Elizabeth Mickel-Cassutto founded LightBeacon Ministries in 1996, after she realized that the Church was missing out on its most precious relationship, the Nation of Israel and the Jewish people. In 1997, she was asked to come to the yearly conference of the MJAA, the Messiah conference. Having just published her insightfully prophetic book, Buried Treasure, the MJAA felt she would be a wonderful addition to their Messianic Marketplace.

In the meantime, Ben Cassutto was attending his first Messianic Jewish conference. His parents, were Holocaust survivors from Holland who became believers in Yeshua, (that's Jesus' name in Hebrew), during WWII. Ben's father (Rev Dr. Ernest H. Cassutto), even took his faith a step further and became a minister, and missionary to the Jewish people. In 1974, he published his experiences during the holocaust, entitled, The Last Jew of Rotterdam. Over the years, Ben and his siblings, had gotten many requests for the book, but it was out of print. At the conference, the L-rd had put it on Ben's heart to re-write the book. He also met this wonderful woman at the conference, and was attracted to her colorful book table, her clear love for the Jewish people, and the book she had written. Ben read the book in one night and knew that this woman was to be his wife. Ben was in the US Army at the time and he was going hop on a plane to Okinawa, Japan in the next few days! He got Liz' address, and for eight months they made ATT rich. In Febraury of 1998, Ben proposed Liz while on a vacation, where Liz came to meet him. They were married on 7 June 1998 in Allentown, PA where Liz was residing at the time. During this time, Ben earnestly researched his family experiences during the Holocaust, both in Holland and in the States. His mother, Elisabeth Rodrigues was also a Holocaust survivor from Holland). Finally in September of 2001, The Last Jew of Rotterdam, the revised edition was published by Purple Pomegranite, a division of Jews for Jesus!

Ben and Liz, write a newsletter and plan to have other articles, novels and writing collaborations in the works, all with the aim to spread the good news about "Yeshua" and how it is so important to call upon his name in these "End Times". We hope you will visit our links, and learn more about our ministry and others who are involved in Messianic Judaism or which are dedicated to sharing this good news of "Messiah" to the world.
