G-d loves you with an everlasting love, and He’s numbered every one of the hairs on your head,” were the formative words of a kind-eyed stranger to a Jewish college student minding a frozen yogurt shop in Florida. From nursery school to high school, this student, Alyse Merritt, was immersed in Jewish learning and culture. When she set off from her very Jewish hometown in New Jersey to begin college in Florida, her mother warned against anyone who might try to speak to her about Yeshua. Little did anyone comprehend that a messenger from G-d, an angel, would come into Alyse’s life with the message of Yeshua at just the right time, allowing a mighty calling on her life to unfold.
