Week two

Boker tov (Good morning)!
I have been wish washy this past week, and a humbly apologize. I will give the highlights of what happened.
This week started off with a wonderful medical ministry at Brighton Beach, a predominantly Russian part of Brooklyn (in fact it is Called маленькой Одессе "Little Odessa"). We met a wonderful man Larry, and his wife Ildiko. Larry was as he put it, a cultural Jew. He loved his people, his culture, but was not religious. His wife was open, but he was not. We had a good interaction with him, and had wonderful laughs with him. His wife took a book, but like she said "Larry is hard headed", so we are praying for for Ildiko that she will not only understand what she reads, and accepts it as truth, but that she can get through her husband.
Tuesday was great. We went to Manhattan (I think it was at the 72nd subway station), we walked around and handed out tracts, and talked with people. Myrna took a tract from me, studied it for a good 10 minutes, walked back and conversed with me for another 10 minutes, I was able to tell her about my orthodox roots, my Yeshiva studies, and how I came to know Messiah. She was very receptive, and then my good friend "Uncle" Israel Cohen (a 71 year old whom you would swear was only 20 something of his energy, and mannerisms, he's just an awesome man) came and joined in, and we talked another 10 minutes, and took almost every piece literature we could offer her. Please pray for her, that her hunger will bring her to Yeshua.
Today we are going to Brighton Beach, and ministering there. Tomorrow we are handing out Challot (which is the plural of Challah, the traditional bread of Shabbat) to the 30 or so Jewish people who gave their lives over to Yeshua this past 2 weeks.
This might be the last entry from NYC, I bid you all Shalom, and God bless!
Michael
