Connections with Rich and Bobbi

We’re continuing our visit with Joe Jacowitz, who grew up as a Jew and was on his way to becoming a Rabbi. His life took a dramatic turn while he was in the Marines and he became a Christian! He instead felt called into the Christian ministry and became a pastor! This is where we’ll pick up his dramatic story...

We’re again continuing to visit with Joe Jacowitz. He’s been sharing how God changed his life as a Jew growing up in Brooklyn, NY, as he joined the Marines, moved up the ranks to become a sergeant, and then, surprisingly, found his true Messiah, Jesus, and became a totally “new creature in Christ!”  

Joe Jacowitz has been sharing his incredible story of how God changed his Jewish heart, as a Marine Sergeant, while being witnessed to by a private named Bob, who was sharing from the Scriptures that Jesus was the true Messiah. But Joe had his doubts because of his past, particularly after having persecuted a soldier in his platoon named Metcalf...

We’re continuing to hear from Joe Jacowitz as he shares his testimony of how the Lord changed his heart as a Jew to follow Jesus. We left off when Joe was in the marines, and a young Christian named Bob was showing him about the Messiah in Joe’s own Bible! But Joe wanted more proof and asked Bob to go with him to visit the Rabbi. So off they went....

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. We left off with Joe madly driving away from the base, desperately lamenting before the Lord! 

We’re continuing with the testimony of Joe Jacowitz as he shares his earth-shattering experience of how God revealed to him that Jesus is the Messiah and that eternal life comes only through Him! 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?! Joe Jacowitz continues his fascinating story of how God turned his spiritual journey upside down, leading him to become pastor of Christ Bible Church and founder and president of the Christian outreach, First Love Ministries!

Today we begin an extraordinary story of a young Brooklyn Jewish boy who grew up right next to the boardwalk on Coney Island, in New York, and how the Lord changed his heart to follow Yeshua (Jesus) as his Lord and Savior! He’s Pastor Joe Jacowitz, the president and founder of First Love Ministries, and the pastor of Christ Bible Church.

We’re continuing our visit with Brother Stephen who’s preparing to go into full-time ministry as a pastor. In our concluding talk with him, he shares about the powerful influence that his dad had on his life, and how it indirectly took him on an eye-opening mission trip to the Philippines!
