We are presently working on the follow-up book in The Messianic Life Discipleship Series, “Bearing the Fruit of the Spirit.” This new book, along with its complementary Leader’s Guide, is tentatively rescheduled for release in late Fall 2008.
Also under development is the third in our Messianic Devotional series, the Messianic Torah Devotional. Though originally slated for publication in Fall 2007, it has been pushed back to Fall 2008. We anticipate that those who have enjoyed our first two devotional books will be looking forward to this new release. While our fourth devotional book, the Messianic Shabbat Devotional, is still in the works, there is no publication date at this time.
Our goals at Perfect Word Ministries go far beyond the creation of balanced, Scripturally-sound, exhortative Messianic Jewish resources. With the advent of our new discipleship series, The Messianic Life, we are also working toward the development of a network and support system for Messianic Life Groups.
At present, we are working with fellow leader Tim Hyslip and our home congregation of Baruch HaShem here in Phoenix to establish a successful home group-based community model. This kind of hands-on experience is what we need to bring small group life out of the theoretical domain and into the practical realm. We are very pleased that what we have seen so far has been life-transforming on a measurable level for all of the group members.
If you are looking to establish small group life in your congregation, or if you are involved in (or thinking about being involved in) an independent home group that is need of spiritual accountability and connection with the larger Messianic Jewish community, we want to help you.
To be kept informed regarding the development of the Messianic Life Groups ministry, please send us your complete contact information through our website at http://www.perfect-word.org/ContactUs.php. If you have questions about the Messianic Life Groups, please leave us a comment on this page. Our reply will appear here as well.
(In the meantime, leaders who are using our materials in their home groups are invited to join the Messianic Life Group Leader’s Forum, which is now in a prelaunch developmental phase at http://www.MessianicLife.com/leaders/. Check it out!)
We are presently in development of a ministry that is very near to our hearts both as disciplers and as parents. The Messianic Jewish Home School Association (MJHSA) will be a collaborative resource for parents who want to ensure that their children are raised with the benefits of home schooling, but also with an emphasis on passing on a Messianic Jewish identity to the next generation. The purpose of the MJHSA will be to use the Internet to pool the resources of Messianic Jewish homeschooling families across the globe and to help local communities establish MJHSA chapters and coops.
If you would like to be kept informed regarding the development of the MJHSA, or if you feel you have something to contribute, we need to hear from you. Please send us your complete contact information through our website at http://www.perfect-word.org/ContactUs.php. If you have questions about the MJHSA, please leave us a comment on this page. Our reply will appear here as well.
