Some years ago, her son was so severely injured that all Israeli medical personnel considered it lethal and communicated this to her. She rushed to the ICU (intensive care unit) to be at his side in order to constantly plead with him NOT to give up and die. Strangely, and almost immediately, she began to receive telephone calls from this Texas pastor and other American Christians who promised fervent prayer and the initiation of "prayer chains" in behalf of her son. (To this day, Susan Marcus has no idea how the American Christians knew of the disaster.)
Miraculously, her son was healed (though he lost a leg) and was an active Israeli army major as of June '99. Susan gives unabashedly gives all of the credit for the healing to God through the power of prayer by Christians in behalf of a family that they did not know.
Susan saw a different face...salt and light...in Christianity; and, as a committed conservative Jew passionate for the cause of Israel, she obviously but unobtrusively utilizes her position as a guide to Christians (HolyLand Workshops, Inc.) for a personal ministry toward the appreciation of the joint heritage of Jews and Christians. May God bless this bright and passionate lady and her family that we meet her again some day in heaven! See other faith & health information [here].
