Shalom Chaverim,

Many souls have contacted me through this website inquiring about Netzari Fellowship in their areas.  Up until now I have been reluctant to put up a list of fellowships because I don't like recommending a congregation unless I know a little something about the leadership and the values that they espouse.  But now it looks quite apparent, by your requests that this is something that needs to get done.  Being as I am not so computer savvy that I can make this an automated system, you will have to send me your information and I'll post it.  And if you are a single person, a family or a congregation who wants to put a bit of your information online, this is quite alright.  Please send me a little bit about yourself and a photo of yourself or where you meet as you feel led.  I would prefer putting up your email right on the site if you so choose but you might be better of providing a phone number to save yourself the spam attacks.

You and I know very what it is like to sojourn in areas where there is very hard ground and where sweet fellowship is hard to come by.  My house is always open on Shabbat for those of like precious Faith to join me wherever I may be, but the problem is that I travel so much that only Heaven knows where I will be at any given time.

Canada, Alberta, Sylvan Lake at the moment :)

We are two blocks up from the lake off of 50th Street, if you care to join us we would be delighted, please send an email and we'll get to know each other.  We read the annual portions of Torah in English and do Hebrew and English prayer and praise for most of the Shabbat.  We study the parasha and also a portion of the Ketuvim Netzarim each Shabbat and have open discussion on whatever the Ruach puts on our hearts.  Weather permitting and if the park is not too overly congested we take a walk to the Provincial park on Sylvan Lake on Shabbat afternoon.  Sorry, I don't have a photo of our group as yet to put online.  Please contact Baruch ben Daniel for more information.

Canada, British Columbia, Vernon  a small group of Torah Observant followers of Mashiyach Y'shua meet together for Shabbat, those of like precious Faith who are interested may contact me and I will forward your information to David or Cynthia so you can arrange to meet with them.

USA, Ohio, Fredericktown Kehilat Beyt Avraham is a lively Netzari fellowship in Central Ohio, USA.  I was first contacted by Daniel from this congregation about a year or so ago and here's a family of Believers that I am delighted to share with others.  For more information about their fellowship click here.

Some thoughts on Fellowship

When we meet together in the Name of YHWH and His Mashiyach we are entering into His Time, into His Rest and into His Spirit but there are precious few souls who are able to leave "the world" behind on Shabbat and turn off the worldly thoughts and conversation.  Fellowship with YHWH and His Mashiyach is the goal, our response to YHWH is to beautify His Shabbat with Set Apart conversation and things that are edifying for each one in the congregation.  We don't entertain ourselves on Shabbat with worldly talk, we enter into a Set Apart place with YHWH where our thoughts and conversation are stayed on him but many simply cannot do this, rather they have a "service" on Shabbat and then continue on in worldly conversation, talking and gossiping about whatever hits the brain. Often times in travels to Messianic fellowships I've wished to have stayed in my motel room with guitar and Scriptures to enjoy the presence of the Ruach, rather than having to listen to "the believers" spout out garbage on Shabbat.

If numbers were so important to YHWH, He would have saved more than eight souls in Noach's ark and many more out of Sodom and Gomorrah!  The prophets of YHWH speak of these days in which we live, the acharit hayamim (end of days) as being a very dark time in the earths history.  Precious few souls are interested in Sanctifying the Name of YHWH with their mouths and their action therefore it is a special privilege to be with those who live for Mashiyach.  Shabbat is a Set Apart day (miqra haKodesh) and YHWH's people are called to be a Kedoshim (Set Apart) people.  YHWH has set His Standard (nace) over the earth and He will not change, we are the ones who need to repent and leave the addictions of the world behind us.

What is very encouraging is to meet many souls online who are pressing into the Malchut Elohim and who see that there is a great divide between Faith and religion, between talk and action, between "the church" and false religious systems and the elect.  You know how rebellious and appalling the hierarchical false church system is, but it has also corrupted the fellowship of many who adopt the Israelite, Netzari, "Two House", or "Ephraimite" labels, many of these congregations have the same interpersonal values of any other backslidden church, except they meet on Shabbat, observe the Feasts, eat Kosher and use Hebrew terminology, but other than this many are hierarchical (their Rabbi or Pastor is the highly esteemed big dog on the porch)  and many preach religious agendas rather than the universal Malchut Elohim, and many are so full of worldly thoughts that their fellowship is nothing more than a social club.

This is why I've been cautious about recommending congregations where I've not witnessed its personality and values.  It is of little benefit to come out of false religious systems and do a u-turn right back into the same, except with a new label and different vernacular.  No we are called to be a Kedoshim (Set Apart people), and nothing less than this is going to be pleasing unto YHWH and His Mashiyach!

I pray that if you have little or no fellowship where you live that you will not be discouraged and lose the vision that the Ruach is putting on your heart, there has been no time in history when it has been easy to follow Mashiyach, it is no different today.  The world we live in is as it was in the days of Noach therefore we should be much more concerned about finding others of like precious faith, or of introducing the Malchut Elohim to those who have never heard before.

YHWH be with you,

Shalom v'Simcha!
