The Action Report October 2010 October 1, 2010 My precious friend, It was a Jew named Abe Schneider who planted in me a passion for intimacy with God. And now around 50 years later, this passion is still what drives my life and focuses my teachings. Fall in love - deeply in love - with Jesus, and anything can happen. For when we are in love with our Lord, we will want to introduce Him to everyone. Oh how Abe touched my life! A woman on his bakery route led him to his Messiah. Abe's brothers, with the mother's blessing, drove from Abe spent entire nights alone in prayer and worship. And at each funeral service he performed he would say, "I'm jealous because he (the person who died) is with Jesus and I'm still here." And we knew that he meant it! I never met anyone who loved the Savior like this humble Jew. He brought others to Christ everywhere and had me memorize Isaiah 53. His wife remarried multiple times but knew no peace. As she lay dying of cancer, Abe led Ida to the Messiah. And the mother who slapped him! I met her at a Christian rally. Abe had won her to the Lord and her face was shining. Abe's last days were spent praying with other seeking souls in a hospital where he had gone with chest pains. They found his body in the corridor after he had checked himself out. Finally Abe was with the Lord he adored. I use his example often. With pastors and leaders who come to me for mentoring. With Jews who must pay a price to love Yeshuah in the face of opposition. With young "Joshuas" who need a true example of choosing Christ above anything or anyone. Your prayers and gifts keep us in action. May the Lord use you this month to help supply our many needs. And as you help Shalom, may God bless you in return. Yours to reach other "Abe Schneiders", Frank Eiklor Related Articles · More Articles |
