John Parks - Raising Up a Generation of Calebs

John Parks is one of our students from last summer's Caleb Leadership Training School. John has been in ministry all his adult life, and been strongly used in worship, prophetic ministry, and teaching. He has felt called to the nations, especially to Arab people, and had just recently spent time in Indonesia, before the Lord started talking to him about Israel. As he began to see the connection between the revival in the nations and the return of Jewish people to their ancient homeland and hundreds of thousands to faith in their Jewish Messiah Yeshua, John got in touch with us and came to our summer training. John received with a teachable heart and served with excellence.


By the end of the summer training, he began to believe that he was to be more connected to our Caleb team. We sensed a confirmation, so he stayed in Nashville, got a job and began to meet with and serve with us. As the two of us were praying together one day last fall, we both began to believe that John is to go to the Gateways Beyond training school in the first half of 2010. Gateways is indeed an excellent "gateway" into ministry among operated by our close associates, David and Emma Rudolph, with their family and extended spiritual family. We both teach annually in their discipleship school.


Now John's time of departure is fast approaching and he does not have the needed funds. He does have enough to travel to Cyprus, but little for the several thousand dollars needed for the training and outreach. Would you ask the Lord if you could participate with us in this? Even a small amount from a lot of people could bring the needed expenses. And we will pray with you that the Lord will return your gifts to you multiplied, and that even the giving will bring added joy to your hearts.



To contribute, please visit our site and put John Parks in the special instructions.

Blessings in the Name of our King Yeshua/Jesus,

Hello!
You wrote: “(..) thousands to faith in their Jewish Messiah Yeshua”

I want to comment.
[To differentiate,]
First of all some necessary background information,
The historical person was named Ribi Yehoshua. His name was later redacted into Jesus by Christians.

It is highly relevant for Christians whom want to follow the Messiah to know what was written in his authentic teachings. His authentic teachings were later redacted into the “gospel of Matthew”. In his true teachings one finds that he taught – just what is written in the Jewish Bible (which Christians calls the “GT”) – that humankind are required to do their utmost to keep the directives in Torah [“the books of Moses”] non-selectively. [note 1]

The “NT” which you quote was not accepted by Ribi Yehoshuas followers – the Netzarim because that it contradicts Torah. [note 2] Ribi Yehoshua was not an “incarnate man-god”, nor a divine “Son of God”. He was not a divine “Saviour”. He was a spiritual son of the Creator, a human, just like the term “son of Elohim” is used in Tan’’kh. The Mashiakh in Tan’kh is prophesied to be a human.

The historical Jewish Mashiakh (“Messiah”) is Ribi Yehoshua, not the redaction described in the “NT”.

Relating to the Creator exactly in the same way Ribi Yehoshua did – by observing the Creators directives in the Torah is very meaningful –including having a REAL relation to the Creator , which is highly meaningful!
