Peter Nasser - Jews for Jesus - "The Passover"
March 17, 2010 - Calvary Lutheran Church Peter Nasser of Jews for Jesus will speak at Calvary Lutheran Church on Wednesday March 17 at 7pm. Peter Nasser will show us what it would have been like to celebrate the Passover meal in Jesus’ day. This presentation will help us better appreciate Maundy Thursday. Raised in an Arab Christian home in Israel, Nasser knew about Jesus but was never a true believer. He came to know Jesus as his Savior after a series of personal trials. His wife, Yarden, is Jewish and grew up in the Ukraine. At age 15 she moved to Israel to attend religious school. She searched the Hebrew Scriptures and came to believe in Jesus as Messiah. Yarden and Peter met while working on a Jews for Jesus evangelistic campaign in Israel and were married in 2005. Peter says, 'It's God's plan. I love Jews and she loves Arabs and we have peace with each other.' They now serve together at the Jews for Jesus Tel Aviv branch.
Moishe Rosen founded Jews for Jesus in 1973 and revolutionized Jewish evangelism with his creative approach. 'Our model is the Book of Acts,' says Rosen. 'Jesus' disciples didn't linger in the Upper Room. They went down to the streets where the people were.' David Brickner, a fifthgeneration Jewish believer in Jesus, succeeded Rosen as Executive Director in 1996. Brickner has kept Jews for Jesus on the cutting edge as the ministry has expanded and established branches in eleven countries, including the United States, Brazil, Israel, Russia, France, and South Africa. “We exist to make the Messiahship of Jesus an unavoidable issue to our Jewish people worldwide,' Brickner states. 'There are still a few that haven't heard of us!' To Peter Nasser and other Jews for Jesus staff, the objective evidence of the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, and the transformation in their our own lives provide ample evidence that Jesus was who he claimed to be - the Jewish Messiah. Nasser will be happy to answer questions after the presentation. Call 712-239-1575 for more information. There is no admission charge.
