Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem

My husband is a Gideon. I used to be a member of the Auxiliary, but no longer am eligible as I am an ordained minister with my church. As you know the Gideons distribute Bibles into hotels, motels, schools, military induction centers, and many other places. The women, the "Auxiliary," have their own places to distribute God's Word. One of those places is at Nurses' conventions. Several years ago I "worked" a Nurses' convention in Atlanta. Our booth was at a strategic location so I got to speak to almost every nurse who came into the exhibit hall. Many, if not all of the nurses, took the New Testament that I offered to them.

One woman, that I remember so well, stopped at the booth out of curiousity just to see what I was giving away. I told her who I was and who I was representing. I offered her a New Testament. She said, no, that she was Jewish and did not read the New Testament. I told her that I understood and that while I knew that she did not read the New Testament I worshipped the same God that she did. She agreed that, indeed, we did. I suggested that although she might not "need" the New Testament, she might have a patient that would like to have a copy and that it would be okay for her to give it away.

And with that, this precious Jewish nurse reached out and into her hand, I placed the story of the greatest Man who every lived: Jesus, the Messiah, Yeshua ha Mechia!
I planted, someone else watered, and He gave the harvest. What an honor to give the story of Jesus to a Jew!
