The Messianic Times Congregational Directory has always been an integral part of the newspaper, and was an important part of the vision of our paper. Starting with the first issue in 1990, the directory has grown as the Messianic movement has expanded.
The congregational directory has enabled new congregations to post their address, contact information and times of services. It has helped many people to quickly find a congregation whether its their home town or going to services while on vacation. It has also helped believers to find a local congregation to visit in the event they plan on moving to a new location.
Some states have multiple Messianic congregations and synagogues; some states have a few. Sometimes this makes the difference to someone who is moving. Many people are able to contact the congregational leader and obtain some helpful information. Many congregational leaders have told us that people literally walk into a service holding The Messianic Times. What a blessing to be used in this way!
In the past 10 years, many congregations have added their web sites to their listings. These web sites are quite informative and give a more complete picture of what the congregation has to offer; i.e. focused on teens, senior citizens, Russian speaking, etc. We encourage all of our readers to read the web sites of different congregations in order to get a full understanding of how diverse Messianic congregations can be.
We also want to encourage our readers to let the congregational leader know that you found their congregation in The Messianic Times Congregational Directory. This is very encouraging to the Messianic leaders who list their groups with us.
If you found your present congregation through The Messianic Times Congregational Directory, we would also like to hear from you by emailing us. If you have an unusual testimony involving The Messianic Times Congregational Directory, please let us know and we will consider using the story in one of our issues.
As we continue to update and improve, we invite your ideas and opinions so we are able to serve you better.
We look forward to hearing from you,
THE MESSIANIC TIMES STAFF
