Mission Statement
 


The stated mission of this ministry simply comes from the declaration of Romans 1:16: "For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek (Gentile)." B'rit Hadashah Ministries believes this is the divine order of evangelism for the Church to follow. Moreover, Jesus and His apostles followed this same divine order of presenting the Gospel when informing His Israeli audience several times that He came first to minister to the Jewish people of Israel (Matthew 10:6; 15:24). Paul went to the Jews and their synagogues first to proclaim the Gospel when traveling throughout the provinces of the Roman Empire on his missionary journeys (Acts 13:4; 13; 14:1; 17:1-2,10; 18:1-4; 26:20; 27:17-27).

This ministry's mission is being carried out as we take the Gospel to Israel three times a year as funds permit. Bibles in the Hebrew text (including the New Testament), Messianic Gospel tracts, and street witnessing are the primary methods for how this is being realized in Israel. These outreaches in Israel are facilitated by working with other Jewish believers and ministries in Israel to help broaden our ministry effectiveness. Our simple aim in this cutting edge ministry is to give Jewish people the real opportunity to learn from their own Scriptures why the historical accounts of the New Testament provide compelling evidence for Jesus being the Messiah. Such an opportunity will give each Jewish person the ability to experience a life-changing encounter with the Messiah of Israel and receive His peace, love, and forgiveness that salvation in Him truly and exclusively brings. Those in Israel who receive the Messiah Jesus are referred to Messianic fellowships and congregations so discipleship and spiritual maturity in the faith can be achieved.

Another stated objective here at B'rit Hadashah ministries is to equip and educate the Gentile Church about the Jewish roots of the Christian faith, the need for Jewish evangelism, the ongoing support of the Jewish people and the State of Israel and their prophetic place in the program of God. This is regularly facilitated by our weekly teaching at Shalom, Shalom Messianic congregation, our weekly radio program, Studying the Scriptures, and conducted speaking engagements and conferences in Church and Christian ministries throughout the United States and all parts of the world. Our supporters can further learn of these things in the ministry's bi-monthly newsletter, Search the Scriptures.
