Bringing Jesus to Israelis in Haifa
Most Jewish people that come to faith in Jesus are rejected and left without the love and support of a community and need a place to grow and fellowship with other believers.
Kerem-El Messianic Congregation is cultivating a loving, diverse, and dynamic community through scriptural teaching, practical help for the needy, and regular congregational activities. They are turning back to the simplicity of the Gospel by sharing the truth and love of Jesus with Israel and the nations.
