Ann Hancock Interview

Ann was raised in an Irish Catholic home. As a very young girl, she was intrigued by one of her neighbors, a holocaust survivor. Her mother had compassion on this woman and she told Ann to bring her lunch every Saturday for about two years. After visiting a church and having a disappointing experience, her brother told her that she needed to get involved with Messianic believers.  Also one of her dear friends told her she needed to be in a Messianic congregation. Her friend went on the computer and looked up the closest congregation, which was Mishkan David Congregation in Rhode Island (Rabbi Brian and Sue Samuel). When Ann got to the parking lot and heard the worship music, she was overcome with emotion and just cried because the presence of the Lord was so strong. It’s now been 12 years and Ann knows she’s exactly where she belongs. Ann has many artistic talents, and also runs an Airbnb in Millbury, Massachusetts, which is about a half hour from Mishkan David Congregation.
