Julia Fisher talks to Alison Barnett. Alison is Jewish … she found that out at the age of 34 whilst studying at Bible college in the UK. Today Alison and her husband Barry are missionaries with Jews for Jesus. I met them in Israel recently to record their stories. Alison's story of coming to faith is similar to that of many Jewish people – how to tell your family you have become a believer in Jesus. Our aim is to build bridges... To build bridges of understanding and support, in a spirit of reconciliation, between believers (both Jewish and Arab) in the Holy Land (Israel and the Palestinian Areas) and Christians worldwide. olivetreefund.org jewsforjesus.org
