We, the Church, owe a debt of love to the nation of Israel and the Jewish people. For it was out of their seed that the world gained the Messiah, Jesus Christ. “Neither is there salvation in any other. For there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” [Acts 4:12]

We recognize Jesus Christ as the Jewish Messiah who came to save His own first. Though Israel as a nation and people rejected Him, there was still a Jewish remnant that did accept Him as their Lord and Savior. They became the first Christian Church. Even though Israel was like a branch broken off the olive tree, God has never stopped loving them nor taken them out of His eternal plan. Because of their unbelief, we—by the mercy of God—were engrafted into the olive tree and given a place in Father God’s heart.

As we remain spiritually sensitive to the heart of the Father, both the desire and the opportunities will increase to minister to the nation of Israel and her people all over the world. We will learn more about our Jewish roots through the Bible Education Center and our pulpit ministry. We will continue to host conferences, special Messianic concerts and evangelism outreaches—both as a church and in conjunction with other Christian and Messianic churches.

ITAMAR:
Itamar is an Israeli settlement nestled between the ancient majestic mountains of Har Gerizzim and Har Eval. It is made up of settlers from all over the world who have made Aliyah (to ascend). It is an agricultural community founded over 18 years ago. Surrounded by Palestinian villages, Itamar is constantly on alert and has sustained several shootings in the past years. Word Of Life Ministries supports Itamar financially and we have visited the settlement numerous times. For more information or to support Itamar, contact WORD OF LIFE CHURCH.

CYRUS FOUNDATION:
Word Of Life supports The Cyrus Foundation, a non-profit Christian foundation, directed by Bart and Deborah Kellogg along with other ministry leaders. The Cyrus Foundation is helping to make it possible for Jewish people in North, Central and South America and other nations in the “west” to return to Israel and make it their home once again. For more information or to donate to the Cyrus Foundation, contact WORD OF LIFE CHURCH.

TRAVEL TO ISRAEL:
Each year Word Of Life visits the Promised Land. We spend time in Galilee where Jesus grew up and did most of his ministry, and Jerusalem where He was crucified and resurrected. This trip is amazing spiritually, culturally and a fun time of fellowship! If you would like to join us please contact WORD OF LIFE CHURCH.
