En el verano de 1999, Steve and Candace McCarthy made a call to Rabbi Dennis Richards, asking if he would be willing to start a Bible study in their home. El estudio que se inició con 6-8 individuos crecieron rápidamente en un grupo de 18-20.
Eleven months after the study started, ARIEL the congregation opened its doors on May 5, 2000 – well, sort of.
Estábamos alquilar espacio en el Blue Lake Elementary en DeLand. As we continued to grow, we decided that we needed to rent a congregation space for more room and less work on the Shabbat. We then moved into Holy Presence Episcopal Church, located in DeLand. While at Holy Presence, we continued to grow, and YHVH provided another space at Living Waters Church on Graves in Orange City, Florida.
During this time, Rabbi Paul Falk was ordained and ministries were growing. Empezamos un programa Mitzvah y un programa para niños. Un Shabat, la propiedad de al lado se puso a disposición para la venta. YHVH intervened, and with a good amount of elbow grease, we transformed it into a congregational building. Poco después de la compra del edificio, we were blessed with the ability to completely pay off the loan and operate with no debt.
Hemos crecido espiritualmente, físicamente, y étnicamente. We were a congregation made of individuals from diverse cultures and different religious backgrounds, todo como Abraham buscando el único y verdadero Dios. We shared a vision and a heart for YHVH and his Torah. Our journey to learn to love YHVH has changed all of our lives. In time, we grew to fill the walls, and YHVH opened another door during the recession in the form of a building addition. Dentro 8 months of moving back into the renovated space, tuvimos suerte de nuevo para estar libre de deudas.
El nuevo edificio trajo nuevas habilidades. We now had a website and were recording & uploading teachings. También tuvimos la capacidad de utilizar un proyector de datos durante el servicio. La semana que comenzamos a utilizarlo, un grupo de personas sordas vino a visitarnos. Pronto, deaf classes were being offered, and blessings were being adapted into sign language. Los servicios son ahora interpretadas en español y en ASL para nuestros hermanos y hermanas sordos. We are now looking to record our teachings in English, Español, y ASL, in the hope of providing teachings and support to our fellow brothers and sisters locally and beyond. We look forward to utilizing all technological mediums to help support and disciple those who YHVH calls into our fold.
