Kimberly Otero was raised in a strong believing household and speaks often of her parents’ commitment to instill godly values and character. Unlike most young people who did not come to knowledge of Yeshua until they had satisfied their flesh and sowed their wild oats, Kim has dedicated her life to serving the Messianic community even from a young age. She was blessed to flourish in one of the oldest Messianic synagogues in the United States and even attended a Messianic Jewish day school, one of only three in the world at the time!Kim’s desire to learn more about her Messiah in His Jewish context continued to burn brightly, and sensing the Lord’s leading, she went to college, graduating with a degree in Jewish Studies and Political Science from Florida Atlantic University. Afterward, she worked at a Messianic television ministry for 16 years called Jewish Jewels. During that time, Kim continued to serve the community of God, teaching and leading the youth, sisterhood, bar and bat mitzvah students, dance teams, etc. Looking back, she could see God’s hand of preparation for the big responsibilities ahead—assisting her husband in shepherding their own Messianic congregation, Tzur Yisrael (Rock of Israel) Messianic Congregation and teaching in her own ministry, The Outpouring. Kim has just begun recording a new podcast series on all 150 Psalms and will upload the first one on October 20.

Ann Hancock Interview
Ann was raised in an Irish Catholic home. As a very young girl, she was intrigued by one of her neighbors, a holocaust survivor. Her mother had compassion on this woman and she told Ann to bring her lunch every Saturday for about two years. After visiting a church and having a disappointing experience, her brother told her that she needed to get involved with Messianic believers. Also one of her dear friends told her she needed to be in a Messianic congregation. Her friend went on the computer and looked up the closest congregation, which was Mishkan David Congregation in Rhode Island (Rabbi Brian and Sue Samuel). When Ann got to the parking lot and heard the worship music, she was overcome with emotion and just cried because the presence of the Lord was so strong. It’s now been 12 years and Ann knows she’s exactly where she belongs. Ann has many artistic talents, and also runs an Airbnb in Millbury, Massachusetts, which is about a half hour from Mishkan David Congregation.
