WELCOME TO THE CHURCH OF ISRAEL

5/31/2017 -

Acts 2:1--And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

This upcoming Sunday, June 4th, is the annual observance of the Feast of Pentecost.  We here at the Church of Israel are hosting a celebration to commemorate this commanded high holy day, and we welcome any and all of our Israelite brethren who might like to attend.  For more information, email us at coi@churchofisrael.org, or call at (417) 432-3119.  We hope to see you there!

5/16/2017 - For those of you who anticipate new releases from our very own Watchman Outreach Ministries, I have exciting news:  we have just unveiled not one but two new books penned by two of our preeminent authors!  Evangelist Reed Benson's book strikes at the heart of our society. It is titled As for Me and My House...Building Godly Families in a Broken Society, and provides a necessary, in-depth tutelage on how the failures of the American family unit have adversely affected our nation.  Pastor Gayman in turn has introduced a fiery counterpart, authoring a provoking book that challenges our society not from within, but rather analyzes it from without, finding it guilty before an angry God in his new book, titled A Nation in Moral Crisis.  You can read more about these new books here.

4/05/2017 - Here at the Church of Israel, we are officially counting down the days until the Feast of Passover and Unleavened Bread is upon us! With just five days to go, we all here are actively preparing to host our annual festival, observing it with a full week of services and activities. We will be featuring a myriad array of speakers and musicians.  If you are not already planning on attending but would like to, please contact us to learn how you too can celebrate the gift that is Christ's death, resurrection and His divine ascension! It all begins Sunday, April 9th, at 5:00 p.m. with Holy Communion and continues through the 16th. We hope that this endeavor will bring glory to the God of the Bible and allow us to truly honor His chosen Feast Days!

*Update-

We are happy to report that the Feast of Passover, all eight days of it, went off without a hitch!  We here at COI very much enjoyed hosting our guests, both far and near, and are grateful for every person who made the effort to attend.  Our next celebration is the Feast of Pentecost and will be held in honor of the great God of Israel very soon, the weekend of June 4th! 

4/03/2016 - Thanks so much to all our faithful readers!  For those of you who have been awaiting a new piece from our Pastor Dan Gayman, the wait is now over.  His most recent article, simply titled Why? is sure to strike a nerve, as it pertains to critical current events and the state of our nation.  If your interest has been piqued, do not delay, click away.

3/23/2017 - Good news for all our Watchman readers who are not local to our continental United States--we are continuing to update our online collection of Articles from the Watchman.   Our Fall 2016 issue is now ready and available, and packed full of invaluble information, carefully selected for the benefit of our faithful followers.  You will fnd it  here.

02/01/2017 - Hello readers!  For those of you who are not currently on our mailing list, we have recently uploaded a sampling of the Summer 2016 issue of The Watchman.  Not only does this selection feature a new author, but also some scintillating topics that assuredly few have tackled.  Click here and check it out for yourself!  The Fall 2016 issue is soon to follow, so be sure to keep up and stay apprised.

01/19/2017 -  With the historic election now well behind us, our own Pastor Gayman has taken the time to analyze the results of this unforeseen, record-breaking victory of an outsider versus the elitist establishment.  "...The polarization of our country into “two nations” is reinforced when one examines the 2016 Election results."  This selection is a mere sampling of the flavor from the Pastor's newest piece.  You can find 2016 Presidential Election Analysis here,  Read through it and send us an email with your thoughts, questions, and comments at coi@churchofisrael.org.

12/11/2016 - We have been updating our site as we strive to continually provide new material for our faithful viewers.  To that end we have added new photos from our recent Feast of Tabernacles, which you will find here as well as a new article from our very own Pastor Dan titled The Living Church.  "Evangelical Christians and the shepherds leading them have been assuming that the Republican party would do for them what they should have been doing themselves--a crucial error in judgment with damaging repercussions."  You will find the complete article here.

