Our Zehra Kids Program was created to engage children in play, songs and activities during our Outreaches. Best of all, Zehra is designed to engage kids in learning about and encountering the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and hearing the Good News of Yeshua (Jesus).
Our recent Outreach to Hosanna, Ethiopia, was a genuine benchmark in our capacity to effectively love and reach out to kids. We literally “took it up a notch” because, for the first time, in addition to focusing on children through our Zehra curriculum based on the Shema, we also ministered to an older age group — teens! This truly was a ground-breaking event for us in Ethiopia, and we are so in awe of how the Lord worked through this pioneering launch.
As with the younger kids, the teens got to participate in games and activities geared toward their age group. And they had fun! But they also experienced a brand-new curriculum we designed specifically for teens based on the book of Nehemiah. Many of the teens said they could relate to Nehemiah and the things he faced. They dove deep into the materials and had some significant moments of understanding and receiving the truths of their identity in Jesus. Zehra team members prayed over each one. It was an amazing answer to our fervent prayers for this age group and broke new ground in how we will minister to teens in the future.
During our Hosanna Outreach, in addition to providing fun and activities, we ministered to 855 children through the Shema curriculum and 415 teens through the new Nehemiah curriculum. That’s a total of 1,270 ministry opportunities during the course of the Outreach. Thank You, Lord!
Let’s praise the Lord and continue to pray:
Lord, we can’t find words to express how significant this feels. It means so much to reach out to the next generations and see them touched by You. Please continue to pour out Your grace and favor on the Zehra program. May it impact families and whole communities as well. May the seeds planted through Zehra (which means seed in Hebrew) bear fruit that goes beyond our wildest dreams, blessing many and bringing glory to You! In Yeshua’s name, Amen.
Where is Jewish Voice going next? We’re headed to Malawi to bring humanitarian aid in the form of medical, dental, and eye care to a Jewish community and their neighbors of all faiths. We’ll also be praying for and sharing the Gospel with those who come to our voluntary prayer room. Here are ways you can pray day by day for this Medical Outreach.

We are headed to Central Zimbabwe for our summer Outreach, July 9–19. We have been to this region before, but it will be our first Outreach in this location since the local Lemba believing community, Messianic Jewish Voice Zimbabwe (MJVMZ), has taken leadership of services at Mposi Clinic, the site of JVMI’s very first Outreach to Zimbabwe.
