Shoresh David is a tithing congregation, meaning that 10% percent of all tithes and general donations received are provided as an offering to our two covering organizations: Tikkun America and the UMJC. Both of these ministries do much for edification of the Body of Messiah and specifically Messianic Jewish ministry, both in Israel and the USA. In turn, oversight and other governmental resources are provided by these two entities. Please visit our Resources section to learn more about these organizations.
In addition to this offering, Shoresh David provides small contributions to five other ministries that we strongly support. Our hope is that separate from the tithe you may provide to your own home congregation, that you may consider blessing ministries such as the three following:
1. Mitch Tepper – Christian Witness to Israel
Ministering from Pittsburgh, PA…

1. Pastor Igor Bagirov – Beth-El Ministries
Ministering from Cleveland, Ohio…
Beth-El Ministries’ focus is reaching lost people and sharing the Good News with them, glorifying God’s name, having a good fellowship and building part of God’s Kingdom on this earth through fellowship, worship and the preaching of God’s Word. Pastor Igor Bagirov and his congregation understand the Jewish roots of Christianity. All Apostles were Jewish, and so was the first church. They believe, that we live in the time of salvation of Hebrew remnants.
In 2002, with God’s help and blessing, Pastor Igor started the new Messianic Congregation “Magen David” in South Euclid. Recently, the ministry took the new name “Beth-El”, which means “The House of God”. One more House of God in Cleveland, Ohio, one more place where people can find the salvation, where they can hear the Good News, and find rest for their tired souls!
“For I do not want You, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery – so that you will not be wise in your own estimation – that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; and so all Israel will be saved.” Romans 11:25,26
2. Matthew & Rebecca Smoler – Israel Initiatives
Ministering from Kansas City…
