In 1995, we began a new phase of our ministry, outreach to some of the
77,000 Russian-speaking Jewish refugees who moved into Philadelphia. We
have English classes for them, Bible studies, Jewish Holiday services,
social events (concerts, picnics, dinners, retreats), and friendship
development. Most American Jews are closed to hearing about Jesus.
However, many of the Jewish immigrants and refugees, are open and willing to
examine the evidence for Jesus and the God of the Bible. The Scriptures
tell us in Romans 10:17 that "Faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the
word of Christ." Over the last four years, forty Jewish people have
professed faith in the Lord.
