Ariel Ministries
![]() |
Ariel Ministries, created to evangelize and disciple our Jewish brethren, has been born from necessity to meet an urgent need. Ariel means “Lion of God,” representing the Messiah Yeshua as the Lion of Judah. It is also an alternate name for Jerusalem (Isaiah 29:1) — the city of peace now waiting for the Prince of Peace to return. It was in Jerusalem, in 1966, that a burning seed of desire was planted in the heart of Arnold Fruchtenbaum. On December 1, 1977, in San Antonio, Texas, Ariel Ministries was born and the seed began to bloom. You can checkout Arnold Fruchtenbaum’s biography at the Ariel Ministries website. |

Gary Horton - American Freedom Assembly
![]() |
Using humor, honesty and a hard-hitting approach, Gary Horton, missionary to American schools, has entertained and inspired young audiences in more than 8,000 high school and junior-high school assemblies across the United States since 1978. To Gary, the phrase "one nation under God..." is more than simply words in the Pledge of allegiance. Underlying those words is Gary’s understanding of his personal relationship to God through Jesus Christ His Son, and how such a relationship can motivate each of us to accomplish great things for ourselves and our country. |

Olivier serves as regional director for Chosen People Ministries in Washington state with his wife Ellen. They have two children, J.D. and Anne-Claire.

Olivier and Ellen both have a strong burden to reach Jewish people for the Messiah. Olivier’s mission is to aid Christians in understanding the Jewish people, and to train them to be effective in Jewish evangelism.
