Jews for Jesus Vs. Chosen People Ministries

Jews for Jesus is currently fighting Chosen People Ministries in a Canadian court. I find this ironic since Reverend Martin "Moishe" Rosen, the founder of Jews for Jesus, got his start on converting Jews with the American Board of Jewish Missions (the original name of Chosen People Ministries). However, since both have multi-million dollar budgets (Jews for Jesus brings in over $20 million a year), I am not surprised that they are fighting over access to supporters.

There are also a couple of interesting points about Jews for Jesus in this article. Jews for Jesus must approve all marriages of their missionaries and a divorce gets a missionary fired. Wow, talk about controlling a person.....
