MessianicReport Blog w/Don Meecha June 4, 2009
Boker Tov,
I have just returned from a very important series of meetings from which, I pray, will allow LOMMI a broader platform across Canada & most important, some of the support needed to plant more Messianic congregations! As a matter of fact LOMMI is on track to begin planting a congregation this year (Keswick, ON) & possibly 2 more next year (Ottawa & an undisclosed location for the moment). If our work expands to the Philippines & Poland, which appears to be the way God is leading, our current community builders Richard Sisson (Philippines) & Eugene Banak (Poland) are working extremely hard to build core groups in these 2 countries, we will easily be planting more congregations a year or two than any other Jewish planting organization!
LOMMI has planted 3 congregations in the last 5 years & has expanded its work to include Not-for Profit Religious Charitable Organizations in Israel (Ohr HaMashiach) & the United States (Beth El Shaddai Messianic Fellowship/ Publishing Inc.). LOMMI also has 3 congregations in the US (Temple Aviv Judea, The Bridge & Beth El Shaddai Messianic Fellowship).
Right now LOMMI is looking for more Community Builders! Every individual (Community Builder) entering LOMMI is enrolled, in what we call, our 2-Year Program. This program includes over 2 years: Classes (i.e., Survey of the Torah, Messianic Theology, Jewish History, The History of Anti-Semitism, Values Driven Leadership, Raising Biblical Support & more!). Internship in a local Messianic Congregation and/or another agreed upon internship, which would enhance the quality of training for the individual’s upcoming ministry.
Upon completion of the 2-Year Program the individual will have raised their personal support for the work ahead of them through a variety of channels & a charted course for building community, predetermined & charted by the 2_Year Program assessment & by the individual’s calling & giftedness. Their calling & giftedness are then put into service at the agreed location & then upon entering the community they can then begin their Community Building efforts.
If you feel called to Messianic Community Building, we need you! We need more candidates for our 2-Year Program in order to fulfill this awesome vision. We must to enroll at a minimum 15-25 more gifted & called individuals over the next 2 years to accomplish what is necessary to send more laborers into the fields…
So, please pray for more workers & if you know someone who may be called to this field of building please have them contact us @ info@MessianicReport.com. We here at LOMMI remember that God has promised always to keep for Himself a Remnant, & our Community Builders are continually out there searching for them!
Blessings, Don
