Word of Messiah Ministries

What Word of Messiah Ministries does

Word of Messiah Ministries is a US-based faith-based non-profit organization headquartered in Charlotte, NC, founded in 1996 by Sam and Miriam Nadler. The ministry trains Messianic leaders to plant and develop congregations in Jewish communities worldwide, and explicitly positions itself as the only organization focused on this specific niche. Its core offerings include quarterly Developing Healthy Messianic Congregations (DHMC) conferences, Boot Camps for prospective planters, marriage conferences, and the Messianic Marriage Matters online video course priced at $99.95, alongside a 147-product online bookstore (books, e-books, PDFs, audio, video, DVDs) and a library of teaching series distributed via YouTube, Vimeo, and Apple Podcasts.

The business is operated by a six-person team with no proprietary technology platform. Distribution is multi-channel: a WooCommerce storefront for direct product sales with AfterShip order tracking, an online course platform with Wistia-hosted video, scheduled speaking engagements at US churches, quarterly conferences offered both online and in-person, and a Robly-powered email newsletter. Revenue is generated through three streams: one-time product sales, conference and course registration fees, and donations collected via PayPal. The customer base spans Messianic congregation planters and leaders (primary), churches seeking Messianic Jewish education, women in ministry programs led by Miriam Nadler, and Messianic believers seeking discipleship resources.

Word of Messiah Ministries has conducted conferences throughout North and South America, Israel, and Europe, and reports having planted or helped develop hundreds of Messianic congregations over four decades. The organization is privately held, has no parent company, no disclosed institutional investment, and no public revenue or budget disclosure; it operates primarily on donations supplemented by product and conference revenue.
