Felix Halpern – Biography
Felix Halpern is a first-generation Holocaust survivor, born in 1952 in the Netherlands. His legacy is steeped in resilience, faith, and divine calling. His mother courageously served in the Dutch Underground during World War II, while his father—having survived Kristallnacht (the “Night of Broken Glass”)—was the only member of his family to escape and join the resistance. His paternal grandfather, Rabbi Felix Halpern was an Orthodox Rabbi in Germany.
Felix’s family immigrated to the United States during his early childhood, settling in Northern New Jersey. In the early 1970s, he came to faith in Yeshua, Jesus the Jewish Messiah—an encounter that would forever shape his life. For many years, Felix built a thriving career in the precious metals and diamond industry in New York City, ultimately serving as Vice President of Sales and Marketing for a multimillion-dollar international firm.
But in his mid-forties, during a profound move of God in his life, Felix experienced a personal revival that redirected everything. He heard the unmistakable voice of the Lord calling him to leave it all behind. In a bold act of obedience, he walked away from a six-figure salary and a once-in-a-lifetime offer to lead a gold company that would have made him a multi-millionaire. He resigned from Social Security, sold his home, and—with his wife Bonnie and their two daughters—stepped into a life of complete faith and dependency on God’s provision.
Together, Felix and Bonnie founded Metro Jewish Resources and served as Congregational Leaders of Beth Chofesh, a vibrant Messianic Congregation, for over 20 years. Their ministry has been marked by a deep hunger for the Presence of God, the power of the Holy Spirit, and a passion for reconciling Jew and Gentile in the love of the Father.
Felix also pioneered the first National Jewish Fellowship within the Assemblies of God, serving as its founding President for two years. He was later commissioned as a Nationally Appointed Missionary to the Jewish peoplethrough the Assemblies of God. His teaching ministry focuses on Israel, the Church, and the Last Days, and he continues to equip churches, leaders, and believers through training seminars on Jewish outreach—helping the Body of Messiah understand its prophetic role in God's redemptive plan.
In September 2019, Felix experienced a life-and-death encounter that
would forever mark his ministry. A medical error in prescription medication led to a fatal heart attack. Clinically dead, Felix’s spirit was taken into the heavenly realm, where he encountered the Throne of God, the majesty of Heaven, and the vast mysteries of the eternal world.
He also descended into the lower realms, walking above the second heaven—the domain where demonic entities dwell. By the mercy of God, Felix was restored to life—sent back with a mandate: to pour out his life so others might experience the glory, presence, and love of God.
Today, Revive is the latest fruit of the journey that Felix and Bonnie have walked—a ministry birthed out of encounter, shaped by revival, and fueled by a passion to see the Kingdom of God impact generations. Together, they minister internationally with a powerful testimony and a prophetic message of end-time awakening, Jewish restoration, and heavenly revelation.
Felix’s life is a living witness to the supernatural power of God to restore, revive, and reveal.
