Jews are the most unreached people group in America. 1.3 million live in New York, where only a handful of full-time missionaries share the gospel with the Jewish people.
Shalom. My name is Yarden.
I am an eved moshiach (“servant of Messiah” in Hebrew), because Messiah transformed my life, and I owe everything to Him.
I am a Jewish follower of Yeshua (Jesus) who desires to share Messiah’s transformative power with the Jewish people and equip the Church to do likewise.
I lived the life of a child prodigy growing up, performing for world leaders and with major orchestras, playing on radio and TV, and touring throughout prestigious concert halls in Europe and the US. Building on my musical training and performance career, I went on to earn a doctorate and entered an academic career.
Despite professional successes, none provided the sense of fulfillment I was seeking. And over the course of my early adulthood, mental health battles took over every area of my life. While doing doctoral research as an atheist, I said a prayer that started a transformation of my mind and emotions, freeing me from years of anxiety and depression, and sending me on a journey that soon culminated in recognizing Yeshua (Jesus) as my Lord and Savior.
Currently completing my Master of Divinity at Talbot School of Theology’s Feinberg Center, I serve with Chosen People Ministries, where I engage in outreach to the Jewish people of New York, the most unreached people group in North America.
