Who are we?

Messiah Yeshua and His chaverim functioned as a brotherhood with a Torah Way of Living. Like Messiah, we are a small fellowship/friendship group (chaverim) of believers of Yeshua HaMashiach. We meet in a homestyle environment. We are designed to foster the inclusion of be'chol lashon (in every in tongue) and kulanu (all of us) in the Messianic community of Messiah's All Israel, which includes those who may or may not look/be Jewish, women & their children, husbands and wives, the widow & the orphan, and the lost, and the poor of Messiah. In other words we will endeavor to continue with the work of Messiah. We are  those who are gleaning the corners of Messiah’s field and following His Torah Way of Living. We also come together in Synagogue worship services and study in our Bayit Midrash called Kulanu -Kulanu Berean Bible Institute for Biblical Studies and Messianic Missiology & Israelology Studies . Yeshua Ha Mashiach is the Hebraic translation of Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus the Christ). When we assemble together as a holy community/assembly (kehillah kedoshah) of believers of Messiah we are following in the way of the sect of the Nazarenes/The Way. We assemble as believers in mishkan Yeshua haChaim Torah in Ruth Ephrathite Messianic Synagogue biTshuvah. This we do on Shabbat and Holy Days, etc because we love Adonai and want and endeavor to obey His commandments and keep His covenant. We study in class sessions in Kulanu - Women's Ministry & Kulanu Berean Bible Institute for Messianic Missiology & Israelology for believers in Yeshua). We like Ruth are invited and embrace gleaning in the field of our Kinsman-Redeemer. Therefore, we are Messianic believers who have a “Ruth Consciousness”. As believers in Messiah Yeshua, we know that we have not replaced Israel. We also know that we are counted among the members of Messiah’s ‘One New Man – the Olive Tree’ which is cultivated from the original Hebraic root of Jesse (Isaiah 11:1-10) and the Righteous Descendant/Branch in Isaiah 4:2, Jeremiah 23:5-6 and 33:15. We are not foreigners/strangers because we have undergone circumcision. “When you come to Messiah, you were “circumcised”, but not by a physical procedure. It was a spiritual procedure – the cutting away of your sinful nature. You were buried with Messiah when you were baptized. And with Him, you were raised to a new life because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised Messiah from the dead” Colossians 2:11-12.
