Worship Leaders Transition to Full-Time Ministry Focused on Israel

Tom and Melissa Pollard, a husband-and-wife songwriting duo, have transitioned into full-time ministry as worship missionaries. The couple, who previously served as worship pastors in Reading, UK, aim to equip and train church worship teams while emphasizing the Jewish roots of the Christian faith. Their ministry is heavily influenced by their experiences at 24/7 houses of prayer, specifically Succat Hallel in Jerusalem and the International House of Prayer in Kansas City.

The Pollards state that their work is centered on the "Watchmen" message, which focuses on intercession for Israel and the anticipation of the return of Jesus. Their musical career, which includes the albums "Songs of the Watchmen" and "Army Rising," reflects these themes. Following a hiatus for the birth of their second child, the couple recently returned to public performance at a conference hosted by the Church’s Ministry among Jewish people (CMJ) in Staffordshire. They describe their current calling as a response to divine direction to prioritize prayer, discipleship, and outreach within the UK church.
