From the Coordinator
WELCOME TO JERUSALEM!As your International Coordinator, it is my joy and honor to welcome you to Jerusalem and to the meeting of the 10th International Conference of the Lausanne Consultation on Jewish Evangelism (LCJE). We are delighted that you are here as a participant, member, or guest in what we hope will be an historic conference for our network held in Eretz Yisrael (the Land of Israel) in the City of the Great King — Jerusalem!
As you look through the activities planned for each day, please take a few minutes to pray for the speakers and for all of the daily logistics of the conference. I would also like to encourage as much participation as pos-sible in our morning prayer sessions led by Mark and Robyn Warren. As many of you know, there is opposition to the conference itself by those who oppose Jewish evangelism. We want to remember to pray for those who oppose us, that the Lord would open their eyes and hearts to the truth of the Gospel, even as He did for the Apostle Paul.
Besides those who are fully registered at the Hotel Yehuda, we will have a number of Day Attendees coming to the conference who are staying in the area. These include many Israeli believers, both Hebrew and Russian speakers, as well as other guests who will be joining us on various days. Many of these are not members of LCJE. Please welcome them in the gracious spirit of our wonderful network and make them feel at home within our ranks. My hope is that many will want to join LCJE as a result of their experience with us here in Jerusalem!
As you can imagine, there are many additional side expenses associated with putting on an international conference such as this. We will be taking at least one offering for LCJE during the conference to help defray some of these expenses. Please consider how you can help.
I have had a tremendous team working with me to help make this con-ference possible and am so thankful to each one of them. First and foremost, I express my very deep thanks to our Country Host and Israel Area Coordinator, David Zadok, his executive assistant, Yulia Zlatkov, and our LCJE Secretary, Christine Fulcrod, as well as to the rest of our conference preparation committee for all of their hard work, insights and assistance on so many levels: Alec Goldberg, Efraim and Jeannie Goldstein, Ann Hilsden and Dan Sered. A special thanks also to Tuvya Zaretsky, Mitch Glaser, Susan Perlman, Gary Hedrick and to all of our speakers, volunteers and other helpers. I am so very grateful for all of your support in so many ways. I also want to thank Wayne and Ann Hilsden for facilitating use of the Pavilion for our Thursday night meeting, to the Hotel Yehuda staff, and to David Katz of Sar-El Tours for his assistance in conference preparation.
Praying the Lord’s richest blessing upon our conference, and in our sure hope for the coming salvation of Israel.
