MICHAEL and JUDITH

Michael and Judith serve a unique role for Jacob's Hope, directing our compssion ministries in Israel. They are currently living in Israel and are responsible for establishing and maintaining the six compassion projects in Israel.

Michael and Judith were asked to join Jacob's Hope in 2008, when Rev. Jeff Friedman found out this faithful family was moving to Israel the following year. Michael and Judith were eager to serve, just as they had been while attending Jeff's Messianic congregation in Philadelphia. During their years in Phildaelphia, Judith served as head of the children's ministry and cleaning ministry while Michael served on the council as tresurer and as youth pastor. Michael was also part of the four person group that acted as congregational leader in the six month period after Jeff's departure in 2007, until a replacement was found.

Michael and Judith moved to Israel using their own savings and are still raising the support needed to continue the compassion ministry in Israel. Please CLICK here to support this ministry.
