_Thank you for praying for our ministry trip to London as the Lord heard your prayers and blessed in incredible ways. Sam was invited by the British Messianic Jewish Alliance to speak at their conference which is held every two years and includes most of the Messianic congregations, fellowships and outreaches to the Jewish people throughout England. He centered his teaching on the subjects that he covers in Messianic Foundations.
We heard from one of the leaders who reported on the conference:

Sam’s sessions on Messianic Foundations were both inspiring and challenging. It is not surprising that by lunch time on Sunday there was not a copy of his book left. Many of us will be prayerfully reading it over the next few weeks as we seek to hear the Lord’s direction. He led us through the foundational truth of God’s love being personal, perpetual and powerful to a clear philosophy of the basis of Messianic Judaism. Sam’s humor helped us to respond to some demanding ideas. He showed us the Jewishness of the gospel as God’s act of Tikkun Olam or ‘repairing the world’. He also showed us how a Messianic Congregation is ‘the effective testimony’ of God and that through committed congregations ‘Am Israel Chai, b’shem Yeshua’ (the People of Israel live in the name of Yeshua).

James Mendelsohn, President of the  British Messianic Jewish Alliance, also commented:

“Sam’s teaching was a real encouragement to the BMJA as a group and to me personally. It was so good to have clear, encouraging and theologically and exegetically thorough teaching about God’s purposes for Israel and for the nations. I particularly appreciated Sam’s emphasis on being “present-tense Jewish believers”, which is something I wish to explore further in next year’s BMJA regional conferences. Those who attended the leaders’ training day on the Monday also really valued Sam’s input. On a personal note, I was grateful for Sam’s wise counsel to me as a younger Jewish believer learning the ropes of Messianic leadership! Thank you so much to the board of Word of Messiah for freeing him up to come to us!”
