Eitan Shishkoff and his wife Connie lived on hippie communes in northern New Mexico during the early '70s. In 1972 Eitan found the Messiah through a dramatic vision of His crucifixion, and soon after returned to his Jewish roots as a believer in Yeshua (Jesus).
In 1992 the Shishkoff family moved to Israel, settling in the northern Haifa Bay area. There Eitan founded Tents of Mercy (Ohalei Rachamim) as a Hebrew-speaking Messianic community and humanitarian aid center. Tents of Mercy has since grown to a network of five inter-related congregations.
Eitan serves as founding director of “Katzir” (Harvest), a national youth ministry which sponsors conferences for Israeli Messianic teens from over 40 local congregations. These events led him to envision “Fields of Wheat,” a soon-to-be-established nation-wide equipping center. Located in the Galilee, the center will host Jewish and Arab believers through camps, discipleship training, con-ferences, retreats, and celebrations.
Eitan is the author of, What About Us? The end-time calling of Gentiles in Israel’s revival.
Eitan and Connie have been married for 52 years and have been blessed with 4 children, their spouses, and 11 grandchildren.
