New York Gospel Mission to the Jews

Visão geral

New York Gospel Mission to the Jews was founded in 1895 by Dr. Bernard Angel. He was the graduate of a German rabbinical school. Upon graduation he forsook his religious career to pursue journalism in Paris. When he wanted to further his career in England, his parents convinced him to go to New York City because they were afraid of the Christian influences in England. While in New York City his aristocratic wife attended some Christian ladies meetings and came to Christ. She was instrumental in leading her husband to the Lord.
It is one of the oldest missions in Manhattan. Dr. Angel died in 1929, and his daughter Ruth became the director of the work. In 1944 the mission purchased the five-story building at 149 Avenue B, and named it Angel Memorial House after the founders.
