Natalia Kynazeva Interview

Natalia was born and grew up in Central Russia east of Moscow.  Her father was a Colonel and her mom is a math teacher. Natalia’s Jewish grandmother on her mother's side, Havah, had to hide the fact that they were Jewish because her whole family was murdered in 1918. When Natalya was 13, she found out that she was born with a heart defect, and needed a heart surgery urgently. Right before surgery,  God sent her the same dream with John 3:16 in it 3 times.  She had never read the Bible before,  but believed God and prayed to receive Yeshua into her life right after those dreams.  She promised to follow Him and serve Him all the days of her life if He let her live after her surgery.  He gave her life and she has been serving Him since then. Today Natalia and her husband serve at City of David Messianic Congregation in Toronto, Canada.

Rabbi David Rosenberg

Rabbi David grew up in a Jewish family in Passaic, NJ.  As a young man he had no knowledge of Yeshua.  One day while walking to synagogue he passed by a big church and walked in to see what it was like.  He was horrified to see the body of Jesus on a cross and left in a hurry, feeling very uncomfortable.

His brother Jan had several health issues, and one day announced to the family that he had found Jesus.  David was furious and when he stood up, Jan simply put his hands up and "something" threw David back against the wall.  His brother hadn't touched him at all.  Jan had been completely healed and David knew something was going on.   He wanted to know more.  He began to visit a Pentecostal church with his brother, accepted the Lord and was instantly cured from demonic thoughts about himself.  Rabbi David learned the importance of daily Bible devotions.

Eventually he and his wife Helene became the Rabbi and Rebetzin of Shuva Yisrael Congregation in Plainview, NY.   Two of their sons are Messianic Rabbis and one is an inhalation therapist in the Navy.

Today they are retired and live in the Chicago, IL area.  They are the proud grandparents of six children.
