Converting Jewish Children

It is one thing to target adults for conversion, but it is certainly quite another to target children. However, for the Messianic movement, there is often no difference. For example, Uri Zahora of the Russian Messianic Congregation (also a pastor with the Shalom Hebraic Christian Church and formerly of Congregation Am Echad) has used games and a swimming party to attract Jewish children to the Messianic movement in Houston. Using teenagers from the Tallowood Baptist Church, he put on events in an apartment complex with many Russian Jewish families, specifically aimed at children. According to the The Baptist Standard, "Watching the young people build relationships with Jewish children in an effort to share the gospel was uplifting to him. "

This type of behavior is nauseating. Targetting children for conversion is simply dishonest. However, there is no real evidence that the Messianic movement cares about honesty when dealing with the Jewish people. All they care about is conversion of Jews to Christianity.
