Grafted Team

• Dr. Tom Blake

  Tom is the executive director and founder of Remember Jerusalem Inc. and Grafted. He received his doctorate in Messianic Jewish Studies in 2022 from The King's University where he has also served as an adjunct professor. He is currently a professor in residence at The Greenhouse Training School and serves on the senior leadership team of Tikkun America—a network of Messianic Jewish and One New Man congregations. He is also an elder emeritus of Kingdom Living Messianic Congregation in Kansas City where he served for 20 years. Tom enjoys camping adventures with his family, watching FC Barcelona, and drinking coffee from a tiny mug.

• Sam Van Buskirk

  Sam is a co-host on Grafted and serves as an elder and worship pastor at Kingdom Living Messianic Congregation, where he has attended for nearly 20 years. When he’s not serving the community, he’s happiest in a pocket tee, fishing, hunting, or spending time with his three daughters.

• Leah Blake

  Leah is the social media director and steady force behind Remember Jerusalem and Grafted, bringing care and creativity to every part of the ministry including intercession, prophetic insight, and keeping Tom from going completely off the rails along the way. She enjoys reading & writing but not arithmetic.
