My story:

Thanks to you I’ll soon be finished reading through the Old Testament and I’m about to start the New Testament.

I love you guys with all my heart. So much light has come into my life thanks to you and I just want to hug you.

Keep up the good work, full force, and if there’s anything you need it would be my honor to help in any way I can. You are straight up people of truth.

(From a new believer, ultra-Orthodox background)

What to know

• Observing Jewish (oral) law is far more important to Orthodox Jews than to other Jews. In fact, nearly eight-in-ten Orthodox Jews (79%) say observing Jewish law is “essential” to what being Jewish means to them, compared with just 19% among Jews overall.
• Orthodox Jews primarily study The Talmud, not the Torah. The Talmud often contradicts the Bible, so reading the Bible can be quite a revelation.
• Jews who accept Yeshua as their Messiah are often outcast from their family. They need a lot of support as following Jesus means starting a whole new life from scratch.

How to Pray

• Pray for protection and strength for this man and for all ultra-Orthodox Jewish people who decide to follow Yeshua.
• Pray that they may be a light in the darkness around them.
• Pray that they would be able to meet other believers and enjoy fellowship together.
• Pray that all Israel, regardless of background, may be saved!
