Miki grew up in a Conservative Jewish family. As a child, she remembers once looking in a Catholic Church and being terrified when she saw a crucifix. After college Miki worked as a Physician!s Assistant and became friends with a co-worker’s wife. She noticed that they were different than other people she had met. They were very generous and were always taking in exchange students. Also they talked about God and having a relationship with Him. Eventually, Miki met Jewish believers in Yeshua, read the scriptures for herself and learned the truth. She learned that the world wouldn’t “blow up” if she walked into a church or read the New Testament and then it was a very Jewish thing to believe in a Jewish Messiah!

Back again - Rabbi Joe Bell!
Joseph Bell was born Jewish and raised in Conservative Judaism in his hometown of Newton, Massachusetts (a suburb of Boston). At the age of 29, through a friend’s loving encouragement, Joe finally relented to read the New Testament. He then recognized how very Jewish the New Testament is. Through a miraculous work of the Lord, Joe asked Yeshua to come into his life. Joe committed his life to Jesus and immediately dove into serving the Lord. Jews for Jesus invited him to study theology with Dr. Louis Goldberg and train as an evangelist; thus Joe began his formal ministry training in New York City — leading over 100 people to faith in Jesus that summer. In 2007 Joe received full ordination as a Jewish Rabbi by IAMCS[International Association of Messianic Congregations and Synagogues]. Joe currently serves as Executive Director of For Zion’s Sake Ministries and as Rabbi of Ari Yehudah Messianic Congregation in the town of Bristol, Tennessee/Virginia.

Under his leadership, Jews for Jesus advanced internationally with missionaries in 12 countries, the largest number being in Israel.

David has authored several books, including the most recent release Does the Jewish Bible Point to Jesus? 12 Key Prophecies that Unfold God’s Plan. He has been interviewed on secular and Christian radio and television shows, including Larry King Live and In the Market with Janet Parshall.

Moti Vaknin Interview
In 2007, Moti traveled to the United States to follow his dream of becoming a photographer. While taking classes at Photo Manhattan in New York City, he worked as a kosher supervisor on the Upper West Side. During this transformative time, he encountered Chosen People Ministries and was challenged to read the Bible independently and seek a personal relationship with God. Through prayer, study, and reflection, Moti came to the conviction that Jesus (Yeshua) is the promised Jewish Messiah.
Moti returned to Israel in 2010. Over the years, Moti has developed a thriving service ministry, working with youth, soldiers, and students across Israel. He and his wide Orel are devoted to sharing the good news with their fellow Israelis, with a special focus on mentoring young believers and equipping them to grow in their faith.

Ted Pearce Announcement!!
Ted Pearce lived his teenage years in Beaumont Texas as an atheist. It was not until he decided to read the Bible, to find contradiction within it, did God reveal Himself mightily to Ted. A radically core shaking experience by the Holy Spirit in 1990 brought Ted to become a believer and he has been a worshipper for the Lord ever since.
Ted had already been playing professionally as a musician, but the Lord refined His gift towards worship and Ted soon recorded his first messianic album, "Shield of David" (1991).
He later put together a Christian rock band releasing 2 very different albums Nomadic Farmers (1997) and Big Methuselah (1999).
But his desire to bless Israel led him to record a new messianic project, which was called "Letter to the Hebrews" and released in Jerusalem on The Day of Pentecost 2001. Ted’s debut on Messianic worship label Galilee of the Nations followed in October of 2002 with "Zealous Over Zion". He has since recorded several more CDs.
Ted's vision is to see all the sons of Adam turn to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and believes that he can help build bridges of shalom.

Kristin Wiprut Interview
Kristin and her husband Jim serve at Congregation Beth Shiloh in the Carolinas as Associate Rabbi and Rebbetzin. Kristin was born in Southern California and raised Catholic. She met her husband while attending college in Santa Barbara, CA. While in Santa Barbara, Kristin found herself drawn to the New Age movement and spent the next decade in that world. In the midst of this, G-d began working significantly in her life and in the life of her husband. In 2010, feeling a calling to the Asheville area, she and her husband left their home in California and moved across country with their two young boys. Once in North Carolina, everything changed. Her husband began questioning spiritualism, religion, and New Age. He became a born-again Jewish believer in Yeshua and began praying desperately for his wife to find Yeshua again. In August 2012, after Jim spent a full year praying for her, she gave her life again to Yeshua and became born again. Soon after, they began attending Congregation Beth Shiloh. They began taking on active rolls in the service during their first year. Kristin taught Shabbat school Saturday mornings for the children and was spending her extra time taking on administrative rolls at Beth Shiloh. Jim felt a calling on his heart and soon began taking Yeshiva classes to become a Rabbi.Through all of this, Kristin believes that the most important ministry she has been involved in has been her family.

Judith Mendelsohn Rood Interview
Judith was raised in a Conservative Jewish home, attending Hebrew School at the Tree of Life in Pittsburgh and Adas Israel in Washington, DC. Her father’s escape from Nazi Germany made her a student of the Holocaust, Antisemitism cast a long shadow over her life—shaping how she saw and understood history. Her love for Israel led her to question why the Palestinians hated the Jewish people, leading her on a journey that led her to the foot of the Cross. While she was a doctoral student she accepted Yeshua as her Messiah and Savior, recognizing that He is God, and has been with all who suffer in this Age of War. Her new book, Beauty for Ashes: Understanding the Israel-Hamas War (WestBow, 2024) analyzes the history of Zionism and the Palestinian Resistance from a faith perspective framed by her life of scholarship. This is the Age of Salvation—an age that offers hope to everyone in the time that remains.
