Barriers to Bridges

Born in post-Holocaust Germany, Margrit Kowalke-Matthe struggled with deep guilt and pain at the role her country played in the atrocities carried out on Jewish people during the Holocaust. Instead of allowing her shame to consume her, Margrit began an active ministry to Jewish people in Israel, both by visiting the country and by writing thousands of letters introducing Jewish people to Jesus the Messiah. Her story of hope and reconciliation helps answer the question that many people struggle with; "What can one person do to battle the sheer magnitude of evil and hurt in the world?" We can all build bridges in a deeply divided society.
