THE SABBATH
Jane Diffenderfer was radically born again into the Kingdom of God in 1983, as a young wife and new mom, by the preaching of a traveling evangelist. In 1994, Jane became “born again, again” when the LORD revealed His Name, His Torah, and the Hebraic nature of the faith of Messiah Yeshua. With the scales removed from her eyes, she embraced the New Covenant written on heart according to Jer. 31:31 and Hebrews 8:8. As a result, Messianic Home magazine was created by middle TN families and published for nine years with the purpose of building up Biblical families. The Diffenderfer family met in homes as Lamb Fellowship, which grew into a full congregation in 2005, ministering to multitudes in the greater Nashville area. Today it is a vibrant gathering of like-­minded saints that meets under the leadership of Jane’s son, John Diffenderfer. Jane has worked to create additional ministries including Chayah Praise Dance Ministry, Hebraic Roots Network, and Women of Valor, a ministry restoring the Hebraic role for women and revealing their calling as God's female image bearers. Jane is a veteran home school mother of nine children, with over thirty years of experience teaching in the tutorial mode.
