Isaac Solomon Ostrovsky was born in 1902 in Tagancha, a town not far from Kiev in Ukraine. He grew up in a traditional Jewish family, but eventually he received a Russian New Testament and as he read, he realized, "This is not a Gentile book, this is ours!" Every Sabbath he went to the house of pastor Averbuch and took part in the Bible study together with other Jewish men. Gradually Solomon accepted Yeshua as the awaited Messiah and devoted his whole life to preaching the gospel to his people in England, Romania and Israel. He died at the age of 98, in Canada. God has blessed him very much and used him in the service for His people.
