during the summer internship. |
David is great
with directions and is always keeping us on track! |
A newspaper shows
the Jews for Jesus summer campaign in New York City. Many rabbis teach
their congregations about how to respond to Christian workers. We
often feel more tension on the street during this time. |
The interns chat
with Pastor Paul McCardle, pastor emeritus at All Nations Baptist
Church of Woodhaven. Pastor McCardle has ministered in New York City

plays hymns for Pastor Tim Pledger (6th Avenue Baptist Church, Brooklyn).
After this, we went door-knocking in some New York City housing projects
to invite people to come to services at 6th Avenue Baptist. |
This crumpled
Shalom Jewish tract that was tossed away in the garbage illustrates
the unfortunate fate of many of the tracts given to the Orthodox. |
At Kosher Gym
in Midwood, Brooklyn, we met an Orthodox man (shortly after this picture
was taken) who told Jonathan that if we didn't get out of the area,
he would "do to us what Hitler did to his grandfather."
We didn't leave. |
Russian tracts,
Jewish tracts, and Russian Jewish tracts are tossed out in the garbage
in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. Fortunately, many of our tracts were
taken that day and read! |

likes to eat (notice that he already has a full plate)!

Jonathan observes
some Jewish Russian men playing chess in a park in Forest Hills, Queens.
Before this picture was taken, an Orthodox woman threatened us if
we didn't stop handing out tracts and talking to people. Nevertheless,
we stood our ground and witnessed for the Lord. |

| Dave
has one of the longest conversations with an Orthodox man this summer.
This event occurred in the Diamond District (Manhattan). Dave was
trying to show him that blood is needed for atonement (Lev. 17:11). |
St. Patrick's
Cathedral (Midtown Manhattan) is the center for Catholic teaching
in New York City. We contend with false religions and cults constantly
as we try to reach the people with the true Gospel of peace. |
