In 1981, Dr Les Aron Gosling & Glenys Evelyn Gosling --  Messianic Jewish Rebbe & Rebbetzin  -- began sharing (gratis) their scholarly understanding of the biblical revelation in public meetings.

Christians, and others, discontented with the teachings of the historic church and a largely hollow Pentecostalism began to gain a refreshingly new grasp of the lost Jewish thoughtform which the Gosling's have been restoring in their teaching ministry.

Now, decades later, due to a revived interest worldwide in their Messianic teachings, the International Messianic Community of Faith ( IMCF) is proceeding with a legal incorporation in order to encourage further interest and alignment (both at the local and international level) with this new prospective organisation.It is the intent of the IMCF to gain from and add to the present existing accumulation and fund of knowledge produced through the auspices of Jewish and Christian scholarship.

It is the further intention, purpose and goal of the Biblical Research Institute to not only research the Scriptures -- with a special care and concern for the original Jewish thoughtforms and the culture of the first century CE which produced the early Messianic Writings -- but to expose the Chosen People to the teaching, and to train and educate the priesthood of all believers, centering our energy on the proclamation of the Gospel of Yeshua haMashiach (Yeshua the Messiah), with special emphasis on His holy history and as revealed in His death, burial and resurrection (1 Cor 15:1-4 cf Otot HaMashiach).

The founder and Director of the BRI has a background rich in Jewish studies, and in the history and writings of the intertestamental period, accompanied by a Talmudic understanding (the Talmud is the oral law or traditions of the Jews finally codified after Yeshua) relative to interpretation of the Tanach (the so-called "Old Testament" Scriptures) including the Torah (the first five books of the Bible written by Moses). "After his own "After his own Damascus Road experience in 1981 the Rebbe worked with various mission-oriented radio organisations which were taking the Gospel to regions where the name of Jesus Christ was entirely unknown."

From the mid '70s he has preached for over 20 years in hundreds of churches and denominations around Australasia emphasising the imperative need for authentic discipleship.

He always approaches his audiences from a Jewish perspective.This is because we at the BRI believe it is vitally important that Christians gain at least an elemental comprehension of the Jewish thoughtforms which produced what we now call the "Holy Bible."

While one of our aims is to actively bring a balance between the historic Christian community and the Messianic assemblies throughout the world and in the State of Israel, we also strive to present to the churches in a professional teaching capacity foundational doctrines from the Hebrew point of view in helping believers from a Gentile background to understand and unlock the Scriptural revelation.

All scholars readily admit that 2000 years down the track the Biblical revelation has become more than a little confused, and even certain Roman Catholic representatives have joined Protestant scholars in encouraging the western church, in its myriad divisions, to begin to return to the Jewish thoughtforms in interpreting the Word of God.
