Jews for Jesus

program set Sept. 18

Jews for Jesus, a group of traveling musical missionaries, will present a free program of music, drama and testimony at 7 p.m. Sept. 18 in Mount Pleasant United Methodist Church at 3050 E. Davis Drive.

Jews for Jesus developed Jewish gospel music more than three decades ago. They wanted music with a harmony and rhythm that blended their Jewishness with a message proclaiming Jesus as Messiah.

David Brickner, a fifth-generation Jewish believer in Jesus, serves as executive director. Brickner has kept Jews for Jesus on the cutting edge as the ministry has expanded and established branches in 11 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!”

Staff members write and illustrate hand-lettered pamphlets with plenty of humor in an informal, conversational tone. They call these gospel tracts “broadsides,” and hand out more than 8 million a year. The organization also publishes a number of evangelistic books as well as ISSUES, an eight-page publication for Jewish seekers.
