The messianic world starts
here for news, views and prayer for Israel and a balanced approach to exploring
the Hebrew roots of Christianity, for Jew and Gentile. Read our PLAIN MAN'S GUIDE TO THE MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT Available on the web and as a printed booklet.
Shalom and welcome to the Saltshakers Messianic Community. First, a little about ourselves. We are a Jew and a Gentile, who have met our Messiah, Jesus (Yeshua) and seek to minister to the whole body of believers, whether you call yourself Messianic or Christian.
We promote a balanced approach to our faith walk and we work towards a non-judgemental, caring and loving witness to both Jew and Gentile, believer and non-believer. Our desire is to reach the following:
- Gentiles who wish to learn more about the Jewish Roots of Christianity
- Jews who are curious about the claims of Jesus, the Jewish messiah.
- All who love Israel and the Jewish people and are looking for reliable information and current news.
