While today’s Messianic Jewish movement has been established to be a venue for Jewish outreach and evangelism, throughout its history, the Messianic Jewish movement has always recognized that non-Jewish Believers are going to be attracted to its synagogues and congregations. While the place of non-Jewish Believers, and their participation in the assembly, vary across the spectrum—from full membership to associate membership to welcome visitors—it is widely acknowledged in many Messianic sectors that non-Jewish Believers, in today’s Messianic movement, probably bear some kind of Ruth calling on them.
Messianic Judaism
The development of today’s modern Messianic Jewish movement goes back to the late 1960s and early 1970s, as Jewish Believers in Israel’s Messiah established congregations, synagogues, and assemblies with the mission of facilitating Jewish outreach, Jewish evangelism, and solidarity with the State of Israel. This is a mission which continues to our present day, and should ever be on the hearts and minds of those involved with today’s Messianic congregations.
