Julia Fisher talks to Israel Pochtar – Recently I visited Ashdod, a port city situated between Gaza and Tel Aviv, to meet Israel Pochtar, the pastor of a fast growing Messianic congregation there. He came to Israel from the Crimea, and in this programme he starts by describing a little about his early life and why he decided to leave his homeland.
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.
