Jews for Jesus in Palm Beach

• Religious Intolerance

Palm Beach County is the setting of a theological clash. It ignited Dec. 8 when the Jews For Jesus ministry began targeting the area as part of the Behold Your God campaign aimed at hitting 65 areas with 25,000 or more Jews by 2006.

Backed by a number of area churches, as well as messianic-style congregations that share its outlook of evangelizing Jews, Jews for Jesus, founded 30 years ago, has a budget of more than $24 million, offices around the world and a full-time paid staff of 240. They are part of the "messianic Jewish" movement, made of Jewish-born Christians who believe Jesus fulfilled Hebrew prophecies of a Messiah. Estimates of their numbers range from 75,000 to a quarter-million.

Please inform me as to the avialable locations in the palm Beach areas for worship. I was a Catholic who converted to Judaism in a Reformed synagogue and can not leave my belief in Jesus aside. I would appreciate any help you may offer

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Jews for Jesus in Palm Beach. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
