Tikkun - Global Messianic Family Spreading The Word - Online

We are excited to announce a new ministry that complements the vision of the Tikkun global messianic family.

“Spreading the Word – Online” will be reaching out to the nations to encourage reading and study of the Bible. Using text, audio and video to offer maximum accessibility and ease of use, we will be offering a number of innovative approaches to daily, weekly and guided reading of the Bible to help and encourage churches, congregations, leaders and individuals to “get into the Bible”.

A key verse that constantly inspires us is the word of the prophets Micah and Isaiah: Kiy mitzion teytzey Torah, u’d’var Adonai mi Yerushalayim – for the Torah shall go forth from Zion, and the word of the L-rd from Jerusalem (Micah 4:2, Isaiah 2:3). We are compelled to share that word in a deliberate, intentional and dynamic way with all of G-d’s people in an accessible and clear approach that builds up the body of Messiah, preparing the bride for Yeshua’s return. We are called to share the riches that we have been given (Romans 9:4-5) with those in and from the nations.

The new initiative, “Spreading the Word – Online” is being led by Jonathan Allen, who has been part of the Tikkun family for nearly twenty years. Many of you will have had contact with or exchanged e-mail with him as he has faithfully served as the Tikkun webmaster since 2003. Jonathan led a Tikkun congregation in England for a number of years, and has recently earned his doctorate – a PhD in theology – from Trinity College, Bristol University. He has also been writing a commentary on the Torah portion each week for over fourteen years.

Here are some reflections by Tikkun leaders:

There are several who write from the Torah and the Prophets with New Covenant application. My commentator is Jonathan Allen. He writes with a wealth of insight, wisdom, and application. This only comes from years of study, scholarship and spiritual commitment to Yeshua. In my view, his work in this area is the best I know. (Daniel Juster, Th.D., Restoration from Zion of Tikkun International)

Jonathan Allen’s work is intellectually, academically and spiritually substantive without being stilted, overly technical or simply boring … giving colour and texture with well-chosen references to rabbinic and biblical writings. His aim is to bring us repeatedly to the point of evaluation and decision in the real conduct of our lives. (Eitan Shishkoff, Pastor Emeritus, Tents of Mercy Congregation)
