Connections with Rich and Bobbi

We’re continuing with our visit with Joe Jacowitz as he shares his compelling  testimony of how a Jewish boy from Brooklyn joined the Marines and, through various circumstances, found himself in a quandary regarding his relationship with God.

Joe, who grew up as a Jew, is currently the pastor of Christ Bible Church and president of First Love Ministries.

So how does the Lord grab a hold of the attention of an intense young Jewish Marine who’s been studying to become a Rabbi, and shake up his faith with one question?!

In our concluding talk with Hans Shapp, he shares more about his adventures as he goes across the highways and byways of life in different lands to share the Gospel wherever he can- even back to those discos he once frequented!

We’ve been visiting with Hans Shapp, who’s been sharing with us how he came out of East Germany during a time when barriers of barbed wire and concrete walls blocked off the West, to what he thought was freedom. But it wasn’t until he was introduced to Jesus that his life really changed-including becoming a smuggler!
