Biography
Justin Kron became a follower of Jesus at a young age and grew up with one foot in the Jewish world and one foot in the Christian world, and has subsequently developed a passion to acquaint Christians with the Jewish roots and heritage of the Christian faith, and to become better equipped and engaged in living an authentic faith among their Jewish friends and neighbors.
Since 1998 Justin has served as a National Ministries Representative with Chosen People Ministries and is the founder and director of eXperience Israel, a short-term ministry and spiritual pilgrimage program for young adults. He is also the founder and coordinator of the Kesher Forum in Chicago, an interdenominational learning community for those who are interested in learning more about Jewish culture and building bridges with their Jewish friends and neighbors.
Justin has served with the Danny Byram Ministries, a concert ministry to the U.S. military, and as an Area Manager with Promise Keepers in Chicago, where he represented the organization as the national liaison to the Messianic Jewish community. Justin studied at the Moody Theological Seminary and is a frequent contributor to various blogs and radio programs on topics related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, historic antisemitism, and the Jewishness of Jesus. Justin and his wife, Judy, who is an announcer and producer with Moody Radio, and their daughters and son live in the suburbs of Chicago.

Testimonials
“Justin led our church in a Messianic Passover celebration that was a really great experience for all of us. He was not only able to communicate clearly the significance of the various symbols and ceremonies in the Passover meal, but to do so with a passion for Jesus that was contagious. Justin was even able to adapt his regular program effectively to our multicultural crowd.”
“Justin has come to several of The Traveling Team IT Projects to lead our students through the Passover Seder. Every year his presentation is rated by our students as one of the top presentations of the summer. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the Seder meal and how it relates to and reveals the life and ministry of Jesus. It has been an honor to get to know him over the years, and I would encourage anyone and everyone to have him in to teach on the Jewish roots of Christianity.”
“Justin’s presentation was professional, yet very easy to understand, with a sprinkling of humor, but also a reverent worshipful attitude.”
“We got much more than we could have hoped for as he broadened our perspective by helping us look at the Bible through a Hebraic cultural lens. I’m so grateful for Justin and his mission to churches around the world. I would strongly recommend him to any church or Christian organization. Second only to visiting Israel in person, Justin is most definitely the next best thing. You will never read the bible the same again!”
