Jewish Evangelism

Every Church in Pittsburgh is called to Jewish Evangelism, either through direct witness, support of Jewish Ministries, or prayer. The biblical pattern for the Great Commission is always to make Israel jealous (Romans 11:11) through one's witness to whichever people group one is called to.

There is no other people group (other then the Jewish people) in Scripture where God promises that with the salvation of that people group it will result in revival for the rest of the world; it will bring world transforming implications and promises (Romans 11:12, 15).

If Pittsburgh pastors are serious about changing the world they must revisit Romans 1:16 and recognize that Paul is speaking in the present tense---the logic is clear. If the gospel is still the power of God and it is still unto salvation, than it's still to the Jew first---not because the Jews are more important than any other people group or more valuable, however, they are more strategic in God's plan for world redemption.

Just as God had a strategy in building His ancient Tabernacle (God was very methodical in building His ancient Tabernacle in the desert), so does He have a strategy for building His Tabernacle on earth; His living Tabernacle, His Church.

The principle is 1 to 10. Every one Jewish person who gets saved results in ten from the nations coming to faith---the principle is found in Zechariah 8:22123.
