Personal Testimony

Billy Siegler was raised in a reformed Jewish home without any knowledge or exposure to Jesus or Christianity. His personal testimony describes the experience of growing up in this context: going to Hebrew school, attending synagogue, celebrating the Jewish holidays, learning what it means to be Jewish, and living with the knowledge of the Holocaust and other persecutions. He describes in detail how God began to open his eyes in his late teen years, the experience of reading the words of Jesus for the first time in light of his Jewish upbringing, and the process by which God brought him to faith in the Jewish Messiah. He also speaks about dealing with family strife and persecution because of his faith, and the call to faithfulness in the midst of personal rejection. Overall, his personal testimony is presented to not only inform the church of a unique conversion experience, but also to inspire and encourage all believers to faithfully continue on in relationship and service to Jesus the Messiah.
