Dear Co-Laborers, I write this letter as a response to the ministry of Rev. John Metzger in the local church. As one who has know John for several years, I offer these observations. I have been personally challenged by his passion for lost people, especially the Jewish people. I sense that he has a great burden for them, that they will come to trust Jesus Christ as their Messiah. It is because of that passion that his vision for the local church to be engaged in Evangelism and Discipleship has become the theme of his personal ministry. In his role as Missionary/Teacher, he...

August 8, 2010 Re: Letter of Reference for John Metzger, Ariel Ministries Greetings Brothers and Sisters in the name of Yeshua Ha Mashiach, Jesus the Christ! Have you ever wondered what it was that Jesus said to the disciples on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24:12-35, especially verse 27, “Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.” We might not hear it from Jesus’ lips as the two disciples did, but we can hear it nonetheless. It is with profound pleasure that I introduce and...
