A note from Mitch Glaser

Reaching Jewish people for Jesus in these last days is a vital part of God’s plan for the end of the ages. Through Chosen People Ministries, we are privileged to be among the first fruits of an “end-time generation” of Messianic evangelists that God is using to reach this growing Jewish remnant (Romans 11:5).

We have already been used by God to accomplish what I never would have thought possible when I was saved as a 19-year-old Jewish hippie in the early 1970s. At that time, who could have imagined an evangelistic center in the heart of Jerusalem, an international conference of more than 100 Russian Jewish church planters, and the astounding multiplication of Messianic congregations in Israel and around the world? The Lord has done all this—and more!

Everywhere I look, I see more and more Jewish people becoming believers in Jesus. I believe that this expansion of the Jewish remnant will continue and that it is an unmistakable signpost pointing toward the Second Coming.

Yet there is still so much to do in working together with the Lord to reach the day when “all Israel will be saved” (Romans 11:25-27). God has called us to be His arms, legs and voice to the Jewish people—calling His chosen ones to salvation in Messiah—but who will go?

Messianic Evangelists for the Last Days

The men and women being trained at the Charles Feinberg Center for Messianic Jewish Studies have answered, “Send me!” And what better place to train this new generation of end-time Messianic evangelists than New York City—and especially Brooklyn?

The Feinberg Center is all about reaching Jewish people with the message of Jesus—which is one of the most difficult mission fields under the sun.

The Devil will do whatever it takes to turn Jewish people away from Jesus, because he knows what will happen when Jewish people turn toward Him!

Effective Jewish evangelism requires a rare combination of knowledge, spiritual maturity and a sense of calling that is lived out on a daily basis. In reaching the religious Jewish people who will be our neighbors near the new Brooklyn Center, we will also need knowledge of Hebrew, Jewish Studies and a deeper understanding of the Jewish roots of the Gospel message.

I have dreamed about a program to train missionaries to the Jews and Messianic pastors since my days in Bible college. Although I was happy with my education and learned under excellent professors, there was very little understanding about Jewish evangelism. After all, we would not expect the average seminary professor to know about Jewish life, religion and thought, as this is a very specific area of expertise.

A New Day for Jewish Missions: Another Sign of His Coming

The Charles Feinberg Center for Messianic Jewish Studies is designed to meet the needs that my earlier education could not. It is a response to our growing Messianic movement— and again, another sign of the Second Coming. The remnant is increasing, and so is the need for training those who will minister to the existing remnant and the remnant to come. In fact, as I meet Jewish believers from all over the world, I find that one of their main desires is for training in Jewish ministry.

Dear friend, this is why we have established the Charles Feinberg Center for Messianic Jewish Studies. We are currently in our third year, and we have more than twenty students training to be full-time workers among the Jewish people. Some of these men and women are already on staff with Chosen People Ministries, and they are further developing their ministry skills through this program. The Feinberg Center offers an opportunity for in-depth education and practical ministry training.

A Ministry and Training Center in the Midst of Brooklyn!

We are now receiving applications for the Feinberg Center regularly, and we are thrilled that God is calling so many to dedicate their lives to reaching His people with the Gospel! Our new facility in the heart of Orthodox Jewish Brooklyn is absolutely necessary for the growth of this training program—and, more importantly, for the growth of God’s work among the Jewish people.

I would love to take you for a stroll through the neighborhood to see the Jewish bookstores, Jewish seminaries and synagogues, as well as the kosher sushi restaurant across the street! By the time we finished our walk, you would clearly understand why the Lord has led us to this facility and how important and strategic it is for the students to be trained and to minister in this very Jewish area.

I hope you will remember to pray for us—especially as we continue asking the Lord to provide the $900,000 we need to renovate this 11,000-square-foot facility in Brooklyn. We praise Him for the generous grant we received that allows gifts to be doubled!

Have a great rest of the summer, and may our Messiah Jesus fill your heart with great joy and holy expectation—because He is coming soon!

Your brother in the Messiah,

Mitch
