"Brother Phil, I've noticed you have taken quite a journey this past year. I've witnessed you grow in your spiritual walk, transition from becoming a visitor to the Synagogue to now leading Men's Ministry. This was also your first year at the Messiah conference! Please tell us a bit about your experience walking out the Messianic lifestyle. "
I found BMMC during a trying period of my faith. A number of life's circumstances led me feeling the need to be reoriented in my walk. I was raised in the Christian Apostolic Holiness denomination. In Bible studies, I was amazed with messianic prophecies, typology, and gained much appreciation for the writer's /our Creator's intent, revealed in the Word. I never imagined there was more...
Little by little, the Lord graced me with an inclination to Torah observance, seemingly on an isolated path. In due time, I was ready to launch out in search for a Messianic congregation that embodied the spirit and truth of the Word, and most of all, esteemed Yeshua in his rightful place. I watched many synagogue's services online. As I watched Beth Machaseh Messianic Community online, it was the first Synagogue that made me want to visit in person.
The Word given by the Rabbi and the fellowship with community members was impactful. Over time, some of my household began to accompany me regularly. As I was being ministered to and discipled, I felt indebted to help out in some capacity. When approached with the opportunity to lead the Men's Ministry, I accepted.
With Hashem's help, I will continue to grow with this community.
"Thank you Brother Phil, for your commitment to Hashem's plan, for reaching His people and living such a powerful testimony for your own family to witness and showing us as a congregation what it means to live life with strong purpose. I admire that you commute from Delaware every week, just to be apart of our congregation!"
