History
In August of 1989, Marv Rosenthal and his wife, Marbeth, were led by the Lord to establish a new ministry in Orlando, Florida. Unlike their previous ministry in southern New Jersey, they did not operate out of a well-equipped office with a large staff, but from their living room, with only a few colleagues alongside. They launched Zion’s Hope, Inc., as an independent, Bible-believing, non-denominational, faith-based missionary organization. Each year, countless lives are touched for eternity through in-depth Bible teaching and the faithful evangelistic endeavors of Zion's Hope staff and overseas missionaries. Name
The name “Zion’s Hope” points to Israel's Messiah – Jesus (Yeshua). As the One who will bring them salvation, He is the only true hope of Zion. This truth is found in Psalm 53:6, which states: “Oh, that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion!”
Purpose
With a passion for God, His people, and His plan for planet Earth, Zion's Hope seeks to graciously proclaim to the Jewish people – and all people throughout the world – their need for personal salvation through Jesus the Messiah. We believe prophetic Scriptures indicate the Lord's return is near, and that a time of intense persecution will precede His coming. Therefore, we fervently seek to prepare Christians for the difficult days ahead and educate the Bible-believing Church concerning the place of Israel in both history and prophecy, and assist it in fulfilling its God-given obligation to include the Jewish people in its program for world evangelism. Methods
Our call is to communicate the unchanging message of saving grace through faith in Christ alone. But while our message is fixed, our methods of communicating that message are flexible. Through in-depth Bible teaching, insightful writing, eye-catching publications, prophetic conferences, and ministry tours to Israel, Zion’s Hope is faithfully proclaiming the timeless truth of the Gospel. We continually strive to utilize technology and innovation to develop unique ways of sharing the truth of God’s Word with a world that is desperately searching for real answers.
