About Marcello Araujo
Marcello Araujo was born and raised in a Jewish family in Ecuador, South America.
As he grew up, this nice Jewish boy became a political activist who wanted to change the world through Marxism.
Marcello studied drama and eventually formed a politically-oriented theatre troupe designed to spread the “good news” of the gospel according to Marx. However, in 1992, Marcello heard the true Good News and was transformed by his relationship with Jesus the Jewish Messiah.
Marcello has said, “I wanted to change the world through Marxism, not knowing that God wanted me to be part of His world-changing plan, by sharing His love and the true Gospel, the Gospel of life, the Gospel of Yeshua.”
Today, Marcello uses drama and other creative means to effectively communicate the Good News of Messiah to the lost sheep of Israel.
Chosen People Ministries (Canada) is pleased to have Marcello and his wife, Diana, on our team in the Greater Toronto Area. Together, they bring many years of ministry experience and a passion for Jewish evangelism.
Marcello's Speaking Topics
- Personal Testimony & Call to Jewish Evangelism
… The details of God’s call upon Marcello’s life are a moving testimony to His faithfulness and provision. - The Name of Yeshua
… This message will explore the meaning and office of Yeshua the Messiah as well as the purpose of His first and second comings. - The Gospel in the Feasts of Israel
… Based on Leviticus 23, this message helps explain God’s redemptive plan through the atoning death of Yeshua as revealed through the Fall Feasts. - The Cost of Following Messiah Jesus
… Based on John 9, this message explores the cost a Jewish person must pay when he decides to follow Jesus. It will help you understand why most Jewish people rejected Jesus 2000 years ago and why they do not easily accept Him now. - Messiah in the Passover
… is a meaningful portrait of man’s redemption through Messiah as seen through the vehicle of the traditional Jewish Seder. This program demonstrates how Christ fulfills the eternal plan of salvation for all men and how He instituted the Lord’s Table at the last Passover He celebrated with His disciples. It can be a moving and challenging opportunity to invite people to receive Messiah Jesus as Saviour, Lord and King. There are several ways to present this program, from a simple demonstration with or without a communion service to a full banquet. - Romans 1:16 – A Call to Evangelism
… The Gospel originated in God’s heart before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4). So, the Gospel is the Good News from Good for everyone … to the Jew first and also to the Greek. - Jewish Evangelism Seminar
… How to share the Gospel with your Jewish friends (and others) is a workshop or a presentation that will encourage and equip Gentile believers to share the Good News of Messiah. It is appropriate as a workshop or sermon. - The Righteous Gentile
… The actions of the Roman centurion (Luke 7:1-10), the most feared and brutal professional Roman soldier, prompted Jesus to declare, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.” - The Roots of Communion
… Ideal for a communion service. Isaiah the Prophet declared, “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty.” This is the model for communion with God. A great confession. A moment of restorative cleansing. - Akeda: The Binding of Isaac – Genesis 22
- Love Your Neighbour as Yourself – Leviticus 19:9-18
- I Did Not Come to Abolish the Law – Matthew 5:17
- Israel Lives – Ezekiel 37
- Dramatic Presentations:
- Mime – The Spot
… Window cleaning with a “spot” on the inside that will not come off. Works well with Marcello’s Personal Testimony. [5 minutes] - Mime – The Heart
… He gives his heart to a girl and, after it gets broken, he gives it to the Lord. When she asks for his heart again, he lets her know that it now belongs to Him and she needs to do the same. Goes well with “The Name of Yeshua,” The Cost of Following Messiah Jesus” and Marcello’s Personal Testimony. [ 5 mins] - Sermon with Mime – The Righteous Gentile
… Based on Luke 7, this presentation is about the love a Roman centurion has for the God of Israel and how that love springs into action. It is a powerful and encouraging message for the church to love and minister to Israel.
