Summer Campaign 2013


Here is our team at Times Square. Stewart was speaking at a church and missed the photo shoot. As I write we are in the 4th and final week of Campaign. To date we have handed out 30,000 broadsides and 72 Jewish people has asked for more information about Jesus. Please keep us in prayer this week. We want to end strong!  Pray for Alex, Jill, Cory and Ayn.  They have heard the Gospel but not yet believed.

This is Deborah.  She recently prayed with Shoshannah to receive Jesus.  What joy!  Deborah and Shosh have been meeting weekly for Bible study.  This is a great answer to prayer.  Thank you for praying that we bear fruit for the kingdom of God.  We are grateful.

Summer Fruit
Another Jewish ministry in Queens left leaflets on the doors of apartments in Queens a few weeks ago.  A Jewish woman, Julia found a leaflet on her door and decided to go on the Jews for Jesus website.  She had heard of Jews for Jesus for some time but had never connected with us.  Julia left her contact information on our website and Stewart called her.  During their first phone conversation Stewart explained the Gospel clearly.  Julia responded by receiving Jesus as her Messiah.  We praise God for how He uses various members of His Church to bring people to salvation.

of Jesus an unavoidable issue to 

our Jewish people Worldwide."

      Jonathan lives with us in NYC and works as a professional dog-walker.  He had to be bonded and insured as he goes into apartments when people are at work.  Jon enjoys this job as he walks about 6 hours a day.  And, he likes dogs. Jon has a college education but has not been able to figure out what to do with his life. He has considered going to grad school but doesn't want to do that until he figures out what he wants to pursue as a career.  Jon would not call himself a believer in Jesus.  He has struggled for many years trying to experience God and now says he doesn't know if God exist.  Please pray for Jonathan to experience God.  We are confident God has a plan for Jonathan that is good.

Here we are showing off the Tee-shirt Melissa had made for Stewart
     Most of you may know our daughter Melissa is a Youth Leader at Jews for Jesus on the West Coast.  She lives and serves works on staff with Jews for Jesus in San Francisco while attending college at San Francisco State.  All camp staff have "Camp Names".  Melissa has held the name, "Streetlight" for quite a few years.  Probably because Melissa lights up a room with her winsome smile and energetic personality.  When we first joined the staff of Jews for Jesus we were often referred to as "Streetlight's parents".  The name "Papa Streetlight" evolved from that.  This year as a Fathers Day gift Melissa had this shirt made for Stewart.

     Stewart and I are enjoying good health.  We are always on a diet and still working out.  In fact while I am writing this blog, Stewart is at the gym.  If you have heard about Citibike.com you know that we have great access to using bikes here in the Big Apple. We joined Citibike and are enjoying using it for general transportation. 

Pray for our safety as we commute.

                                                                                              Our Parents

     Both of our Moms turned 80 this year.  My mom, Lois and her husband Ed are 
both experiencing a fair amount of health problems.  They have heard the Gospel but not believed.  My Dad, Jerry died two years ago and that was a hard loss as my father did not believe in God.

     Stewart's Dad died almost 3o years ago.  His mother, Rita lives nearby in New Jersey.  This past weekend we had a birthday party for her. Here is Rita with her 3 boys. Philip, Stewart & Gary. None of Stewart's family believe in the Lord.

     Our Summer Witnessing Campaign began today here at the NYC Branch of Jews for Jesus.  Our theme this year is: "The Time is Now".  

“In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you.”  Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation."       
2 Corin. 6:2


     Stewart and I are "Team Weinisch".  We are handling the follow-up of those people our campaigners meet on the streets.  Please pray for us to reach those Jewish people God is calling to Himself.  

     Thank you for continuing to pray for and support the ministry God has entrusted to us among our Jewish people.  You are a blessing to us!
