Nick Coates
EBENEZER UK CHAIRMAN
Dear Ebenezer Family
The story of Esther reminds us of the words Mordecai spoke to her:
“Who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” (Esther 4:14)
This scripture is as relevant today as ever. The Church has a vital role to stand with Israel, to speak, support, and help the Jewish people.
You will notice this brochure is bright and colourful—perhaps unusual in these turbulent and increasingly dark times. Yet, even in Esther’s day, there was life, celebration, and colour in the kingdom. God's kingdom remains vibrant and full of hope! As the world grows darker, we are called to shine brighter, reflecting His glory and expressing our faith boldly.
We warmly invite you to our conference this September to hear inspiring and challenging messages, updates on Aliyah, and discover how the Church can partner with God’s work among the Jewish people.
Join us for Spirit-filled worship, fellowship, and encouragement as we celebrate our King together in a bright and meaningful way.
Shalom and blessings in Yeshua!
Speakers
Tom Brooker
KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Tom is the Director at Red Hill Christian Centre, Warwickshire and oversees all aspects of the work along with his wife Olivia and daughters Elia & Tahli. In 2011, God called Tom and Olivia to take a step of faith, to sell their house and for Tom to leave his job as a Police Officer, in order that they would be free to serve the Lord in whatever way He required. Since then Tom has served both in the UK and abroad as a teacher and worship leader, serving with Ebenezer Operation Exodus since 2012 and as Director of Red Hill since 2017.
Tom is a passionate teacher and student with a particular interest in understanding the Hebraic context and culture of the Scriptures. He studied Biblical Hebrew with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and has a burden for seeing both Christians and Jews return to the Biblical truth of their faith.
