Hello all, I'm Daniel from Israel, and I'll tell you my story in short about how I found Jesus!

10 months ago, I didn’t believe in anything. No God, no Jesus, nothing.

Until my life was saved by a real miracle!

I live in Israel. On October 7, 2023, we were attacked by terrorists. I was at the Nova festival at 6:30 AM when the party suddenly stopped, and all we heard were sirens and the whistles of rockets. There was nowhere to hide; we were in the middle of the desert. By 7:00 AM, terrorists were everywhere, and there was nowhere to run. Bullets and rockets were flying by my head.

We were 10 friends, and we all split up. I hid in an avocado field for 8 hours! No movement, no speaking, and almost no breathing. No army, no police, nothing like I knew. It was like real hell! Terrorists passed me 13 times, about 6 meters away, and didn’t notice me. Every time they passed near me, I thought it was the end and my life would end.

8 hours later, one of my friends who survived managed to reach me with his car (after saving many people! He was taking people out of the danger zone and coming back to save more!). After we managed to escape, I understood that God wants me to live because I have more work to do in this world! I decided to take that opportunity and rise. I promised myself to change all my bad habits and focus only on bringing good to the world and praying to Jesus!

I was born a Christian but never really cared about it. After that miracle, I understood that it was my sign to start believing. As a jewelry designer and a newly born Christian, I created a Jesus cross with the words “Protect and Save” (from Psalms 18:35) because that is what I feel happened to me on October 7.

I would love to hear your opinions!

Are you Jewish or a gentile living in Israel. The born Christian is a misleading statement as no one is born Christian. You may have been born into a Christian family, so not sure if that was what you were saying. But even so if you were born into a Christian family, you would still have to yourself. Believe in Jesus to receive God's free gift of Eternal Life salvation.

Welcome to the Christian faith, brother, and my prayers that you remain safe in Israel, or have a chance to head over to a safer country. Your testimony sounds pretty heavy, my brother. God protected you and your friends. Also, your jewelry is pretty cool, brother. Now, as you are Christian, preach to your Jewish friends about the Gospel, about how Jesus protected you from terror, and convert them to Christianity, as Romans 11:25-27 and Zechariah 12:10 state.

Psalm 18:35 (NIV): "You make your saving help my shield, and your right hand sustains me; your help has made me great."

Which denomination are you, Daniel? It does not matter denomination, as we are all brothers and sisters in Christ. For myself, I am a Catholic, converted from nondenominational in 2022.
