Kathy grew up in a Roman Catholic household. Although she heard about God and Jesus, she had no idea if they were real.
That was about to change. On May 15th, 1979, her father suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. He was only 51 years old, and she was just 23. Devastated by his death, she began to search for God with all her heart, and she found Him.
Kathy gave her life to Jesus on March 31st, 1980, which happened to be the eve of Passover! Fast forward two years, and she was attending a Pentecostal church where a pastor from Israel came to speak.
His message was âOur Debt to the Jew.â While he was speaking, the power of the Holy Spirit came upon her, and she heard the Lord say to her, âI have called you to the Jew first.â At that very moment, Yeshua birthed a love for His people in her.
Since then, He has opened many effectual doors for Kathy to witness to Jewish people.
She visited Israel in 1988 and hopes to go back again one day. Kathy can truly testify that if you bless the Jew, you will be blessed.

Cathy fell in love with Yeshua as a young child and was raised in the Mormon faith. She always felt drawn to the Old Testament. As a child, she read itover and over multiple times, so in her mind, she felt like she was camping with the Israelites as they were traveling through the desert, so she just felt a realconnection to the Jewish people her whole life.
After a trip to Israel, sherealized that Yeshua was Jewish, and that she is Jewish in her heart. Cathy realizedthat Yeshua died for the whole world, and as a believer, if she really wanted to become Christ-like and become more like Yeshua, she needed to celebrate the holidays that Yeshua celebrated, speak the language that Yeshua spoke,and live the lifestyle that Yeshua lived.Cathy currently lives in Akron Ohio, works as a hospice chaplain and attends a Messianic synagogue in Cleveland Ohio.

Austin was raised within the Messianic movement in Southern California. His parents became believers in Yeshua soon after they got married, about ten years before they had Austin. He didnât come to faith immediately, but the one defining aspect that made him come to faith and accept Yeshua was thinking about what is going to happen to him after he dies? That just got him to investigate the Scriptures and investigate the story of Yeshua and the Gospel. He made the decision when he was about 10 or 11 years old, and the rest is history.

How did I learn about Yeshua? In todayâs broadcast I share my testimony and some original music.
I grew up in a Jewish home in Richmond, VA and studied Hebrew for five years. I was always drawn to astrology and the occult. Even after singing Handelâs Messiah with the Richmond Symphony Chorus, I had no idea what it was all about as I had never read Isaiah 9. While attending college in Richmond, I was handed a tract that said âJews for Jesus,â but I was scared and shocked to even look at it, and I threw it in the trash. A few years later here in Rochester, I met a lady who shared the gospel with me and I got up enough courage to look in a New Testament for the first time. I was delightfully surprised to find out that it had many references to King David and it was not anti-Semitic. I discovered that Yeshua said in Matthew 5:17 that He came to fulfill the law and not to change it and I learned that the last supper was a passover Seder and that the disciples were Jewish. I renounced and repented from participation with the occult and I accepted Yeshua into my heart in 1976. I have never looked back.
