“I met Cathy through a class at the local Jewish Community Center (JCC), where I volunteer. She told me she was a docent at a Judaica museum nearby. She had offered to give me a tour, so I went. Cathy kindly showed me around the museum and explained how the articles came from all over the world. It was a short but fascinating time to expand my knowledge of Jewish culture and customs.

“At the end, we sat down and talked about how she came to the city, her late husband, and her time as a college student. She expressed her dissatisfaction over how they pushed Christianity on her at college but boasted that she remained unshakingly Jewish. She asked about what I did, and I explained about FOI and what I do to support the Jewish community through volunteering and learning at the JCC. I saw her face cloud with distrust as she learned

I was a believer. I was a bit of a puzzle to her because I am a Christian who supports Israel and has actually done something about it.

In that gesture, I saw the walls of distrust crumble, and the worry started to melt away.

“In December, I called to see if I could stop by with a Hanukkah basket for her and her husband. She was happy to see me, and they appreciated the Hanukkah gift. We talked for a bit and had a good time. At the end, Cathy hugged me. In that gesture, I saw the walls of distrust crumble, and the worry started to melt away. I believe she is realizing I am an actual friend. I pray God calls out to her and her husband and, if He chooses, that I could be of service. Their appreciation for the gifts made me see how God can use simple steps to build bridges. Praise the Lord!”
