Our Ministry

We are Cosmo and Rivkah Panzetta, U.S. Missionaries to the Jewish People. We are called to reach the 6.1 million Jewish people in the United States. 59 out of 60 are still Gospel-deprived. We cannot assume they have heard the essential Gospel. We are a part of Israel's Redemption, the national center for Jewish ministries. Our vision is to train equip, and mobilize Spirit-filled believers to reach their Jewish friends, co-workers, family members, and classmates with Gospel of Yeshua the Messiah.

Our Message Ministry Brochure (.pdf)

Our message to the Jewish people is that Jesus, Yeshua, is the Jewish Messiah. Believing in Him is our only hope of salvation - our only hope of being brought back into right relationship with the LORD. Placing your faith in Yeshua does not take away from your Jewish identity. Quite the opposite. There is nothing more culturally and Biblically Jewish than believing in the Messiah of whom Moses, David, Isaiah, and all the other Hebrew prophets spoke. He is the Passover Lamb, who willingly laid down his life so that you might have life, and rose again, so that you might place your faith in Him.

Our Method

Our ministry's focus is to effectively share the Gospel with the more than 6 million Jewish people in the United States. How are we to do that? What is the most effective method? Within the Assemblies of God, there are only a handful of Messianic Jewish congregations. While well-balanced Messianic congregations play an important role in proclaiming the Gospel to the Jewish world, they are not the only ones who play a role. We cannot expect these few Messianic congregations to carry the whole load of Jewish evangelism. What about the Jewish people living in towns and cities where there is no Messianic congregation? Don't they also deserve a chance to hear the Gospel?

What about the multiplied thousands of Pentecostal churches spread through nearly every community of the U.S.? Our churches are full of Spirit-filled believers called to be witnesses to the world around them. These Spirit-filled believers have relationships with Jewish people - friends, neighbors, co-workers, extended family members, classmates - and they interact with them on a regular basis. The people in our churches love the Jewish people, but often do not understand much about them, nor do they know where to begin in sharing the Message of Yeshua.

Our goal is to train, equip, and mobilize the Spirit-filled believers in our churches to reach the Jewish people within their circle of influence with the Good News that Yeshua is their Messiah. Our desire is to establish ongoing Jewish ministries within our local congregations so that Jewish believers can worship in a Jewish cultural context and so Gentile believers will have a non-threatening environment in which to invite their seeking Jewish friends. In this context, Jewish believers in Jesus can continue to embrace their Jewish cultural heritage, while continuing to worship and fellowship alongside their Gentile brothers and sisters in Messiah.

You see, we don't want to just reach the Jewish people in one particular community. We want to reach every Jewish community, regardless of its size. The largely Gentile church must play a role in finally provoking Israel to spiritual jealousy. "And so all Israel will be saved" (Romans 11:26).
