How long do we have to live in Florida before we can consider ourselves a part of this great state? As some of you may know my family and I have been in Florida since the first of December and have enjoyed the mild winter, the unique wildlife, and meeting various with various messianic communities. We are living amongst the thousands of snowbirds that have migrated in their RV’s here to avoid the cold winters of the North. Although we are much younger than most our fellow migrates, admittedly I have played a couple of rounds of shuffleboard and have participated in many early morning walks in and out of the columns of hundreds of RV’s.
We have enjoyed our time here and we will soon be leavening with new friends and an informed yet limited glimpse of the Messianic community here—we plan to come back next year for a similar time of stay. As we leave we will be having several opportunities to share. All of these will be posted on the FFOZ website. By the time that you receive this letter I am sure many of the dates will be listed.
The main seminar will be held in Sarasota on Sunday March 18th. For this event we will be flying Daniel Lancaster and Toby Janicki in to share in the presentation. All of us will be spending the weekend with the hosting community. Sharing on Shabbat, having an outreach oriented “Restoration” seminar after the Sabbath on Saturday evening, and then a full day discipleship oriented seminar on Sunday entitled, “To Whom Shall We Go? Examining Objections to Yeshua.” Please see the event section for these brochures for your review. If you would like to join us at these events and would like additional information please contact the hosts Gary and Shirley Beresford at Rabbiglberesford(AT)aol(DOT)com you are also able to get additional contact information at their site: www.ohryeshua.org
Thank you for sharing this beautiful state with voyagers like us. We have enjoyed our time here. Check our site for all of the places that our family will be on our way to out next destination (Minnesota). I would be great to get a chance to meet you, say goodbye or make contact.
With this all new Hebrew learning resource you can get started in learning Hebrew and drawing ever nearer to the Jewish Messiah as you master the Hebrew alphabet

Shalom Michael Family,
It was a pleasure to have your family in our Torah Time class at Beit Yisrael Congregation Orlando. I just had the opportunity to listen to the message since we are the Torah Time Class teachers. What a blessing the message of being a peacemaker and keeping unity in the body. I have been asking the Lord what theme He would want taught to the kids at this Shavuot and I do believe He has answered. James 3:18 "Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness."
I thank the Lord for giving you this message to share with us.
Blessings,
David & Joanne Beatty

Greetings Michael & FFOZ Family,
A million thanks for the conference here in Sarasota. Our home fellowship group and I were again truly blessed by the entire message.
Since March 18th some of us are actually carrying the "Unique and Incomprehensible" white papers everywhere we go! I/We always want to be ready to share about the "Nature of God.." The depth and the width of this teaching has brought such balance to what I/we had previously been taught. Thank you isn't enough.
You had asked for feedback so here are some thoughts.
The Greek vs. Hebraic mindset is very clear to me. Between this and the "Unique" topic I truly feel equiped to share these teachings in a very balanced way to others in the believing community. Some accept and some do not.
My heart was grieved to have heard some of the comments at the conference. So many not interested in going deeper with God. Is it the cares of this world?
Myself and my group remain steadfast in studying Torah Club 5 and beyond. We are not satiated in learning more about God's Torah! Just last week we had a believer come to our fellowship for the first time and we were able to share this treasure with her! She accepted it with so much gratitude and a sincere desire for more. We gave her the Restoration book. Pray for April, that God's truth would remain! Please do not stop teaching these messages...for they truly are life changing. Sarasota was truly blessed for you'all visiting. Again, a million thanks for having come to Florida.
Shalom,
