Larry Jaffrey, International Ministries         Director

Larry graduated from the University of Minnesota and Denver Seminary. While in school, Larry realized God was calling him to the mission field. To gain ministry experience while in seminary, Larry began doing outreach work with a local Jewish mission in Denver. Though not Jewish himself and having had little previous contact with Jewish people, Larry soon realized Jewish missions was where God was leading him.

Larry's ministry in Jewish evangelism has transcended one of the most exciting periods of Jewish evangelism since the early church. Larry served as a missionary, regional director, and U. S. national director with an internationally known Jewish mission over a span of twenty-six years before joining Light to Israel. During that time, Larry was also very involved in planting a Messianic congregation in the Rockville, Maryland, area.

As International Ministries Director for Light to Israel, Larry oversees the deputation and ministries of the work in the Holy Land. He is recognized as an expert in the field of prophecy and in helping the church understand the Jewish roots of her faith. His wife, Gail is the administrative assistant for the ministry.

Larry and Gail reside in Marshall, Virginia.
