TORAH INSTITUTE NOW OPERATING:

A HEBREW ROOTS MESSIANIC WORLD-WIDE COMMUNITY

the site location:  2303 Watterson Trail, Louisville, KY 40299

We've installed a sign for the street, 8 ft. wide, 32 in. high:

  The purpose of this endeavor will always appear right beneath the name:  restoring the lost tribes of Israel (to Yahuah's Covenant).  This should keep us from ever losing sight of the primary objective.

   A kind contribution has been made to buy more chairs for seminars, and other needs for the new location above.  From this launching pad, video recordings of seminars may be uploaded to the web in order for anyone to view them at any time.  Also, your financial support to maintain the bookstore and study areas is needed very much.  This is the Torah Institute project, and Yahuah-willing, it will bear much fruit by making the Truth accessible and understandable to all.  It is located only about a mile (south) from a "Mega-ch-rch", Southeast Christian.

For this worthy cause, make your support payable to LEW WHITE (this way taxation is avoided, it is a gift).

“And those from among you shall build the old waste places. You shall raise up the foundations of many generations. And you would be called the Repairer of the Breach, the Restorer of Streets to Dwell In." Isa/YeshaYahu 58:12

Driven to seek that which was lost, we endeavor to raise up the tribes of Israel to the Torah in these last days, even while in our captivity among the Gentiles.  Our Deliverer will reach to the ends of the Earth to hunt down those who are lost:

"and He says, 'Shall it be a small matter for you to be My servant to raise up the tribes of Ya'aqoḇ, and to bring back the preserved ones of Yisrael?  And I shall give you as a light to the Gentiles, to be My deliverance to the ends of the earth!'"  Isa/YeshaYahu 49:6

 Concerning Further Torah Institute funding:

   As we developed in this ministry of Yahusha about 10 years ago, we realized a physical facility would enable people to learn in a number of ways.  So, we used our savings, the equity in our home, and all of my surplus income to build the facility.  The total property and building cost was 1.5 million dollars, and the debt balance currently owed is comprised of two loans, both totaling less than a third of the original building costs.  The reason there are two loans is because the bank financing was more advantageous to us if we avoided one big “jumbo” loan.  The second mortgage is considered a separate loan, but it is still tied to the original costs of development. The facility costs of any ministry are typically the largest single expense, as is a house for an individual family.

 

   As we began to struggle to meet the monthly costs to keep going (since the economic disaster of 9-11-2001), we appealed to patrons that believed in the work we do for Yahusha to help lift the monthly expenses with us.  A few people have selflessly helped each month since we made our need known.  The only person that receives pay is Shelby;  Phyllis and I receive no payment, but rather I commit my own secular income toward the monthly fixed and variable expenses - which is often not enough to cover things.  Without outside help, we couldn't possibly manage.  The building asset is not owned by me, but rather it is in the name of the corporation, Strawberry Islands, which we formed ten years ago.  I’m turning 59 in a couple of months, and I have no delusions concerning money.  I don’t love money, but it is a tool, like my ten-year-old truck.  I cannot effectively do this work from the middle of a forest of trees, but I would if that is what Yahusha wants of me.  Some are sent to speak from stairways and sidewalks at university campuses, parks, or subways.  I was given the task of using all the assets given to me (physical resources & talents) to bring about a Messianic community that could also reach to the ends of the Earth through books and the Internet.  This has happened, but the work needs help; and that help needs to come from Yahusha’s people.  I’m sorry there is a debt, but if we had waited until we had the money to build, we would still be waiting to get started.  What has been accomplished in the last 10 years is amazing, but we need the push of many more people to keep going.

 

A Comparison:

   The Answers In Genesis project “Creation Museum” is one of my favorite Christian ministries, although they don’t yet realize that all “Ten” of the Ten Commandments are involved in the Covenant with Yahuah, and the restoration of Israel.  They have built a museum filled with dinosaurs near Cincinnati, Ohio that cost over 100 million dollars, and they sell admission to Christians who visit from far and wide.  Their work is focused on dispelling the myth of “evolution”.  Our work is focused on reaching people with the Covenant, so they will engraft into Israel, and worship Yahuah without the spots and wrinkles of Paganism (Sun-day, Ash Wednesday, Easter, Christmas, Halloween, sacraments, steeples, holy water, etc.,).  The cost of our mortgage is the greatest element of our debt, but this is not a circumstance that is unique to us.  A mortgage is the greatest single expense of most ministries.  The Creation Museum is almost completely paid for from funds donated by thousands of Christians.  Our debt is miniscule compared with theirs, but Yahusha is working within both of our organizations, as well as many others around the world. 

Ken Ham (Creation Museum) was called to build a house of dinosaurs, and  we were called to teach the nations the Torah of Yahuah.

Our objective is to be used to restore the lost tribes of Israel to the Covenant of Yahuah here in the last days.
