In July 2007, we took a trip back east to the annual Messiah Conference in Grantham, PA–the largest annual Messianic Jewish conference in the world. This year, we had an exhibit in the cultural center to introduce the conference attendees to our ministry. Pictured right, our helper, Simone, is explaining about our various resources, which are displayed on the table.
Pictured above, Kevin is the small figure at the center of the photo (click to enlarge).
In addition to our exhibit, Kevin was invited to teach a message of vital importance to the health of the Messianic Jewish Movement, “The Gentile Believer in a Jewish Movement”. The auditorum was packed as Kevin ministered to about four-hundred conference attendees.
Finally, Kevin also led worship after the main evening service as well as played piano for the Saturday morning Torah service. Pictured left, Kevin is at the piano praising Adonai with his friends Sue Samuel, Mark Dayan, and Matt Davis.

During the 2006 IAMCS Rabbi’s Conference, Kevin received interim ordination (licensing) with the IAMCS as a “Messianic Jewish Teacher.” In addition to this first ordination, Kevin was also given an equivalent ordination from Jewish Voice Ministries (JVMI) in an informal service at the Geoffrey home. The ordination was performed by Jonathan Bernis, a pioneering Messianic Rabbi and Jewish Evangelist, and the Executive Director of JVMI. Also in attendance were several of our friends who are leaders of Messianic Congregations here in Phoenix.
