An answer he had never heard before

The evangelist asked the young man, named Hamilton, where he was going to spend eternity if he died that night. He gave an answer he had never heard before. Hamilton said he knew that God would send him to Hell for the things he had done in life.

The evangelist explained the gospel and asked him if he had ever asked Jesus to save his soul. He said he hadn't, but wanted to do so then and there. They prayed and Hamilton made a profession of faith in Jesus!

Where does Evil come from?



"The line of evil runs through the human heart."

Peace in the Middle East

When Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs can say to one another, I love you in Jesus' name, the world will see the powerful reconciliation work of the Good News. The only hope for peace for the Middle East is indeed Jesus.

Please pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for the salvation of the people of Israel.

Reconciliation

"Jesus' act on the cross has reconciled me to God, and as a follower of Christ I have a responsibility to reconcile with my enemies. Without reconciliation, Jesus' act on the cross is not complete in my life.

"In the Messiah there is room for all of us. He calls us to be one family. Reconciliation changes me. Reconciliation changes my enemy. Only then can we become the greatest witness, the living stones. And only then can we change those around us."

- Shadia Qubti, Musalaha
