“I have had an increasing burden for Jewish evangelism that has been heightened over the last two years since my trip to Israel. His comments on his being led to serve with Jewish Awareness Ministries at the time was instructive. Ken trip to Israel with Jewish Awareness Ministries in 2011 reignited his first love. The only Jewish man in that small town later trusted Jesus after years of Ken’s witness. His personal burden for Jewish evangelism never left him. He led the church to support a Jewish missionary from the start. For the next 20 years he was the pastor of Northern Neck Baptist Church in Callao, VA.
Ken became the associate pastor of a church in southern Florida for 8 years. Ken and Layne would serve with that Jewish mission in Hollywood, FL for two years. He and Layne became avid witnesses for the Messiah Jesus on the boardwalk of Atlantic City and in the suburbs. Ken and Layne were participants of the team that summer through a collaborative agreement with another Jewish mission board. Mark Robinson first met Ken in 1983 when he directed a summer training ministry in Atlantic City, NJ for another Jewish mission agency. He is no stranger to the doctrine and philosophy of Jewish Awareness Ministries and is fully in agreement with it. Ken has been serving with Jewish Awareness Ministries since July 2014.
On October 16, 2021, Ken Overby will become the new Executive Director of Jewish Awareness Ministries.
