Dean Chariker was born in Israel and raised in a religious Jewish home. After a dramatic and supernatural encounter with Yeshua (Jesus), Dean read the New Testament for the first time and discovered the Messiah. The Lord then planted a deep passion within Dean to share the gospel with Jewish people, which has only grown stronger since joining Jews for Jesus as a missionary in 2019 and serving in India with the Massah program. Dean and Miriam married in May 2021, and shortly after their wedding, the newlyweds joined both the American and Israeli Massahs. Dean is now co-leader of the Massah program and is leading a group of Israeli believers who just finished their army tenure to share the gospel with Israeli backpackers in Peru. He is also helping to host events and art shows at the Moishe Rosen Center and is helping to pilot a project for a café and community center near Tel Aviv University. Dean is passionate about sharing the gospel with Israeli young adults so that they can experience Yeshua’s life-changing power and love for themselves.
