Jews for Jesus/EFCA

Within the Messianic world, many of the leaders are ordained Christian ministers. In the case of Efraim Goldstein of Jews for Jesus (the founder of their permanent ministry in Tel Aviv), he is an ordained minister of the Evangelical Free Church of America (EFCA). How do I know this? Well, it is in the first paragraph of this article from EFCA Today!


This reminds me how Jews for Jesus founder Martin "Moishe" Rosen was a Baptist minister. Just more evidence that Jews for Jesus, well, isn't Jewish!

FYI-according to a March 1985 article that Goldstein wrote for Jews for Jesus, his parents never gave him the name Efraim. His birth name is Fred.
