I want to commend to you Amy Downey and Tzedakah Ministries. Amy Downey was reared in a pastor’s home and saw the church from the inside-out. And she stayed. Her ministry is a reflection of her heart for God, His Chosen People, and His Grafted-in People. Amy is a servant of the Lord and His people who possesses and demonstrates impeccable integrity. She is a student, scholar, and teacher who gives out the truth of God’s Word with a passion for equipping the whole church to reach the Jewish People with the gospel of Jesus the Messiah. Her ministry will bring a dimension of ministry to your congregation that will bless you. I wholeheartedly commend Amy Downey and Tzedakah Ministries.
Dr. Ted Elmore (Pastor, Calvary Baptist Church, Harlingen, TX)
Our church was mightily blessed by Amy Downey and Tzedakah Ministries. The message was loud and clear, and no less than mightily convicting. I wholeheartedly commend this ministry to the local church. If you and your church have not thought of the Jew at all in your evangelistic efforts, then you better re-think your evangelistic enterprise.
James T. Cater (Pastor, North Palm Baptist Church, Palm Springs North, Florida)
The Lord said about Paul, “for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles.” I am blessed to be able to say the same about a devout Gentile named Amy Downey, “for she is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before my people, the children of Israel.” I have known Amy for over thirty years and her life and ministry through Tzedakah Ministries is a testament to her Lord. I am simply excited in having an opportunity to share in the work of Tzedakah Ministries and Jewish evangelism
Dr. Dennis Parish (Dennis Parish Ministries, Conroe, TX)
Tzedakah Ministries is being mightily used of the Lord to open the eyes of the Body of Christ to the urgent need for Jewish evangelism! We highly recommend this ministry to the local church!
Mark Haney, Pastor of Harvest Fellowship Church (Leedey, OK)
As I began preparing to teach a study on the Jewish Feasts, I heard about Tzedakah Ministries. Amy then came and spoke at our annual Ladies’ Luncheon. Amy has dedicated her life to working with the Jewish community, and I soon learned how knowledgeable she is. Her desire to introduce the Jewish people to the Messiah displays her deep faith and sincere love for Christ. She was a tremendous help to me as well as a great encourager. I am grateful for her knowledge of Jewish culture and have been blessed by her encouragement and her gifts as a speaker and teacher.
Carol Smith, Ladies Ministry Teacher/Facilitator, Fisherville Baptist Church (Eads, TN)
Pastor, anyone who listens to your preaching probably knows a lot about ancient Judaism, but is your congregation equipped to carry on a conversation with modern Jews about Jesus? Dr. Amy Downey is the leading Evangelical voice to help your church understand Judaism after Maimonides. From her deep well of historical and theological knowledge to her own stories of sharing the gospel with Jews, Dr. Downey presents evangelistic training that will make her and Tzedakah Ministries an important partner for your church’s evangelism ministry.”
Dr. Bart Barber, Pastor of First Baptist Church and President of the Southern Baptist Convention (Farmersville, TX)
I highly recommend Tzedakah Ministries. Dr. Amy Downey, who is the President/Director of Tzedakah Ministries, took the time to witness to me about Jesus during a time when I was antagonistic toward Tzedakah Ministries. Amy Downey truly demonstrates the grace of God. Being a missionary is not just a job for her, but a calling because of her heart’s desire for the salvation of the lost. I am also impressed by her knowledge of Judaism which enables her to reach Jewish people with the Good News of Jesus the Messiah. To this day, Tzedakah Ministries and Amy Downey are an encouragement to me in my walk with God.
