Rev. Craig & Lauri Hartman
Shalom Ministries, Inc. 

Shalom Ministries, Inc. was founded in 1996 and born out of a need to reach the 2 million Jewish people of the New York metropolitan area.  New York, which has been largely neglected, has the greatest population of Jewish people for any given city in the world.  Our New York based ministry has been stirred to challenge churches to have a burden for and develop an outreach to the Jewish people in their communities.

Craig Hartman, Founder and Director of Shalom Ministries, Inc., is a New York attorney and gifted communicator with a God given vision to reach his people with the Gospel.  Born of Jewish parents and reared in the Bronx and Queens, Craig has developed an effective outreach to the Jewish people in the New York area.

Though based in New York, the Hartman's ministry is not limited to this area.  They endeavor to reach out to the Jewish people through local churches worldwide and work very closely with those churches in training their members in Jewish evangelism and in understanding the customs and culture of their Jewish friends.

Understanding the Jewishness of Christianity will better equip the believer to have an in-depth comprehension of his Bible and to be a more effective witness among his Jewish friends.  Shalom Ministries, Inc. provides such insights through preaching and teaching in local churches, church conferences, Bible studies, and Jewish feast demonstrations.
