Julia Fisher talks to Yoyakim Figueras – My guest today was brought up as an Israeli although he is not Jewish. His name is Yoyakim Figueras and today he lives in Arad, a town in the Negev in southern Israel, with his wife and their six children where Yoyakim is the pastor of a Messianic congregation. In this programme, the first of three that feature Yoyakim’s story, we hear about his unusual family background.
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.
