Training Messianics in Israel

The Assemblies of God movement is one of the largest Christian sponsors of Messianic congregations in the United States. However, it also created Messianic congregations in Israel. In 2005, Theresa (Terry) Hughes completed her Doctorate of Ministry project at Assemblies of God Theological Seminary on developing a teacher-training course for Messianic congregations in Israel. The goal was to help teachers at Messianic congregations do a better job at training their children and youth. Of course, the Assemblies of God movement is not ultimately interested in Jews staying Jewish. This is another example of how they use the Messianic movement to evangelize Jews, not only in America but also in Israel.
