Cohen is a native of the San Fernando Valley who was raised in a Conservative Jewish home. After earning a history degree at the University of California at Davis, Michael met a young Jewish believer named Lisa. He became curious about her faith and, after reading a copy of the New Testament she gave him, Michael accepted the Lord. He and Lisa were married some time later. Michael is a graduate of The Moody Graduate School’s Jewish Studies Program. He serves as Chosen People Ministries’ Los Angeles Branch Director. Michael and Lisa have five boys, Elijah, Joseph, Isaac, David and Jacob.
Chosen People Ministries is an over one-hundred-year-old mission that was founded in 1894 by Leopold Cohn, a Hungarian rabbi who came to believe that Jesus was the Messiah of Israel. From humble beginnings in Brooklyn, New York, Chosen People Ministries has grown into a worldwide ministry with outreach centers in Argentina, Australia, Canada, England, France, Germany, Israel, Mexico, Ukraine and the United States.
Throughout its long history, Chosen People Ministries has been unwavering in its commitment to bring the Gospel message of salvation in Jesus “to the Jew first and to the Gentile” throughout the world. In stressing the Jewish roots of Christian faith, Chosen People Ministries hopes to make the message of the Messiah more accessible to Jewish people and also to help Christian believers achieve a greater appreciation of the Jewish basis of their own faith traditions.
This meeting is open to the public, and First Southern Baptist Church would like to invite Christians and Jews to attend. For more information, please call the church office at 310-323-4972.
