I love special events. They are like benchmarks of intense joy, and a vivid sign of God’s involvement in our lives, and His special gifts of encouragement. Faith’s Bat Mitzvah was a very special event for Hope of Israel Congregation, and a cause for joy and celebration, where her Jewish friends and family could hear the Good News from a Jewish frame of reference. Faith, who is 74 years of age accepted Jesus as her Messiah a little over a year ago. |

| Jewish girls are usually Bat Mitzvahed when they turn 12, but Faith did not have this opportunity to have the ceremony then, nevertheless God’s perfect timing to testify of His eternal love for Faith was at 74. | |||||||

When Faith came up to the bema (pulpit) to share her testimony, and I heard her say, “I am here to testify of God’s eternal faithfulness and His covenant of peace through my Messiah,” the Scripture from Isaiah 10:21 came to my mind: “A remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.” We can reach out to Jewish people with the love of Messiah with confidence because God promises are true. Paul reiterates this truth in Romans 11:5 that “there has also come to be at the present time a remnant according to God’s grace.” As Jewish people confess that Yeshua is the Messiah individually it is a foretaste of the glorious future when the nation of Israel will look upon the One who was pierced and receive Him as their Redeemer and King. |

What a joyous celebration it will be! Faith’s testimony is a vivid reminder and encouragement to our souls that God is gathering His people and our labor is not in vain in the Lord. Thank you for praying and reaching out with us to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Y |
