Robert Specter
|
Robert Specter, President of Rock of Israel, was born in the country of Haiti to missionaries, and raised on the foreign mission field. Robert's father, Hyman grew up as an orthodox Jew. As a young adult, Hyman had found that Jesus is the Messiah and wanted to tell it to the whole world.
As a young man, Robert traveled by bicycle 8000 miles "Pedaling for Christ" and since then has traveled to Europe, Russia, Israel, Brazil, and Argentina. This has given him a global perspective. He says his travels and experience point to one overriding belief or philosophy, "We must trust God's work in every area of our lives."
In 1981 Robert received a Bachelor of Business Administration Degree and has augmented his education with courses from Fuller Theological Seminary. In 1992, after ministering 13 years on staff, Robert was appointed President by the Rock of Israel's Board of Directors. God then called Robert to move the Rock of Israel's headquarters from California to Ohio in December 1993.
Robert has officiated Passover Seders, and ministers in churches with the call to evangelize both "the Jew first and also to the Greek" (Rom. 1:16). He has led ministry teams in street witnessing in several different cities. He has planned and taught at several seminars on Jewish Ministry and held workshops at conferences and conventions. Robert resides in the greater Cincinnati area with his wife, Carrie and children Rebecca, Rachel, Daniel and Sarah.
