Verse of the Day: Romans chapter 11:11. So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means. Rather, through their trespass, salvation has come to the Gentiles so as to make Israel jealous.

Prayer Request:
Praying that more Jews are brought to the knowledge of Jesus that their eyes would be opened to the truth about their Messiah.
Pray that more people around the world will be willing to be bold witnesses to Jewish people.
