Jews for Jesus founder dies at age 78
Jews for Jesus founder dies at age 78

The founder of Jews for Jesus died Wednesday, leaving behind a pre-written message to members of the ministry.

In the letter posted on the Jews for Jesus website after his death, Moishe Rosen encouraged members of Jews for Jesus to stay with the ministry, especially as they “stand on the edge of a breakthrough in Jewish evangelism”.

“Just a little more. Just another push. Just another soul - and we will have reached critical mass where we begin generating that energy that the whole world might know the Lord,” wrote Rosen, who was 78 when he died Wednesday after a protracted battle with prostate cancer.

The son of Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, Rosen came to believe in Jesus at the age of 21 and felt a call to ministry shortly thereafter.

In September 1973, Rosen founded Jews for Jesus and, until 1996, he served as the organisation’s first executive director.

2. Delusion, not hate
Although, yes there is some self loathing there...

3. As Mark Twain wrote(paraphrased):
I never wish anyone dead,but sometimes I smile when I read an obituary.

4. Guess he never found Jesus
and died trying.

I see the crap all the time, and wondered what made people think Jews were for Jesus?

I am a lapsed Jew and dont buy that bunk at all.
