Josh and Sarah Rebelak

Josh and Sarah are husband and wife.  In their words, "God created; thus, we as His creation create things in return. One of our favorite ways to worship is singing- an act of creation that requires body, mind, and soul to unite together in a beautiful display of devotion. Our heart is that the music will bring you closer to God's own heart, and that you leave more in tune with His Spirit, through the mighty power of our Savior, Yeshua." They are both part of the group The Nesbitts and are expecting their first child in September.

Laura and John Popp

Laura and John had similar backgrounds in that they both grew up in a Catholic family and were both attracted to Judaism after experiencing a Passover Seder. The couple met at a Greek and Hebrew Training Center and learned  more about the feasts of Israel. They were both involved in the worship team there and the relationship grew. After marrying, they were drawn to Messianic Judaism. 

John was a pastor for 20 years and although the couple started in California, they traveled to Idaho, where John hosted a radio show called “Proclaiming to Zion.” Recently, the Lord moved them to West Virginia while they wait for a documentary to be produced about their ministry and their thirty-six year marriage.
