The Team
We are a fellowship of believers who are dedicated to spreading the Word of God from a Messianic Jewish perspective. We have no buildings and take no salary. We are not associated with any Messianic synagogue or church. Our ministry team consists of 21 members, each using their own giftedness: Antonietta, Linda and Dan all help with proof reading and editing; Linda is also adding prayers to our new books on line to make our commentaries more devotional in nature. Vicky is our research assistant and Cesar also helps out with our technology needs; Silvio and his wife Monica have translated six books into Spanish and are currently working on Galatians; Josh is a consultant for creating the Apps we need; John leads our four-person Tamil translation of The Life of Christ; An anonymous translator and his wife are translating Esther into Urdu; Caleb is starting to translate Jonah into Chinese; and we are currently looking for a German translator. My youngest son Brian helps with my podcasts and our newly activated Minds.com account where readers can receive updates and make comments; Gary is our graphic artist, and Vince is our webmaster. Jay’s wife Beth is his IT department at home, and his eldest son David helps with google analytics. Jay is the human author. He a Masters of Divinity Degree from Bethel Seminary in San Diego, California, is 76 and a retired high school history teacher and football coach. He and his wife Beth attend Kol Dodi Messianic congregation in Nashville, Tennessee, and have been married for 39 years.
Current Developments
I have just completed the commentary on Leviticus and will shortly start loading it on line after it has been proofed by Antonietta. I am currently starting the commentary on the book of Ephesians. And next year I will be writing Numbers and the Life of King Sha’ul. Augustin will be loading Galatians in Swahili onto the website. Silvio and Monica are also loading Galatians in Spanish onto the website. And a Pakistani brother will be loading Esther in Urdu onto the website. Also take a look at our Updates page for the latest additions and changes to the website. Please visit the Testimonials page, they are coming in from all over the world and are very encouraging. But the most exciting development is that I am preparing to go to Isra’el with about fifteen members of my Messianic congregation from Kol Dodi. We will be leaving September 26th and returning October 7th. We will be there for all seven days of the Festival of Sukkot!
We have 22 volunteers working on our site.
Right now, our app is only on Android Google Play platform and Amazon Fire, but we are looking to add Apple iOS platform for our app as soon as we can. All the English books have been written, edited and are on line. There are many challenges to our foreign translators, but they are faithful and are loading their translations on the site as soon as possible.
The Website
Please see our FAQ page for more information. According to Alexa.com, the world’s top website that ranks websites based on their traffic and other factors, we are looking very good, both globally and in the United States. We have consistently been in 120-125 countries per week for many years. We urgently need to find someone who can help me build apps. We need an English App and a Spanish app. We need to get on Andromo to create apps for both Android and Apple. Most people 35 and under do everything on their cell phone.