11/13/2016 - The presidential election of 2016 is an epic upset, the likes of which are unprecedented.  The resultant fallout has set the world abuzz, as people from all walks weigh in; meanwhile our very own Pastor Dan Gayman has released an insightful, decisive new piece that covers all things Trump.  "God-fearing Christians, who rose up in unprecedented numbers to defeat "Killary", should interpret Donal Trump's victory as a temporary reprieve from America's heedless march to divine judgment.  The election of Barak Hussein Obama in 2008 and again in 2012 was self-inflicted judgment upon the Amrerican people for their increasing moral apathy.  Bad leaders are elected when good citizens do not vote.  Godless policies always follow the election of bad leaders."  Click here to read this scintillating article in its entirety! 

11/07/2016 - We are excited to announce the launch of our brand new interactive blog!  We will be posting regular conversation pieces with the purpose of encouraging intellectual discourse between people of like-minded faith.  Follow this link to find the post and get in on the action!  Our current topic: the imminent presidential election--to vote, or not to vote?

10/28/2016 - With less than two weeks to go now until the Presidential election tensions are running high as the 2016 race grinds closer to that inexorable hour.  Much can be said (and has been) regarding both primary candidates, Donald J. Trump and Hillary R. Clinton, but for a new perspective, turn to this electric piece written by our Pastor Dan Gayman: "At stake is everything you hold dear including the 2nd Amendment and the future security of Christian liberty, both of which are now firmly in the sights of progressive activists, who have thus far successfully conspired to change the countenance and very fabric of a once Christian nation.  This is a make or break moment in history!  Do not bury your head in the sands of passivism."   To read this piece and other content original to COI, click here.

10/13/2016 - It is with great sorrow that we must inform you of the passing of Charles A. Weisman, of Apple Valley, MN, on October the 8th, 2016, after a prolonged battle with cancer.  Charles was a well-known and celebrated author who dedicated his life to his ministry and to spreading the Kingdon Israel message.  He wrote extensively and established his works in the canon of Christian Identity literature with such books as "Anthology of Racial Issues", among many others.  Charles' writings are a living testament to his devotion to the truth of the Bible, and he will be greatly missed.  The internment of Charles Weisman will take place at the Church of Israel Cemetary on Friday, October 14th, at 2 p.m.

10/3/2016 - The political environment of the US is thick with tension. Societal upheaval has taken many forms, so that seemingly nothing is static, nothing is sacred. It was not always so.  The proliferation of chaos, of the erosion of a once great culture, is accelerating.  "...undeclared, unending trillion-dollar political wars fought in the name of foreign allegiances were at one time unknown.  Before the US policed the world, making warfare the primary product we export, American manufacturing drove the US economy."   This change, along with many others, betray an alarming trend that, if unaddressed, will lead to the ruination of America as we once knew it.  This latest piece from the pen of Pastor Dan Gayman titled "My Fellow Americans" is well-worth the consideration of all remaining God-fearing citizens of this nation. To read it, simply click here.

9/23/2016 - Dear readers, two weeks ago we learned of a devastating diagnosis that has struck a beloved Christian family. Nine-year-old Yohanna Klingenberg, the daughter of Martin and Andrea Klingenberg, has been diagnosed with advanced sarcoma and is in the battle for her life.  This news came as a great shock to everyone, as there seemingly was no advanced warning.  While her family struggles with a grim reality, friends of the Klingenbergs have set up a private bank account for those who wish to make a donation in their time of great need.  For those who would like to contribute, the account number is 069116, and the routing number is 091307851 at United Community Bank.  All donations and prayers are greatly appreciated.

05/12/2016 - Good morning all! What are your plans for this weekend? Here at COI we will be celebrating the annual Feast of Pentecost, also known as the Feast of Weeks.

Deuteronomy 16:10: "And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto the LORD thy God, according as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:"

Exodus 12:14: "And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever."

Acts 2:1: "And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place."
