Loving Yeshua in life as much as Sean Trank did in death


Sean Trank, a missionary with Jews for Jesus, lost his fight with lung cancer on July 2, 2014. Sean was an incredibly gifted and passionate man of God.

Sean never shied away from controversy when it came to presenting Yeshua to our people. He helped Jews for Jesus develop the controversial, That Jew Died For You video and thatjewdiedforyou.com and created one of my favorite video channels on YouTube, Parsha in 60 seconds.

In a great act of courage Sean, with his brother Aaron, even decided to document his battle with lung cancer in the hope that people would be inspired to know and walk with Yeshua. See it here: https://www.facebook.com/SeanVersusCancer

Pray with me for Sean's family and his extended family at Jews for Jesus. The loss of Sean is a big hit for the whole messianic movement.

But, God knows what He is doing.

He wants to push us.

He wants to encourage us.

He wants Sean's life to be living reminder of the life, death and resurrection of Yeshua.

He wants us to blog better. Use social media smarter. Make videos. Tell stories. He wants us to find new ways to make the name of Yeshua famous among our Jewish people and every nation on this earth.

At the memorial service for Jhan Moskowitz, my dad encouraged his generation of leaders to fill the void that Jhan's death left. 

In my generation nobody has been better than Sean at using technology and social media to make the case that Yeshua is our Messiah. We, our generation, will all have to fill the void that Sean's passing has left us. To work harder and find more creative ways to use the tools of this generation to reach this generation for Yeshua.

It's our turn. To honor the memory of this great servant of Yeshua by giving glory to The One Sean loved the most, Yeshua, Jesus, the Jewish Messiah.

I want to love Yeshua as much in my life as Sean Trank did in his death. In Judaism we say, "zikhrono livrakha" or "May his memory be a blessing."

May Sean Trank's name and memory continue to lead our Jewish people to Yeshua, who died so that we may find life.
