Los Angeles, South Florida, London, Berlin, Moscow, Tel Aviv, and
Jerusalem.
Messianic Congregations
Messianic Congregations are places of worship where both Jewish
and Gentile believers can fellowship together in a Jewish context. In
addition, they offer Jewish seekers a familiar cultural setting combined
with clear Gospel teaching, which communicates our commitment that
one can be Jewish and believe in Jesus! We have helped launch dozens of
Messianic Congregations around the world, and they continue to be an
important and viable part of our ministry.
Evangelism and Discipleship
Evangelism has always been the heartbeat of our ministry, and every
year we lead outreach programs and events specifically designed for
reaching Jewish people with the Gospel. Our traditional outreach
programs include tract distribution, open-air concerts, book tables,
and surveys. During our Isaiah 53 Evangelistic Campaign, we have
incorporated newer outreach methods, by utilizing media and
advertising to offer evangelistic literature to Jewish people. We also host
seminars and debates where Jewish seekers can learn about Jesus in a
neutral setting. Through each of these outreach events, we meet Jewish
people who are seeking spiritual answers. Our missionaries connect
with these individuals and build authentic relationships with those who
are seeking the truth.
Equipping the Local Church
Another key focus of Chosen People Ministries is to engage and train
local churches for Jewish evangelism. Throughout our history, we have
observed that one of the key factors in Jewish people coming to know
the Lord is the positive influence of Gentile Christians. Therefore, we
have made it a priority to develop and offer resources for churches
to help believers discover the Jewish roots of the Christian faith and
understand the need for Jewish evangelism. We continually develop
tools and help equip churches with practical ways for congregants to
share Jesus with Jewish people in their communities.
