We spoke out against anti-Semitism and hatred against Israel. I led in the fight that called for strong action—not merely supportive words. Many Jews, weary of hate and centuries of “Christian anti-Semitism” applauded. But I was warned not to have visible fellowship with Messianic Jews or the Jewish leadership would reject me.
I know what it was to stand alone (over 35 years ago) when I called for action—not words—in support of Jews and Israel when hate was aimed their way. Now I sense God telling me again “you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this.”
We have reached thousands of lives in many journeys to Argentina....
Gone were 20 years of human hopes, desires and plans. Perhaps a future in construction. Or law enforcement. Or a shot at politics. It all changed when God let me see His heart for people. The pull for reputation and riches was replaced by “Here am I, Lord. Send me.”
It is often when the storms hit that the fish bite best.
There are “Alba’s” all over the world. I want to reach all I can while I can. So much impact on this journey! I left a big part of my heart with them.
I embraced the Jewish believers and declared that I wish every Jew and Gentile had a relationship with the Messiah. Yes, we paid a price in less “popularity” in Jewish/Christian dialogues. But the ministry continued with unconditional love for all people.
The years have flown by but the message hasn’t changed. The banner—fidelity to Jesus Christ—yet waves over this ministry. The big difference over nearly 40 years has been that God’s dependability worked in us reliability that has given us credibility.
Across the world—or across the street—the only investment that has “forever” attached to it are the lives and souls of men, women, lads and lassies. And we get to reach, teach and train them because of faithful supporters who reach out to us with your prayers and support.
Jews called me “national treasure,” “champion,” “soul-snatcher,” “dangerous,” etc. But they never called me “hypocrite,” “liar” or “deceiver.” Jesus—Yeshuah—was always out front. He still is.
