KUHUSU
Shalom kwa ndugu zetu wote wapendwa wa imani katika Masihi Yeshua, na kila roho ya mwanadamu. Sisi ni TORAH Works Ministries, jukwaa la kuweka Agano waamini ili kutiana moyo, kutiana moyo, na kuathiriana. Kwa hivyo, kuonyesha upendo wa Masihi wetu kwa aina zote za wanadamu kupitia maandishi yetu, muziki, na shauku ya Njia (HaDerech). Yeshua anaeleza katika Yoh.14:6
"Mimi ndimi Njia, Kweli na Uzima."
Kwa hiyo, ikiwa sisi ni sehemu ya Nyumba ya Njia (Beit HaDerech), basi sisi pia lazima tuseme kwa Kweli kuhusu Njia kama ulivyofanya mfano wetu (Yeshua Torati iliyo hai), ili sisi sote tuwe na Uzima na kuiga maisha hayo sisi wenyewe pia!
Sisi kama waumini tumekuwa Mabalozi wa Ufalme wa Mbinguni, lakini maandiko yanasema katika 1 Petro 4:17:
" Kwa maana wakati umefika wa hukumu kuanza katika nyumba ya Mungu; na ikianza kwetu sisi, mwisho wao wasioitii Injili ya Mungu utakuwaje?"
Ni lazima basi tuwe waangalifu kuchukua mtazamo wa kujichunguza kila wakati tukijihukumu tabia, mazungumzo, mitazamo na matendo yetu wenyewe. Kumb. 10:12 inasema,
" Na sasa, Israeli, Bwana, Mungu wako, anataka nini kwako, ila umche BWANA, Mungu wako, na kwenda katika njia zake zote, na kumpenda, na kumtumikia BWANA, Mungu wako, kwa moyo wako wote, na kwa roho yako yote..."
“Baada ya hayo nitarudi na kuijenga upya hema ya Daudi iliyoanguka. Mabomoko yake nitayajenga tena, nami nitayarudisha, ili mabaki ya wanadamu wamtafute Bwana, na Mataifa yote waitwao kwa jina langu, asema Bwana, afanyaye mambo haya yaliyojulikana tangu milele.
Matendo 15:16-18

Ephraim na Lisa Hernandez walikutana Alamosa Colorado katika kanisa dogo na wameoana kwa miaka 19. Katika miaka hiyo pamoja wametoka kuwa Wakristo wanaojitahidi kujua na kuelewa Neno la Mungu, hadi wafuasi wa Dini ya Kiyahudi, wanaoishi kama Wayahudi wa Orthodox Chasidi kwa miaka 3. Baada ya kuhamia New Mexico waligundua Kusanyiko la Kimasihi lililoimarika vyema liitwalo Olive Tree Fellowship linaloongozwa na Dk. Denis Otero, mkewe Sherry na watoto wao.
Sasa, kwa kiasi fulani ni fumbo, wanajiona kuwa Watu wa Kitabu , wanaojitahidi kuwa watiifu kwa Baba yao wa Mbinguni - Avinu Shebashamayim.
"Ni tumaini letu, na maombi yetu ya kudumu kwamba Baba yetu wa Mbinguni hivi karibuni ataanza kukusanyika nyumba ya Israeli iliyotawanyika. Na tuwe na shauku ya umoja na upendo wa kindugu na tuwe na ujasiri wa kulitamka jina la Muumba Mmoja wa pekee wa kweli na aliye hai, יהוה Tzabaoth katika maisha yetu, muziki wetu na huduma zetu."

Our Board of Directors
As everyone well knows, when one wants to tout the quality and influence of ones nonprofit you boast of the qualifications, status and education of ones Board of Directors. Well, as lovely as all of that is, in my view, the qualifications of a Ministry such as ours needs and depends on more valuable qualities. Not on what men see, but what is seen from heavens point of view. These are virtues, gifts and callings that are endowed from on High. These are the things we will speak about in regard to our wonderful Board of Directors.
Steve Johnson - Steve thrived for many years as a leader in the Christian world. The Almighty, intending to build upon Steve's journey, called him to cross over to Torah observance in 2008. Since that time, Steve with his wife Ann are among the most inspiring couples in the body of believers. Steve is the most well connected, and genuine men of faith you could ask for, and we are blessed everyday that he is apart of the team.
"Long story short." As Steve is so famous for saying. We love the excitement, passion and humor that he brings to our lives and Torah work. Steve and Ann both will come to anyones aid at the drop of a hat, they are always ready to give, to pray and to share Yah's mercy, the gospel and the Torah. The work being done in their lives is POWERFUL and BOLD. These folks truly live by faith and live out their faith through action everyday.
Steve is not afraid of saying what needs to be said when Yah directs him to, he is sharp minded and well versed in the scripture. He studies to show himself approved, rightly dividing the word of truth. He loves humanity and does his best to speak with wisdom, truth and compassion. He is generous with his time and his resources, living with his hands open and looking to and depending on the blessings of heaven daily.
James Birch - James has been a powerful example of caring for others. As we have gotten to know him since 2010, he has lived humbly and with conviction. We chose James to be apart of our team because he put a priority on things most people overlook. Though he had no transportation, he would travel on the train, bus and on foot to care for his two mothers. We saw the love and tenderness with which he cared for them. In many ways he lived like Yeshua, often not knowing where he would be or stay at any given time.
Whenever, Father gave me the opportunity to spend time with him, i always found myself in tears because I had never known another man that lived with his whole heart like myself. He does it with a peace that I hadn't known until I met him. I enjoy time with James because his life causes me to challenge the status quo in myself. He loves the Torah, and sees the world from a more natural perspective. He is native from the New Mexico Pueblo people and his journey is a powerful and unique one.
People practicing a religion often end up in a very judgmental and hypocritical position, and that way misses the mark and example set by Yeshua. James isn't like that, he doesn't judge people by the way they look or dress, he doesn't speak evil of people, and he meets people where they're at, and we love him just the way he is.
