How did you get to where you are today?
by studying the Jewish people with a deep desire to learn from and support them and seeking to create relationships with them.

What is your “testimony”?
After my first visit to Israel in 2014, my life was forever changed. My eyes were fully opened to the biggest miracle of modern humanity, the Jewish people living and thriving in modern Israel…proof of God’s promises to His people. From my biblical perspective, it is my obligation and desire to support Jewish people and to learn from them. Because of the Jews, my faith in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob has been enriched so deeply, that words inadequately express my deep appreciation and gratitude.

What do you think God is doing with regard to Jewish-Christian relations?
I truly believe that God is restoring His Kingdom, especially through Jewish-Christian relations. It is an incredible time to be alive!
