Who we are

Ariel means Lion of God, and we are blessed to be able to represent Yeshua, Who is our Lion of God, our Redeemer and Messiah. Ariel is also an alternate name for Jerusalem (Isaiah 29; 1, 2, 7), the city of peace, now waiting for the Prince of Peace to return. Ariel Ministries was first established in San Antonio Texas in 1977, by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum, graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary, renowned speaker and author of several books who is its founding Director. Ariel has international branches in Germany, New Zealand and Canada. Its head office is in San Antonio, Texas.

Ariel Ministries Canada

Ariel Ministries Canada was established in 1996 in order to facilitate the ongoing work of evangelism and discipleship in Canada. Since its foundation, the Canadian branch has been involved in many projects, such as door to door evangelism of Jewish homes in Montreal, where close to 900 Old and New Testament Bibles have already been distributed, along with hundreds and tracts and Christian videos. We also have a daily 15 minute radio Bible show «Shalom Ariel! » now airing in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver.

Montreal: WCHP 760am 1:00-1:15pm
Toronto: WDCX-FM 8:15-8:30pm
Vancouver: KARI 550am 8:45-9:00am

We are involved in translation work of Ariel manuscripts into French. We have quarterly newsletters in English and French which provide excellent teaching. We have also established a messianic congregation in Montreal (Beth Ariel Messianic Congregation).

Ariel Canada’s founding director is Jacques Isaac Gabizon, a Jewish believer in Yeshua (Jesus). Born in Morocco and stemming from a long line of Sephardic tradition and rabbinical ancestry, Mr. Gabizon came to faith in Yeshua in 1977 after investigating and accepting the claims of the Old Testament prophets as to Who is the Messiah.

Ariel Ministries holds a strong doctrinal pre-millennial, pre-trib position, recognizing Israel as a separate entity in the plan of God, and defending the Biblical position that God is not through dealing with Israel, nor are His promises for her yet fully fulfilled. We seek to encourage a balanced program of discipleship and evangelism, and recognize that in these “last days” there is a great need for Jewish missions. Yet we cannot accomplish these works on our own, but need our brothers and sisters in the Lord-Jew and Gentile alike-to join and continue with us in this endeavor.
