From the Pulpit to the Bima
My Ordinations
In 1995 I was ordained as a licensed minister and then in 2010, as a pastor. After receiving all of my ordinations, I planted a church. Yet, somehow I knew that it wouldn't be for long. God called me into a different ministry.
In the year 2016, the Lord opened up a door of opportunity to minister overseas, as a missionary. It was a experience that I will never forget. There, the Lord used me mightily in many ways. To Him be praised! Find out, here.
I still minister in churches whenever given the opportunity. Nevertheless, these days I'm more focused on street evangelism and try to tell Jews and Gentiles about Jesus: “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few" (Matthew 9:37).
That's not to say that I'm not open to what God will do with me. If it be His will to travel again, so be it. Yet, it has to be Him who's sending. Over the years, I've been invited to many nations, but I haven't accepted every invite.
My Pilgrimage
After returning from Israel in 2006, God spoke to my heart and reminded me not to forget or totally abandon my Jewry. So I embraced Messianic Judaism. This great and wonderful experience was the beginning of a Jewish outreach called, Grafted in Messiah.
Although I consider myself Messianic, the experience is something called, Baal teshuva, which is a Jewish person who regardless of their upbringing, turns towards a more observant, traditional, or Orthodox lifestyle. Moreover, the term literally means, "Master of repentance."
Like the Apostle Paul, I'm a Jew who practices Christianity. These are two of my favorite verses: "...And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. ( I Cor. 9:20, 22, KJV).
I also teach the Parasha - using the Torah during a particular week. and the full cycle is read over the course of one Biblical year.
