Hi friends! I am profoundly grateful to be part of the team at ONE FOR ISRAEL! I learned to appreciate the ministry when I first heard of them about 10-12 years ago. I got excited about the treasure trove of resources offered, the many outreaches aimed at reaching Jews and Arabs in Israel with the Gospel of Yeshua (Jesus), and the incredible training done with pastors to effectively disciple believers in Israel. I jumped online to learn all I could about Israel and the Jewish people of today, and I eventually began taking online classes through Israel College of the Bible (a sister ministry of OFI). Learning Scripture and its principles from a Jewish perspective made a huge difference in examining and understanding the Jewish roots of our Christian faith.

Later, I began leading tours to Israel, coordinated through ONE FOR ISRAEL. It became a great partnership and recently I was invited to join the ministry to coordinate tours for them! It is a wonderful blessing!

Along the way, God has granted the blessed privilege of meeting tour guests from all over the US and literally around the world! Some of them have connections with OFI prior to their tour, while others are coming to know OFI for the first time. They are amazed by the impact OFI has in the land of Israel.

If you are familiar with ONE FOR ISRAEL, perhaps you are aware of the huge library of testimonies from Jewish people who have met the Messiah. (In fact, the site is called I Met Messiah.) Many of the testimonies are astounding accounts of how Jesus met them in the most miraculous ways. There is also a growing collection of testimonies from Arabs who have also met Messiah!

More recently, OFI began recording testimonies of those who either support ONE FOR ISRAEL financially or in prayer, or who have been otherwise greatly impacted by the ministry. That series is called Why I am One for Israel

A man named Matt was on a recent tour and is featured in a Why I am One for Israel video. One of the most gentle, humble men I have ever met, Matt is sold out on Israel and Israel’s Messiah! His testimony is powerful and his life is a witness to the grace of God. For the remainder of this week I will share testimonies from both sites. I pray you are blessed as you hear the testimonies of God’s grace in the lives of Jews, Arabs, and even those who love the ministry of ONE FOR ISRAEL.

Matt is ONE FOR ISRAEL, and here is his story…
