| 7/4/26 | ![]() Yosef Koelner Interview | Yosef was raised in an Orthodox Jewish home, then at fourteen years old he was placed in the Foster Care system when his parents passed away. Yosef attended Illinois State University. He remembers hearing the rock song “Jesus Christ Superstar” and it made an impression on him. A representative of Campus Crusade for Christ came to his dormitory and seeds were sewn. There came a time when God spoke to him and told him about Yeshua. He was challenged to read the New Testament. The next morning there was a box of free books near the mailbox. He began reading “Good News for Modern Man” and it all started to make sense. He met a Methodist minister and began going to his church. Then at 20 years old he became the youth director there. Yosef still didn’t know that there were other Jewish believers.

He lived in Israel for a while and teaches Yeshiva courses online. | — | ||||||
| 6/27/26 | ![]() Gaby Hall Interview | Born and raised in Germany, Gabriela's Jewish heritage has profoundly shaped her life. Her father, much older than her mother, was already 25 years old when World War II began. He experienced firsthand the devastation that unfolded as the Nazis invaded what is now Ukraine, where many of the women in his family perished in the Holocaust. Those experiences left a lasting legacy, giving Gabriela a deep appreciation for her Jewish roots and a lifelong desire to understand God's unfolding plan for His people.Although she grew up knowing she was Jewish, it wasn't until later in life that she began searching Scripture to understand how her heritage fit into God's redemptive story. At the age of 60, while reading Isaiah 53, everything came together. The promised Messiah she had been searching for was revealed in Yeshua (Jesus), transforming not only her understanding of Scripture but her life. Today, Gabriela writes and teaches to help others discover the richness of the Bible through its Jewish foundation, revealing the beauty of God's promises fulfilled from Genesis to Revelation. | — | ||||||

| 2/28/26 | ![]() Lisa Hellermann Interview | Lisa Hellermann grew up in a Jewish family. After completing college, she worked in Manhattan on her way to a successful future. At this time she started to have questions about God and the meaning of life. Her search for truth offered absolutely nothing. One day commuting back from work on the Long Island Railroad, Lisa prayed to God and said, “God if you are real I want to see you,” Then she fell asleep on the train and had a very vivid dream of Jesus. She felt awake in this dream as if she were truly seeing Him and she was scared, yet curious. He drew her to Himself by His power as she saw Him from a distance. He then put His hands on top of hers and said, “don’t be afraid, it is Me and I’ll be with you always.” Lisa woke up changed, but not knowing what happened as she thought why would she see Jesus since she is Jewish and never thought of Him before. Since that visitation in response to her prayer, God placed people in her path to invite her to church, give her the Bible and get her into fellowship. Over time Lisa understood the gospel message of salvation and went on to tell the good news to her family who mostly came to know Yeshua as their Messiah. She is now an ordained minister and published prophetic words at lisahellermann.com | — | ||||||
