At Av, Ben, Ruach Congregation, we bridge the rich heritage and teachings of the early Church, Apostolic Christianity, with a modern evangelism focused on Jews and Israelis, or more precisely an Israelite audience. We are founded by Jews and Israelis who have recognized and embraced Yeshua (Jesus) the Christ as the promised Messiah, the Son of God, our Lord and our Salvation!
While we rejoice in being the people of focus in the Old Testament and humbly prostrate before God for the Grace of being the lineage through which He raised up a Savior for the world, we are deeply convicted that God’s chosen people are those who truly love Him with “all their heart, all their soul, and with all their mind, and with all their strength” (Mark 12:30; Deut. 6:5). It is by His Grace, by His Holy Will, and by His Holy Choice alone that we are chosen to love Him!
As those who have only recently repented of their participation in the Jewish people’s collective historical rejection and abandonment of our Lord, we share a profound gratitude, respect, and love to our older brothers and sisters in Christ from the nations. For nearly 2,000 years, they have stood faithfully by His side, loving Him and praying for us!
We steadfastly affirm that all who love Christ and follow Him sincerely are called Christians. From this is born our paradigm, our identity, as Christian Israelites!
!אנו מברכים אתכם בשם האב, בשם הבן, ובשם רוח הקודש! עתה ולנצח, אמן
We bless you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit! Now and forever, AMEN!
