Psalm 132:13-18 |
For Adonai has chosen Tziyon, He has wanted it as
His home.
"This is my resting-place forever, I will live here because I so
much want to. I will bless it with plenty of meat, I will give
its poor their fill of food. Its cohanim (priests) I will
clothe with salvation, and its faithful will shout for joy. I
will make a King sprout there from David's line and prepare a
lamp for my Anointed One. His enemies I will clothe with shame,
but on Him there will be a shining crown." |

Deuteronomy 16:11 |
And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy
son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant,
and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and
the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place
which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place His name there. |

Speakers for the Conference were Scott Volk, Ze'ev Nevo,

ministries |
|
|
Scott Volk is a Messianic Jew who came to faith in 1975.
After graduating from North Central University in Minneapolis in
1988, Scott served in various pastoral capacities in Arizona and
Florida before founding Fire Church in Concord, North Carolina.
After more than 20 years in pastoral ministry, Scott founded
Together For Israel, a non-profit ministry that exists
to partner with the Church for the salvation of Israel. |
|
Ze'ev Nevo is a Messianic Jew, a Sabra born in Israel and
the son of a Holocaust survivor, who came to faith in
Yeshua/Jesus in 1999 when he was 27 years old. At the time, he
already had 4 years of experience in advertising - having won
awards for several campaigns in Israeli advertising. In 2006
Ze'ev felt the call to do something more extreme to share Yeshua
with the people of Israel. At that time he began to serve full
time with an evangelistic organization in Israel. During those
next 4 years of ministry, he was very enthusiastic about taking
every opportunity to use a variety of media outlets for sharing
the gospel in Israel and drawing people to Yeshua. The media
outreaches were very fruitful and led to many one-on-one visits
with Israelis that were open to consider Yeshua as Israel’s
promised Messiah. He saw people from all spectrums of the
Israeli society coming to saving faith in Jesus, secular,
traditional, atheists, religious and even Holocaust survivors,
including his own father, Joseph, who came to faith about a year
before he passed away in 2010. Ze'ev knew that for the first
time in his life, he could say that God gave him a personal
vision. A vision uniquely tied to Ze'ev - to start a ministry
that would be all about reaching Jewish people through media and
making them disciples of the Jewish Messiah. That was the moment
when
Israel Media Ministries was spiritually born. A journey
of faith began that day that took Ze'ev and his family out of
Israel for the sake of Israel - much like the story of Joseph. |

Warren Marcus is a Messianic Jew who has been in TV
production most of his adult life - having worked for CBN

Full Proof Gospel
Ministries |
|

|
|
One of the goals in Beit Yeshua's vision is
to bless Israel and the Jewish people. One of the ways we
accomplish this goal is by financially investing into Israeli
Ministries that we've become familiar with in our 18 years as a
ministry. We currently give monthly to (1)
Vision For Israel, (2)
Christian Friends of Israel, (3)
Israel Media Ministries, (4)
Dugit Outreach Center, (5)
Makor Ha'Tikvah and (6)
Heart of God Ministries. We have met with and know these
ministries and their leaders. When our Christian friends are
interested in giving to Israel, these are always the ministries
we suggest. |
|
In 2018, we had the privilege and opportunity to connect with
Jesse & Jamie Boyd and Eric & Mindy Trent of
Full
Proof Gospel Ministries. We weren't looking for another
ministry to invest in, but after we heard them share about Full
Proof Gospel Ministries, we knew that's exactly what God wanted
us to do. Jesse often sends out an Email Newsletter when they
are out in the field ministering. The stories and photos make
the newsletter something that we at Beit Yeshua look forward to.
As time has passed, not only do we love this ministry, we've
also come to love the Boyds and Trents, too. |

Full Proof Gospel Ministries (aka Zerayim Colportage
Board) is an international colportage ministry modeled after
the historic Baptist Colportage Board and fully committed to the
free distribution of the printed Word of God, to the Jewish
people FIRST, and ALSO to the Gentile nations. Zerayim endeavors
to freely distribute printed copies of the Holy Scriptures, to
proclaim the Gospel in the public forum, to go into all nations,
and to mobilize Gentile churches to invest in reaching the
Jewish people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Jewish
Messiah. This ministry had established a presence amongst
Israeli backpackers along the Hummus Trails in both South
Asia and South America and labors to get the Hebrew Scriptures
(both Old & New Testaments) into the hands of as many of these
as possible. Zerayim is also involved in Jewish Colportage work
in the United States and Canada, distributing free copies of the
Scriptures to Israelis who commonly work in shopping mall
kiosks. One of the unique aspects of Jewish missions involves
crossing paths with many types of Gentiles. Zerayim, therefore,
is very careful not to disregard these Great Commission
opportunities. Jesse Boyd is the founder and director of
the ministry. Eric & Mindy Trent joined FPGM in the "field" in
2018 and have recommitted for two more years of service. |

Zechariah 12:2-3,10 |
2“Behold,
I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that causes reeling to all
the peoples around; and when the siege is against Jerusalem, it
will also be against Judah.
3“It
will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy
stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely
injured. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered
against it.
10“I
will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of
Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they
will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for
Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly
over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn. |
