VISION:
To allow the Ruach HaQodesh (the Set-apart Spirit) to bring the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel back to the expanded Millennial Land of Israel while believing in Yeshua and Torah, with the ultimate goal of living side-by-side with their Jewish brothers and sisters in peace and in love, for the benefit of all of YHWH's people Israel (both Ephraim and Judah).
SITUATION:
Zechariah 12:10 tells us there will come a time when our Jewish brothers will accept Yeshua ('J-sus') as their Messiah. When this happens they can be expected to allow messianic believers to make aliyah, and gain citizenship.
Ezekiel 37 (and other passages) tell us that there will also come a time when the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel (who are basically presently hidden within Christendom) will be called back to the Land of Israel, to keep the Torah (or the Laws of Moses). This time of return is called the Ingathering.
After the Ingathering will come what is known as the Religious Unification, when YHWH will cause the Ephraimites (i.e., the ex-Christians et al) and the Jews to come together and form one clean doctrine, so that they can walk together.
MISSION (GREAT COMMISSION):
1. Yeshua tells us, "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore into all nations, and make disciples of all the nations, immersing them in the name (i.e., fame) of the Father and of the Son and of the Ruach HaQodesh (Set-apart Spirit), teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you (Matthew 28:19-20).
Some two thousand years after Yeshua's ministry, the true Hebrew Roots of the faith have been lost, and are in the process of being restored. The Stick of Ephraim's mission is to establish a place where those who seek to follow Yeshua and the Torah can come together on common ground, and learn and grow together. Emphasis will be on the indwelling of the Spirit, as applied through the four pre-requisites of Acts Chapter Fifteen.
Acts Fifteen tells us that in order to come into the assemblies, those who have His Spirit must first abstain from:
a. Idolatry;
b. Sexual immorality;
c. Strangled (or unclean) meats; and
d. Blood.
There are different definitions of what these things mean, but so the threshhold will be at the minimum standards that are explained in the p'shat (face value) of Scripture. However, violations of the face-value of Scripture will not be allowed.
Ethics violations (lying, cheating, stealing, extortion, etcetera) are also not allowed, as these indicate the presence of an unclean spirit.
No anti-semitic speech or behavior of any kind is permitted. In order to improve our walks, the truth needs to be spoken in love: however, no hateful speech or actions of any kind will be permitted towards any Jewish, Ephraimite or Christian person, persons or groups.
