As a "messianic" fellowship, we seek to learn together about God from His word, the Bible, via the many lessons encapsulated in the first five books of the Bible and explained by the prophets and the Messiah.

Balaam was hired to curse Israel but he was also supposed to serve God in the office of prophet to the gentile world. We would call Balaam more of a soothsayer, than a prophet in the sense that Jeremiah or Isaiah are prophets.
