AMMI Ministry is a non-denominational Bible-believing and teaching mission work to the Jewish people. We began at a center city church in Philadelphia in 1984 and became a mission board in 1991. AMMI has two main purposes: 1) bring the Gospel to Jewish people; 2) minister to the church.
Ministry Update
The most exciting thing that has happened is seeing my cousin Larry respond to the Gospel and get baptized in May ‘09. Also, teaching a Jewish Evangelism seminar at my home church and at a PCA mission church for second generation Koreans. I am also grateful for the witnessing opportunities to Jews and Gentiles that God providentially provides for me. I continue to work towards ordination in the PCA. Our relationship with a PCA church
plant, Rock of Israel, developed into a deeper partnership. This has created witnessing and preaching opportunities.
More Mission Highlights 2008-2009
- Classified and half page Gospel articles were placed in 2 Russian language papers, developing new contacts for witnessing.
- Boardwalk evangelism in Ocean City and Wildwood, New Jersey provided opportunities to witness to Israelis, Russians, and Moslems from Egypt and to distribute tracts in these nationalities’ native languages.
- As a result of preaching at Rock of Israel, three Jewish people were recently baptized.
- A major blessing was being able to give witness for Jesus to our Jewish family by bringing about reconciliation between Jackie’s brother Allen and his two other sisters a month and one half before Allen’s death. They had not spoken to each other for 26 years.
- God is opening more church doors for my seminar on Jewish evangelism. The goal of this seminar is to equip believers to effectively witness to Jewish people. In September I am scheduled to teach the seminar at a PCA church in a suburb of Philadelphia that has a large Jewish population nearby. I will also teach at an African-American church that is part of an adult Bible Institute connected to many urban churches in Philadelphia.
- I taught at churches in Texas, New Jersey, North Carolina, and the Philadelphia area, which helped promote the Gospel and raised awareness towards the necessity of Jewish evangelism.
- Like many ministries there have been serious financial concerns. We request your prayers.
