Jonathan Settel - Musician

I have come to know Denson as a people of integrity. I was present when they got the community together to greet their "Messianic Roots". The presence of the Lord was strong and the Heart of the King was pumping with joy and love for what the Holy Spirit was accomplishing

John Denson has been called to teach the church their Jewish roots and to show the Jewish people who their Messiah really is. I stand with my brother and sister, shoulder to shoulder as they seek to serve the God of Israel through Shalom Ministry.

Rabbi Loren Jacobs - Senior Rabbi of Congregation Shema Yisrael Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

John Denson is a man of good character and integrity and a genuine servant of the Lord. John and his wonderful wife Donna, have a heartfelt love for the Jewish people and a strong and sincere interest in bringing the Good News of the Messiah to the Jewish people first. The God of Israel has been using the Densons to build a bridge between the African-American Christian community in Metro Detroit and the Messianic Jewish community. I value our 15 year long friendship and highly recommend John and Donna to your congregation.

Senior Pastor Leonard Roy Harris Grove Heights Baptist Church, Chicago, IL

I have greatly appreciated the teaching and fellowship with John Denson to our church family. It was not only edifying, but also gave us a renewed vision and burden for proclaiming the gospel to the Jew first. I encourage all pastors and in particular African American pastors to recognize that the Lord has raised-up Brother John for such a time as this to reach the "people of promise" the Jewish people with the gospel of the Messiah. I strongly urge you to contact John and have him speak and share.

I first met John and Donna in 1986 when John was a chapel speaker for the Detroit Lions. This led to a Messianic Bible study for team members at their home. This was a time of discipleship, learning and developing of a real passion for the word of God. I am indebted to the Densons for my life in Christ and my family’s growth in the Lord. They have a deep and feverish love for the Jewish people and I whole- heartedly recommend them to your ministry.

Rabbi Ric Worshill - President of and servant to the Southern Baptist Messianic Fellowship & the Southern Baptist Convention

I am the serving elected President of the Southern Baptist Messianic Fellowship. I am a Jewish believer in Jesua as Messiah. My office represents the members and the Executive Board of the Southern Baptist Messianic Fellowship. We would like to add our endorsement of Rev. John Denson and Shalom Ministries, as a ministry that we recognize without question. I have personally known brother John for several years. I have heard him teach, prayed with him and worked for the common goal of ministering Yeshua Ha’ Mashiach (Jesus the Messiah) to Jewish people. Brother John is a member in good standing with the Southern Baptist Messianic Fellowship. In the time I have come to know John, I have seen his heart for bringing the good news of Salvation to others. John has a fire burning bright within him. The fire in him is the passion to lead others to Yeshua. John illustrates the Word of G-d in accordance with the teachings found in the Word (Isaiah 40:3-5, Romans 1:16-17, Hebrews 10:23-25, 1 Corinthians 12:13). John teaches that we are all running the race for Christ together (Hebrews 12:1-2), one Body, one mind and one spirit. Shalom Ministries will be working to teach brothers and sisters in Christ how to bring life everlasting to Jewish people. Shalom Ministries specializes in teaching our brothers and sisters in the our Black Churches how to minister Christ to Jewish people effectively. There is one Body. We each speak and understand a different language. Brother John and Shalom Ministry teaches how to speak in the language that Jews understand. John has spent a long time learning how to speak truth to my Jewish kinsman. I have witnessed the Life of Christ in brother John. John is my friend and my brother. We work the good work together. I praise G-d for bringing John into my life.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to G-d. Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to G-d the Father. [Colossians 3:15-17 NASU]

The L-rd bless you, and watch over you; The L-rd make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you; The L-rd lift up His countenance on you, And give you peace. [Numbers 6:24-26 NASU]

A brother in Yeshua, servant and bond-servant in our Adonai Yeshua HaMashiach.
