The third in a trilogy (Chosen Fruit, Ariel's Trials and Triumphs), this book unfolds the uniquely inspiring stories of the many unsung heroes and heroines that shaped Camp Shoshanah from its rudimentary beginnings in 1974 to a state-of-the-art conference facility today. It is a precious legacy reflecting the mighty work of God's Holy Spirit and pointing to Ariel's ongoing mission and hope for the future.
Ariel’s Trials and Triumphs may be understood as a sequel to Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum’s biography, titled Chosen Fruit. While the latter predominantly depicted the personal life story of Dr. Fruchtenbaum, the purpose of this account is to present the inside story of Ariel Ministries itself. Founded in 1977, the ministry has had to exercise unparalleled faith and rely solely upon God for its support, from its inception. Throughout the years as a Jewish ministry, Ariel has experienced a series of trials and tribulations. By the same token, it has also seen its share of exciting triumphs and wonderful spiritual blessings. From the seed of one man’s obedience, God shaped the growth of the ministry into a vast network of both Messianic and Gentile believers, with many international branches. The stories of how some of the branches got started truly reveal the power of God at work. Hence, this account attempts to chronicle the major achievements, progress, and events that took place within Ariel Ministries, bringing to the fore its exceptional faith journey since the beginning and God’s enduring faithfulness to His flock.
