Inna and her family are refugees from Ukraine. We met at a Jewish organization in Warsaw, where Inna was expecting a permit for aliyah (the term used for Jewish people seeking citizenship in Israel). Unfortunately, her family was denied because of a mistake on the application.
Inna’s Jewish background was mostly secular, but recently she has been thinking more about God, and finding comfort in Siddur (the Jewish prayer book). Her husband has cancer, and it’s often in the midst of suffering and uncertainty that people turn to God. Inna was ready and willing to hear about Yeshua (Jesus). She asked some good questions and listened as I answered. Then it was my turn to ask a question: “Have you ever asked God to forgive your sins?”
Inna listened as I explained sin and the need for repentance, how Yeshua is the door to a relationship with God, and how He will come into our hearts if we want to receive Him. When I offered to pray with her to repent and receive Jesus, she agreed, and we prayed. I also prayed for Inna’s husband, and for her family to solve the aliyah problem. We are so grateful for your partnership with Jews for Jesus that helps us introduce Jewish people like Inna to Messiah Jesus!
