Our Ministry's Mission

On July 1, 2010, Steve Martin left the third ministry he had worked for in the past 24 years (5 years – Vision for Israel – Barry and Batya Segal; 14 years – Mahesh and Bonnie Chavda Ministries/All Nations Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, and 8 years total – Derek Prince Ministries (Ft. Lauderdale and Charlotte). Some were simultaneous years.

Under the direction of the Lord Jesus, my wife Laurie and I co-founded a new ministry. We called it Love For His People, officially formed in April 2010, primarily to bless the Jews of Israel, and specifically the believers within the nation – those who have come to acknowledge that Yeshua is the Messiah, HaMashiach.

As non-Jews, Gentiles, goyim, Christian Zionists (whatever label we have!), we began the organization/ministry to stand strong for the Jewish state of Israel, Yisrael – the Land of Israel. In this world, with nations continually becoming more anti-Semitic daily, we have been called, as the prophetic word in 2004 was spoken over us, as a “scepter for Israel.”

Our heart’s desire is to do our part in speaking up for those who, for centuries, experienced nothing more than “hate” in the “name of Christ”, from so-called Christians. That included Adolf Hitler himself, who used Martin Luther’s last completely inerrant days, of non-Scriptural theology, to espouse Replacement Theology. This totally wrong belief is that the “Christian church” has replaced Israel as the one receiving the promises of the God of Israel. Today, it remains totally inaccurate, both historically and spiritually.

The Jews had been given, and on many occasions even bought, the land of Israel, which they have now returned to. That includes all of Jerusalem.

We are also committed, as Christians, to help Jews make “aliyah” and return to their homeland. As Scripture states in Isaiah 49:22, “Thus says the Lord God, 'Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations and set up My standard to the peoples; And they will bring your sons in their bosom, And your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.”

Through contributions and Steve's accounting services, we continue to provide resources each year, and through the provision of the Lord, we spread His love (ahava) and peace (shalom). We invite you to join our ongoing efforts, which are outlined below.

Love For His People Ministry supports Israel through friendship, encouragement, and meaningful visits. Join us in our journey to promote love and solidarity.
