We believe in planting, strengthening, serving, and networking local congregations. That is how we started over 40 years ago in Maryland, USA and we continue to burn with that passion in Israel today.  The local congregation is the central corporate gathering emphasized in the New Covenant scriptures. Some congregations were founded by Tikkun leaders; others were founded by friends like Ari Sorko Ram and Zvi Randelman, and we have come alongside to help provide leadership and support. All ministries and congregations have their own authority structure, an elders' team or NPO board, for accountability.
