Reaching Israelis Through Backpacker Ministry

We have so many different types of Israelis coming through our ministry to backpackers in Argentina. Our dedicated staff there reported on some special conversations that took place recently. Adi* is very religious. She didn’t grow up in a religious home, but she chose to become Orthodox when she graduated from high school. Yaniv* on the other hand isn’t religious at all. He grew up learning all the stories in the Old Testament, but to him, they are just myths passed down for generations. Even though Israelis can be so different, there’s one thing that most seem to have in common and that’s their search for truth. Yaniv was so curious about Jesus that he stayed up late one night talking with our staff member for over two hours about God, the Gospel, and end-time prophecy. Adi also was intrigued; she was so thirsty to know more that after hearing the Gospel, the next day she started inquiring about the Holy Spirit.
