we reflect on this special day, we are reminded of the angel’s proclamation:

Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.

Luke 2:10-11

This Christmas, we celebrated the joy of Yeshua’s birth and the hope He brings to all people. Thank YOU for praying and supporting this event. Together, we are sharing the Good News of Yeshua with the people of Israel, bringing God’s light to His nation.
