Each year tens of thousands of Israelis complete their military service and travel to remote destinations like New Delhi and Machu Piccu. We have discovered that they are some of the most open Jewish people we meet. That’s why each year we send Massah (“journey” in Hebrew) teams from Israel to these places to backpack with them and share the good news of Yeshua with them. These journeys combine personal discipleship with evangelistic training and opportunities. So, thank you for helping to make Massah possible! Here are some glimpses of this year’s trip to Peru to encourage you.

Lucy: “We met Roni on a walking tour in Lima. She had read some of the New Testament because certain paintings she saw in her art history course had made her curious. She was especially intrigued by Peter’s interactions with religious leaders in the book of Acts. This led to a great discussion about how Jesus is different from other religious leaders.”

Anna Beth: “After meeting Liel at our hostel, I joined her for a walking tour. We discovered that she grew up just a few minutes from me in Atlanta before she made aliyah (moved to Israel)! We had several good conversations about God, faith/religion, Messiah, etc. It turns out that Roni (previously mentioned) had also lived close to me in Atlanta. After inviting them both on a trek, we discovered they knew each other in secondary school! Olam katan (small world)!!

“We also had great conversations with Moti and Ari at our hostel. Ari had never heard about Jesus before and didn’t want the conversation to end! Please pray for them to remain curious and open to who Jesus really is!”
