About Echad One New Man
ECHAD One New Man focuses primarily on Oneness and Unity. We inform and educate the church of their Jewish roots and aim to Unite Jew & Gentile as 'One New Man' - the Bride Of Christ (see Ephesians 2:13-15, 3:6-7).
God sent Jesus to reconcile everything that was lost at the fall, fulfilling the promises He made to Abraham in Genesis 12:3. This is called the Abrahamic Covenant, which is a covenant of grace between God and His people Israel.
Romans 11:17 “If some of the branches were broken off, and you being a wild olive tree, grafted in among them and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree.”
- ECHAD One New Man aims to bring comfort to the people of Israel through our actions, that they will be provoked through our actions (see Romans 10:19 and Romans 11:11).
- We aim to support financially and spiritually (through prayer), and to support other ministries who are working amongst the people of Israel.
- We aim to bring a smile to a hurting people who are forever looking over their shoulders due to being constantly faced with the threat of bombings and war.
Ministries supported
Keren Sh’va (Sheba Project)
Ministry to Ethiopian Jews
The Jerusalem Support Centre
Caring and benevolence ministry run by the Church of God
Project Sheba
Jennifer Kaplan the founder and director of Project Sheba.
This is an outreach ministry that helps to meet the needs of Ethiopian Jews living in Israel. We need to pray for the Ethiopians that they stay strong and be good Israeli citizens and good examples in their communities. The Bible says in Deuteronomy 28:13 "And the Lord shall make thee the head and not the tail".
The main projects of Project Sheba (Keren Sh’va) are:
- Children and families. Holding seminars for women to help them be better wives and mothers. Counselling and assessing the needs of the youth to see how Keren Sh’va can help them. This is done in Amharic (the language of the Ethiopian people) and in Hebrew for the children.
- Youth work. Caring for the youth by tutoring them in their homes. As many as 25 people per week are helping them succeed at school. As the youth are more and more immersed into Israeli culture many of them drop out of school.
- Project management. Involvement in vocational training, where scholarships are given for Bible college. Seminars for leadership training and foundations in the Bible are carried out when they qualify
Keren Sh’va depends solely on private donations from Churches around the world. When large amounts come in it is used to send people to vocational training collages on courses such as motor mechanics, dental Assistants, bus drivers etc. The aim of Keren Sh’va is to enable the Ethiopians to support their families, and to be more integrated into Israeli society.
All the staff that work at Keren Sh’va are Ethiopians and academically qualified. These people have been able to climb the ladder of Israeli society. One of the project managers is a woman with an MA in Integrated Counselling. When she became qualified she trained others until they in turn became qualified. This is the essence of Keren Sh’va ministry.
Jerusalem Support Centre
The Jerusalem Ministry Centre is a Church of God Ministry – Founders Michael & Gina Utterback
The Jerusalem Ministry Centre is located In the city of Jerusalem and is funded by the Church of God in Tennessee.
This ministry is a caring and benevolence ministry within the Church of God. It is a ministry in its own right and funded in the same way as the World Missions Department is funded with all its other projects/ministries. It is also funded through donations of caring churches around the world.
Ministry to Israel caters for lone soldiers who have no families and are in need of food and other urgent necessities. The ministry also tries to meet some of the needs of the the new Russian immigrants, with food vouchers, clothing, household utensils and toiletries, baby clothes, as well as bus tickets for school children. Quite often Ministry to Israel is called up to fund for urgent life threatening operations
How can we help?
By praying God’s commandment of Psalm 122 "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem".
Jesus died to restore all that was lost at the fall and to fulfil the covenant made to Abraham Genesis 15:11-12. The restoration of all things brand new can only take place when we provoke the nation of Israel to Jealously for a Messiah they had despised and rejected (Romans 11:11). And through this provocation begin to cry out that God will hear and send Jesus (Zachariah 12:10).
The Peace Process has failed and there can be no true lasting peace by trading land for land or life for life. True peace can only be achieved when Jesus, the Prince of Peace, makes His final presence known.
