Christopher Kuehl: Chris was born in Boulder, Colorado. He lived in Israel for many years and returns frequently. He worked at Sony, and Rolling Stone Magazine as a photographer and has also been a founder of four different technology companies over the last decade. During his first stay in Israel, more than a decade ago, the Lord spoke to him about a bridge that He wanted to build between Israel and the Church. Chris had no idea what this meant at the time or how long it would take to bring to fruition, but a decade later Chris is answering the call to be a part of this bridge. Chris is married to his lovely wife, Justice. They have just welcomed their first son into the world. Besides being the COO of Restore7, Chris is also the founder of Present Witness, an organization that addresses modern theological questions and challenges as it relates to Israel and the Jewish people. He is also currently earning his Masters degree in Theology.

John Myers was born and raised in a Reform Jewish family in Williamsport, PA. He was part of the counterculture of the 1960’s, dropping out of numerous universities and colleges, wandering through the Balearic Islands south of Spain, the North Shore of Oahu, and Berkeley, CA, living a life of substance abuse and immorality. In 1972, he became a follower of Yeshua (Jesus). Over the next 20 years, Yeshua led him on a journey from hippy to bank president, from broken, ungodly relationships to the care of a wife and six children. In 1992, John, his wife Dariel, and five of their six children immigrated to Israel and settled in Jerusalem, where John founded and led a congregation of believers in Yeshua. In John’s words, “The Israel Story is a distillation of life lessons learned (often the hard way) walking with Yeshua, upheld by His mercy and grace, and the message God has given me about His plan, purpose, and love for the Jewish people, the nation of Israel, and all of mankind.”
