This is an important message from our Congregational Leader.
This is an important time and season for ministries across the US and for our congregation especially. Our goal at Congregation Rebirth is to see lives Healed, Restored, and Reborn in the Hope in Messiah Yeshua to the Jew first and the Nations likewise.
Trust me when I say that we’ve been moving and growing by the grace and knowledge of Messiah Yeshua.
We have hosted magnificent Passover Seders (our 5th annual Seder was held at the beautiful Rosen Plaza), incredible High Holiday celebrations in state of the art community centers, and even having all of the Youth Camp @ Wekiwa Springs (join us for our Friendsgiving celebration at Wekiwa Springs!). We also hosted artists, such as: Joshua Aaron, Shai Sol and Emmanuel Roro, Rom El-Hai (the Nova Survivor), and many many more (join us for Baht Rivka Sat. Nov. 16)! We even have been able to give to furthering the good news by giving to ministries in Israel, to our community, and to many more ministries!
In response to these events, I have heard some of you say, “Rabbi Jacob, how can Rebirth… a ‘small’ congregation do this?”
To be honest, we only run by volunteers… including the Congregation Leader!
But God!
We take seriously the call of God in our lives, we at Rebirth are willing! We are willing, because of God! God is so good to us that I am willing to do this 3000 times over! Truly our congregation is focused on freely giving, but it is because we have received from the One true God… the God of Israel!
We are very greatful for all of you that have said,"Yes!" to the Lord in blessing our ministry! This year we made a move to Lake Mary, Florida, and the move was completed on the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh HaShanah). While it has been an interesting season for us at Rebirth, we remain constant in the Faith that God is glorifying His Name through the work of His Son in us. My prayer is to always be able to have every person see God’s goodness freely, and you can be part of that. If you are moved by what God is doing at Rebirth and are looking for a place to give, take the time to ask God how you can bless Rebirth.
Let’s make this year a special one as we rejoice in God’s work for our community!
2 Corinthians 9:12-15
"For this service of giving is not only supplying the needs of the kedoshim, but is also overflowing with many thanksgivings to God. Because of the evidence of this service, they praise God for the obedience of your affirmation of the Good News of Messiah and for the generosity of your contribution to them and to everyone. And in their prayer for you, they long for you because of the surpassing grace of God upon you. Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!"
In Messiah Yeshua,
Jacob Rodriguez
Senior Leader of Rebirth
