Chai v’ Shalom seeks to learn how to share the
faith in such a way that the natural intolerance of
Jewish people might be overcome. They pray that many
will come to faith, Gentile and Jew, and that by
being part of the community, they will also learn how
to share their faith in Jewish ways and increase in
the depth of their own faith through a deeper understanding
of God’s Word and ways.
And you can help!!! Will you stand with us
in sharing the news that Messiah has come to this unbelieving
community?
Worship at Chai v’ Shalom is conducted by LCMS
pastor Kevin Parviz in a distinctly 1st Century way.
He uses Hebraic liturgy, observes Jewish festival days
and emphasizes the fulfillment of the promises of the
Messiah in Jesus Christ family-style fellowship.

David had
been e-mailing Pastor Parviz for more than a year.
He was a Jewish man, married to a Lutheran woman,
and they had three small children. He had heard Pastor’s
testimony and was struck by their similar conditions.
On a Wednesday night during Lent, David decided to come
to the soup and salad supper at Chai v’ Shalom.
He and Pastor ate together and shared God’s Word.
David stayed for the Lenten service and fellowship time.
Several Jewish believers shared their faith and their
testimonies with him.
A few weeks later, David called Pastor Parviz to tell
him that he had finally accepted God’s gift of grace
through faith in the Messiah, Jesus. David was baptized
on Pentecost Sunday.
Some time later, David and his family were traveling through
St. Louis and joined Chai v’ Shalom for worship.
He had been studying and working with his pastor, and
was praying about the possibility of attending the Seminary.
What a blessing to see God at work in David’s life!
What a privilege for Chai v’ Shalom to be utilized
in the process! |
