Why a membership?
We name it membership but the greek word in the New Testament is ekklaesia what means church. It has nothing to do with a building or walls. The better translation is congregation of christians. In the biblical sense it means gathering or meeting of people who accepted Jesus Christ as their personal saviour. This is the only requirement you should fulfill to be a part of this Ministry.
According to the book of acts in chapter 2 vers 42 is the gathering of christians a sign that you belong to the body of christ, his church. It is also meant to be a protection for you and others. In the bible you find from the beginning to the end evidence that you cannot exist without your other bodyparts called brothers and sisters in Christ.
Even the disciples did not travel alone but had at least one companion. As christians we are not successful fighters when we are alone. When we put on the whole armour of God (Ephesians 6 verses 11-17) our back ist not covered and can get injured very easily. We need our brothers and sisters that we can help and protect each other.
But I belong to a church already!
Great, it is biblical to belong to a local church, most of us are involved in church life and those who donīt, we want to encourage to be part of a local church.
We in Lion of Judah Ministries donīt intend to replace them. The body of christ is not limited to a village, city or country... his body, his church is living all over the earth; halleluja!!!
We have brothers and sisters in every nation and continent, most of them are not blessed like we are and they need our help, some are even persecuted and in prison for their faith. But all are part of the big heavenly family and everybody can be a blessing for somebody.
After Jesus went to heaven and sat at his throne as the Lion of Judah, he told his disciples: Go into all the world and preach the Gospel of the kingdom to every creature. (Mark 16, vers 15)
Yes, that the gospel is preached to the end of the earth is a precondition for the return of Jesus Christ (Matthew 24, vers 14). Of course not everbody can quit the job, leave the family and travel around to preach and teach, and we donīt think that Jesus requires this from us all. But through the modern techniques a new church style was born. Borders, nationalities and differences can be overcome by the power of modern Media such as internet etc. - and in the spirit realm there is no distance!

I am too old or too young
Compared to eternity you are very young, even when you are 100 and older,
at the moment our youngest member is 20 and the oldest came 1933 in this world, so... just feel welcome you fit in, no matter where you live or how old you are!

Why exactly twelve?
12 Euros, GBP or USD is more a symbol.
The most important aspect is, that we didnīt want to reject anybody because of not being able to afford it financially. Even a student can afford 1 Euro per month. We trust in the Lord for providing for this/his ministry because with twelve Euros you cannot do a lot in the kingdom.
12 is the number of completion. It also means government or constitutional perfection. Our year has 12 months, 12 mooncycles, day and night has 12 hours each. You find the number 12 in mythology and in many other cultures around the globe.
The number 12 has a biblical meaning as well. You can see it within the whole bible
12 tribes of Israel, at the age of 12 Jesus appeared the first time in public (Luke 2 vers 42)
12 disciples and in future time the heavenly Jerusalem with 12 cornerstones and the beauty with 12 pearls and jewels, 12 gates and so on... the tree of life brings forth fruit 12 times a year.
These are only a few examples and there is a lot to read in sxripture about that holy number. It is supposed to give you a little understanding why
the Holy Spirit whispered 12 in our ears. All what you see and read on these pages is a result of a cooperation with the true GOD thorugh the spiritual input of the Holy Spirit here on earth.
If you have any questions or suggestions for improvements just contact us. We are grateful for every form of help.

Do I have to enter into a commitment?
No! Everything you want to do for Jesus - the Lion of Judah is up to your ability and resources.
The only question for you is now... why not being a supporter or intersessor for this ministry? Please pray, may be it is time to bring this offering to built the kingdom of GOD through this ministry with us...
Be a part of something great, be salt and light, be in this ministry, what the Lord called you to be. We will embrace your calling and we want you to choose his calling, we are unique just like you :-)
Thank you beloved, for thinking about it.
