JEWISH EVANGELISM MANUAL
ENDORSEMENTS
I have known Felix Halpern for many years. We have dialogued together, and he has drunk deeply of the Bible and in interaction with the Messianic Jewish Movement. I see much of my writings reflected in Felix’s writing. I hope that is true. I think Felix has studied well and has produced a very valuable manual. I have been in the Messianic Jewish stream for over 44 years and am so glad for the progress shown by this manual.
- Dr. Daniel Juster, Tikkun International
In a world where we are witnessing a rising tide of anti-Semitism as well as anti-Israel sentiment, I am grateful to God for this new training manual. Jewish people are open to the gospel right now and especially this millennial generation of Jews. How very important it is then for God’s people to be educated and equipped to show His love to the Jewish people and to learn to be effective in sharing that love in Jesus with them. Many blessings to brother Halpern and the MJR as they use this manual to pursue that vital ministry.
- David Brickner, Executive Director/ Jews for Jesus
Felix Halpern has written an excellent workbook for training Christians in the work of Jewish evangelism. His effort provides 130 pages plus of superb theological, historical and practical information. The practical sections are very much needed and are written and presented in an easy to follow format that should enable Christians to utilize this information in sharing a clear and sensitive Jewish Gospel to their Jewish friends, neighbors, and relatives. It is no wonder that Felix has created such an effective training tool for today’s church! He is a Jewish believer himself with many years of ministry experience among his fellow Jewish people as both an evangelist and Rabbi of a Messianic Congregation. We hope this manual will be used by thousands of Assembly of God churches and that an army of Jewish evangelists would be raised up in these last days.
We also expect that many other Christian groups will take good advantage of this excellent tool by using it for home Bible studies, small groups, and training services at the church. Finally, Felix goes to great lengths to show that the role of the Jewish people and the land of Israel is not merely the initiative of modern day’s politicians or leaders, or even transformative historical events like the Holocaust. Felix has given a rightful place to these significant events in the Jewish story but more importantly had developed a kingdom themed theology showing the role of the Jew throughout history in the kingdom of God and in preparing the world for the coming of our great King and Messiah, Yeshua Hamashicah. Chosen People Ministries applauds Felix on a job well done and for the creation of a new tool for training Christians to reach Jewish people for the Lord Jesus.
- Dr. Mitch Glaser, Director of Chosen People Ministries
In his passion for the “Salvation of All Israel,” Felix Halpern has created a study guide and seminar manual that is sure to equip the Christian Children of Abraham on how to reach out and touch our Jewish families and friends with the Good News of Yeshua, Israel’s Only Hope. In the bosom of every Born-Again, the Spirit-filled believer is the deep-seated conviction that God still eagerly wants every Jewish person to worship Him in Spirit and Truth. That purity of spiritual worship comes with true faith in the Jewish Messiah Yeshua.
Felix Halpern’s special passion for reaching Jewish Americans for Messiah Yeshua is critical to reaching the massive Jewish populations of New York, New Jersey and beyond. Just as the Scriptures make transparently clear “All Israel’s” ongoing strategic role in global redemption, so resoundingly clear-cut is it that the Christian proclamation and exhibition of Yeshua is the catalyst for Israel’s salvation (Romans. 11). May Felix Halpern’s effective manual result in bringing into the Kingdom of God Jewish elderly, Jewish students, Jewish professionals, Jewish neighbors, indeed “All Israel” so that Jewish communities everywhere will honor Yeshua as King of Kings.
