Thanksgiving Day

This was a Thanksgiving like no other for the Weinisch Family. First of all our son Jonathan was not with us.  We sure did miss him.  He was in Charleston, SC working at Starbucks and then joined friends for Turkey dinner.  Melissa was able to take a week off from her work and school in San Francisco to be with us.  What joy!

Here in NYC Jews for Jesus held an event.  Volunteers came alongside our staff to distribute Broadsides (Gospel tracts) at the Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade.  We had 9 teens who came from NJ, NY and Washington DC  to participate in this outreach.  We are encouraged by the servant attitudes of these young men and women.  Imagine being 16 years old and going to NYC to put on a Jews for Jesus T-shirt to hand out tracts in public view.  We were blessed to see them press in and stand for the name of Jesus. And by the way...more than 13,500 Gospel Tracts were distributed along the parade route!

Meanwhile, Shosh and a team of wonderful ladies were busy in the kitchen preparing a turkey dinner for 53!  Isn't it a blessing to serve the Lord with our gifts, abilities and availability?  God is faithful to put to good use whatever we offer.  "Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship."  Rom. 12:1

Maybe next year you will join us!  We praise God for bringing us to NYC where we can be used to the Glory of God.  Thank you for your prayers and support.  We count it a privilege to be your ambassadors here in NYC to the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel.
