Guest Speaker From Word Of Messiah Ministries

Rabbi Sam Nadler will be teaching:  Messianic Apologetics, a defense not of His Messiahship, but of a balanced messianic approach, especially as to congregation planting. This includes the necessity of the Gentile Believers in the messianic movement.  Rabbi Nadler will start teaching at 10:30 a.m.

Sam is a Jewish believer in Jesus who  has a passion to communicate the Good News to his people, and to see discipleship established in Jewish communities around the world.  Raised in New York City according to Jewish tradition, Sam hungered for what the Messiah of Israel alone can give: atonement and new life.  After finding Yeshua (Jesus) as his Messiah, Sam has been in full-time service for Him since the early 70's.  First as a leader with Jews for Jesus, he established their New York City ministry. Later as President of Chosen People Ministries, he established international outreach, discipleship programs, congregational planting and leadership development in Israel, the Ukraine, Germany, South America, Canada as well as the United States.  As president of Word of Messiah Ministries, Sam is continuing to develop leaders & outreach to make a world-wide impact for the Gospel among his Jewish People.

Worship Leader News:

Our Worship Music will be lead by Rabbi & Pastor Ken Alpren (Congregation Kol Dodi, Nashville, TN.  

Ken Alpren grew up in a Jewish home and became a believer in Jesus as a young adult through a Christian businessman's witness in the suburbs of Philadelphia.

Following a call to the ministry, Ken attended Bible College, ministered in New York City, led missionary teams to Israel, Cyprus, and Europe, and served as chaplain on board a mission ship in the Caribbean. During this time he planted churches in New York and Pennsylvania. While establishing a Messianic congregation in Nashville, Tennessee, Ken married his wife Frances (also Jewish) and they were blessed with children, Samuel and Ashira.

Asked to join Chosen People Ministries to serve in the Philadelphia area, Ken established a Russian Messianic Jewish ministry. The opportunity to serve eight months in Israel enlarged Ken and Frances' hearts for Israelis. After four years in South Florida planting a Messianic congregation, the Alprens felt the Lord's leading to leave Chosen People Ministries to return to the Nashville area as their base for ministry to the Jewish people.

Rabbi Alpren serves as the Rabbi and Pastor of Congregation Kol Dodi.  Kol Dodi is an SBC ethnic ministry.

Rabbi Alpren served the SBMF as President in past years and is now serving as an Executive Board Member for the SBMF.
