Jewish Encounter

We had dinner with another VMS family last weekend and heard about a church that some of the volunteers and missionaries at JAARS go to. It is called Hope of Israel and it is a Messianic Jew church. Simply put, they are Jews who believe Jesus is the Messiah. What made us want to go was not only what was spoken of it but also what we found on their website. Throughout, Dana and I were drawn to their evidential reverence for God. So, we went. And we absolutely loved it. The worship style was traditional Jewish and it was wonderful. If you live in Charlotte or ever come to visit, I STRONGLY suggest you paying this congregation a visit. You WILL encounter the living God!

Just to clarify why we went to Hope of Israel. Living in Waxhaw makes our drive to Hickory Grove time out at about 1:20 or so. We decided to go to HGBC every other Sunday instead of doing that much traveling while we’re in training. To complement that schedule of going to our home church, we decided to look for another one to go to on at least the other ‘off’ weeks. A great thing about that is Hope of Israel meets on Saturday, thus giving us the opportunity to go to both on the same weekend if we so choose!
