(that they are saying) We're here to convert you,' even to the rabbi sitting next to him." "We were portrayed as Jews who believe in Jesus and that is certainly accu- rate," Jacobs told The Jewish News. "That communicates more than `Shema Yisrael' at this point. So I think that it's even more up front." Shema Yisrael. is "an evangelistic ministry (formed) to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ with an em- phasis towards Jewish people," according to the group's articles of incorpora- tion, filed with the state of Michigan on June 23. The report lists as Shema Yis- rael's activities: "Evangelism, churCh-planting activities, teaching Bible studies, fun- draising as needed." Loren Jacobs, Harold Brickner and Mark Kinzer are listed as co-directors. Jacobs himself offered a variation on his group's pur- pose and activities. Shema Yisrael, he said, was "formed to tell people about Jesus, both Jews and Gentiles." Its goal is to start a "syna- gogue." Its activities include handing out literature on the streets, making television appearances and "for those who are interested, teach them the scriptures." Once on the national board of "Jews For Jesus," Jacobs, who came to Detroit only re- cently, says his current group is unaffiliated with other organizations, locally or na- tionally. Despite this assertion, his group's brochures and flyers are identical with Jews for Jesus materials. Jacobs described his group as "a gathering of Messianic Jews who meet on Friday nights." These meetings take place in a room in the Oak Park Community Center, reserved by the Northwest Fellowship, an apparently ad hoc group. About 30 people reportedly attend regularly. "Northwest Fellowship has been renting that room for awhile," Jacobs explained, "and Haskell (Stone) has been teaching on Friday nights in Oak Park for years, so basically they're just con- tinuing to rent the room." According to Allan Gale, that Friday night congrega- tion is only half-Jewish. "So it's really an evangelical con- gregation that welcomes Jews." When Kelly & Company, under pressure from local Jews, approached the Jewish Community Council to suggest someone to appear on the program for balance, the Council proposed Rev. Lyons.
