Who We Are

Bob & Jacquie are our spiritual leaders here are Tree of Life Tabernacle. 

Bob & Jacquie have led worship services for numerous Messianic Jewish congregations and Hebrew Roots congregations over the years. They’ve founded several Messianic home fellowships and congregations across the United States, served with Paul Wilbur during the 1990s, served on the advisory council of well-known Messianic organizations, written numerous original Messianic songs, and to this day serve the Lord through  fellowship.

Jacquie and I were both saved by Yeshua and baptized in the Holy Spirit as teenagers. We met at a prayer meeting, and a year later we married and through His leadership we continued in the faith.

We left Christmas and Easter behind seeking His ways and shortly afterward found truth within the Feasts of the Lord. We became Messianic believers, finding His truth within the entire Bible and are finding out how His whole Word works together!

We have a history as music leaders, children's pastors, congregational pastors and founders, and now oversee Messianic Ministries. We love Yeshua, we love to worship, we love to obey Him, give to others and help His body. In Him we have life, and only through Him are we One together!

I, Bob, found out I was Jewish in my late 30’s, (I was adopted), but Jacquie and I were both were raised Catholic, we left Catholicism, became part of non-denominational Christianity and then became Messianic. We had four children and now have fourteen grandchildren.

 Jesse serves as leader of Tree of Life tabernacle, a second-generation congregational leader following in the footsteps of his parent Bob & Jacquie Himango who have planted many churches and messianic synagogues throughout their still active careers. God has placed serving the body through teaching and worship on Jesse. He enjoys sharing the Word to both Jewish and Gentile believers in the Messiah of Israel and to worship Him in both Spirit and Truth (John 4:23-24). 

Isaiah 2:3 Many gentiles will go and say, "Come, let’s go up to the mountain of Adonai, to the house of the God of Ya`akov! He will teach us about his ways, and we will walk in his paths." For out of Tziyon will go forth Torah, the word of Adonai from Yerushalayim. 

Jesse serves with his wife Samantha of 17 years, together they share a desire to spread the truth and bring the beauty of Messianic Jewish music to the local community through praise and worship every Shabbat! They have five children, Laila, Rachel, David, Noah & Nasyah. Jesse & Samantha have been serving the Lord together since early on in their marriage functioning in many roles throughout the years. Jesse works a full-time job outside of the ministry and the two work together within the ministry without charge, as a labor of love for the Messiah! 

 Saul is a husband and father of 3 children. Him and his wife Brianna are blessed with being the parents to 2 silly little girls and 1 baby boy. Saul's #1 ministry priority is for evangelism/discipleship.

Since childhood he was always hungry for a relationship with God but growing up in a Roman Catholic background, he experienced what he felt was a spiritually dead environment. With no sign of a living God truly interacting with his people and many hard questions he could not find answers for; his doubts grew even more serious as a teeanger. Following God felt more like a religious checklist than a relationship and in his final years of high school he fell into a suicidal depression.

But in 2013 when Saul had no hope, he experienced the loving presence of almighty God while he was visiting a Non-denominational/charismatic church. So he gave his life to the Lord that day, went through discipleship, and has since never stopped living for God.

Over the years, as he grew in relationship with Yeshua and understanding of the scriptures he was spiritually led to the Messianic movement where he could worship God in spirit & in complete truth of his entire word. Though he was a seasoned believer, he was discipled again but this time under a Messianic congregation. It was at this time he also received a Messianic discipleship diploma and a certificate on crash course in Jewish History from Judaic Studies Institute. 

Now as a fellow servant at Tree of Life Tabernacle, he is extremely passionate about spreading the good news of Yeshua to both Jew & Gentile. He has also helped create a 10 week Foundations Discipleship to help those unfamiliar with the Messianic movement walk into obedience and understanding of the gospel in a much easier path than he did.
