Rebecca is an amazing chef, musician and artist. They both enjoy being outdoors and exercising. To make Chad smile, mention baseball. To make Rebecca smile mention her children or making anything homemade.
Mike and Melissa Mott
Associate Pastor
Mike & Melissa and their two children, Joshua and Abby, are originally from Colorado, but they’re no strangers to Israel! Mike and Melissa lived in Israel for over 10 years, had both of their children here and were very involved in the community at King of Kings and other local ministries. We were so sad to see them leave Israel for awhile, but overjoyed to have them back and on our team! Their love for community, familes, worship and the Jewish people is evident in everything that they do.
Ray and Nyki Ramirez
Worship and Assistant Pastor
Ray, Nyki and their three children joined our team in 2017 when Ray became an Assistant Pastor and the Worship Director for King of Kings Ministries. Prior to that, Ray had served as a Worship Leader for King of Kings Community since 2014. Ray and Nyki have lived in Israel since 2007, originally serving on the staff of the ICEJ, where Ray directed the music and production of the ICEJ’s annual Feast of Tabernacles celebration. Ray’s passion is in developing and growing a community of Messiah-centered, Spirit-empowered, influential leaders who practice a lifestyle of worship. He desires to use his experience, knowledge and gifting to expand the Kingdom of God and to bring worship from Jerusalem to believers worldwide.
