The 4th LCJE CEO Conference was held at St. Chrischona, Basel, 27-31 May 2013. The venue was the Pilgermission St. Chrischona, set in beautiful surroundings in what is called the "Three Countries' Corner" where Germany, France and Switzerland meet. It is home today to a theological seminary and also has a long and rich history with respect to Jewish evangelism, especially in Jerusalem. Participants included executives and leaders of organizations, congregations and churches who are involved in Jewish evangelism and ministry who are members of LCJE (individual or agency members), as well as their spouses.
There were 37 participants in this CEO Conference. Topics included: "The Social and Political Context of Jewish Mission," "Issues in Israel," "The Internet and Other Media," "Women in (Jewish) Ministry," "The Next Generation and LCJE," and "LCJE and the Future." Other topics covrered areas such as: communicating with donors, reactions to a recent reconciliation initiative, "What's in a Name?" - dealing with issues related to replacement theology and supersessionism, and the importance and relationship of academic work to Jewish evangelism.

The CEO Conference in France
The third LCJE CEO conference took place in Lumières,
Provence, France from 18-22 May, 2009. A little over 40
persons gathered to listen and to learn from each other
during sessions in the conference room and outside in
informal conversation. It all happened in a very good
atmosphere.
The main topics for the presentations and the
discussions during the three full days were:
“What is at stake? Theology and missiology.”
“Money, recruitment, and training.”
“Means and material for Jewish evangelism.”
Gary Hedrick of the Christian Jew Foundation Ministries
conducted the three Bible studies on themes from 1
Timothy. The decision to have the conference was made in
Lake Balaton in 2007, in connection with the 8th
International LCJE conference.
During the opening session, LCJE's president, Tuvya
Zaretsky, reminded the participants of why we had
gathered: “We are here because you, as mission leaders, asked
your ICC to arrange this consultation. We are here to
serve the Lord's plan for Jewish evangelism. We are
here to seek and acquire the Lord's knowledge for the
purposes of Jewish evangelism. We are here to serve
the cause of Jewish evangelism together. And we are
here to share with one another, study together, stimulate
one another, and strategize on a global scope how we
can contribute together to further the mission of Jewish
evangelism. Let us put the fear of the Lord at the heart of
everything that we are here to do. And let us use this
time to encourage one another to the end that Jewish
people will be saved.”
In this issue of the LCJE Bulletin, we bring some of the
approximately 30 papers and contributions given during
the conference. Most of these can also be found at
LCJE's website (www.lcje.net).
In July, LCJE AustalAsia held a very successful
conference in Sydney, Australia. In the next issue of the
Bulletin we will have more on that event.
