GUEST SPEACKER SAM NADLER
On July 15 we had the privilege to have as a quest speaker Sam Nadler a Jewish believer in Yeshua who has a passion to communicate the Good News to his people, and to see discipleship established in Jewish communities around the world. Raised in New York City according to Jewish tradition, Sam hungered for what the Messiah of Israel alone can give: atonement and new life. After finding Yeshua as his Messiah, Sam has been in full-time service for Him since the early 70’s. He is the congregational leader of Hope of Israel, Charlotte NC. Sam wrote many insightful books which can be purchased from his web site — you can come in at Ben David and browse through some of them.

PURIM
The holiday of Purim is a reminder of the powerful deliverance of God for His chosen people. The story of Purim is a a refreshing reminder in light of recent international events. We celebrated Purim on March 11 with another world premiere play written, cast, and directed by our own Vivian Gall, booed the name of Haman, the enemy of the Jews, and cheered for Mordechai!
