A Tale of Two Women

January 31st, 2025 | TJCII Blog

The work of TJCII is being carried forward by many people across numerous countries and continents. On occasion, we get to hear about their endeavors for G0D as He leads them through open doors that no one can shut. The vision of TJCII continues to expand across every continent, just as it was originally envisioned nearly 30 years ago. Antarctica remains the only exception—until we find someone who speaks penguin first!

The seven continents of the world are North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia. I am looking forward to the first TJCII conference in Australia this coming March—more details will be shared in our next TJCII for You newsletter.

I would like to share with you the experiences of two women who worked together to spread TJCII’s vision. You will find out more about their encouraging and moving experiences in the interview linked below.

Paula Leitner is a TJCII ambassador from Europe. She is from the Netherlands and has dedicated herself fully to serving the LORD. Originally trained as a nurse, Paula now serves as a vessel of the LORD for healing the divide between Messianic Jews and Christians. Maria Pibernus is a devoted intercessor in Argentina. She serves the LORD with TJCII in Buenos Aires, overseeing prayer for TJCII in the Southern Cone of South America. She also assists Rev. Agustin Marsal, TJCII’s National Coordinator for Argentina and the Southern Cone. Maria is a professor of translation in Bueno Aires. In lieu of the 2023 Jerusalem Summit, Paula and Maria began praying together about hosting a TJCII conference in Argentina. Working alongside Rev. Agustin, they not only organized a successful conference but also traveled as ambassadors to share the TJCII vision and emphasize the importance of Israel’s place in G0D’s heart and His plan for the nations of the world. The power of unified prayer cannot be underestimated.

Paula and Maria are our featured TJCII guests in the video interview below. We appreciate your patience while watching—due to an unstable internet connection, some glitches appear in the video.
