Julia Fisher talks to Yoel Ben David, a missionary with Jews for Jesus based in Israel. I met him in Tel Aviv recently to find out what motivates him to do this difficult work because after all, not many Jewish people are sympathetic to the person of Jesus, especially in Israel. So, I asked him to explain why he believes the work he does is so important.
Our aim is to build bridges… To build bridges of understanding and support, in a spirit of reconciliation, between believers (both Jewish and Arab) in the Holy Land (Israel and the Palestinian Areas) and Christians worldwide.
