An afternnon in The Diamond District

This past Wednesday, Stewart and I handed out broadsides in the Diamond District.  This is one long block on 47th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues in Midtown Manhattan.  The block is lined with high end jewelry stores owned and operated by religious Jews.  There is a constant  flurry of activity.  Men transacting business on the street with a lot of handshaking going on.  I (Shosh) admit to being nervous as we walked to the location. We were a team of four wearing Jews for Jesus garb.  No mistake about who we were!  Just walking the street caused a response.  People looked at me chin down, eyes up to read the words printed on my jacket and tract bag:  Jews for Jesus.  I heard a few mutter as they passed me, "Jews for Jesus", with disgust.  Most people would not take our broadsides (tracts) but I did manage to give out 150 pieces of literature titled:  "Jesus made me Kosher"  Check out this JFJ Animated Version of "Jesus Made Me Kosher"   Please pray for those we spoke with, gave broadsides too, and who saw the name of Jesus and muttered.

Praising God for you.
