To Whom It May Concern,

Eric and Joanne Kragenbrink attended Kehilat Y’shua for approximately 8 months from the fall of 2001 to the summer of 2002. During that time they lead worship for our weekly Shabbat services as well as for special events such as Passover and Purim. Their goal during this time was not only to lead the worship but also to raise up a team that could take their place when they left. They did this by mentoring to a group weekly, instructing them and sharing music with them. Both Eric and Joanne taught the Torah study from time to time and Joanne even led a study on Hebrew word pictures.

Dear Pastors and Ministry Leaders:

Greetings in the Messiah Yeshua/Jesus! We live in a day when God is doing some great things in the Jewish community. Likewise, many Christians are taking a new interest in the Jewish roots of their own faith. One of the best ways I know to experience fresh understanding of those roots is through Jewish worship music that lifts up the Messiah. Lion’s Whelp (Hebrew Goor Aryeh) is a music group that has ministered in both the Jewish and Christian communities.

Portraits of the Messiah both in prophecy and fulfillment

I believe in the Besuras Haguelah. Does that sound strange? It is simply the original version of the gospel or “Tidings of the Redemption”, the source of the Good News.

This centers on the concept of the Messiah. Who can be the Messiah; known as the “Anointed One? From the Greek he is referred to as the Christ, in Hebrew He is a prophet like Moses, He is ben Yoseph (the suffering servant) and ben David (conquering king), one who will come in the clouds and riding on a donkey. Is this a concept or a condition or a person? I believe much more than a concept. These terms come from ancient depictions that we find installed in the writings of the Prophets. We find the legal prerequisites in the older writings called the TaNaK and the fulfillment in the Brit Hakadashah or Renewed Covenant. Once people understand that very old Prophetic Portrait writings of the coming “Anointed One” were completed in the life of one person, then we can KNOW that we worship the right Savior. Without the fulfillment of all of the prophecies, then we have a mere actor or deceiver. These are an example of the Legal Requirements of the Redeemer to signal the true Anointed One.

I call these “Polaroid’s of Messiah”, physical and spiritual fulfillment’s of the kinsman redeemer. It tells us why so much Jewish legal stuff provides us with the grace we know today.

Dear Friends, Family and Associates!

Shalom Alechem! It is time for an update to all our Mishpocha...our family in Messiah. This will be going to congregations, fellowships and churches who we have visited and ministered with. We have completed two tours this year...Whew, many miles and lot's of heat, however, we are very encouraged spiritually to what Yahweh is doing in these days. Yeshua's Messianic body is growing and so is the interest of many Christian Churches in the roots of the Gospel.

We found many groups that are experiencing and practicing restoration in biblical faith. It's uncanny...in fact, we believe proof that a movement is underway as guided by the Holy Spirit. Just about every city in any state.. ( the only western states we did not visit was Utah and Nevada)..has messianic groups growing and developing. We visited little towns and big cities alike only to find very interested believers in the Hebraic roots of the gospel and G-d's appointed times. We figure about half of our stops were churches entering restoration of the biblical foundations and the other half a gathering of people dedicated to the ancient paths...all of them centered on Y'shua. We also heard marvelous testimonies of healing, restoration and renewed lives from people overwhelmed with joy seeing Yah's hand in their lives.
