Prayer Points: Heads up – 3 big events to pray for

We want to give you a heads-up on what’s ahead here at Jewish Voice. We’re trusting the Lord in big ways for three special events in the first quarter of 2023. We are so grateful for the undergirding your prayers give this ministry, including for these events. We’ll send you more specific information and Prayer Points in upcoming emails, but we are praying for them now and would love for you to join us. Please pray for:

SCOUTING TRIP

Several key leaders, including our Director of Global Outreach and Vice-President of Congregations and Leadership Development, will be heading to Africa for a scouting trip from mid-February to early March. Please ask the Lord to:

• Order the steps of these good men as they seek to discern His locations and plans for future Outreaches
• Grant great favor in revealing and preparing the regions to visit and explore
• Provide divine direction from the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) and His human instruments for discerning locations, timing, and partners in the harvest this year and beyond
• Pinpoint the Jewish people groups on His heart for Jewish Voice Ministries and to make His timing clear

ETHIOPIA MEDICAL OUTREACH

Our first Outreach of the year will be in Ethiopia. We hope to return to a previous location, as there is much to be done there. The Outreach trip dates will be March 9–19. Please pray for:

• Peace, health and the Lord’s own shalom and favor to keep the international and spiritual doors  open to ministering in this nation
• Logistics to fall into place with ease, as the Outreach is fast approaching
• The Lord to prepare hearts to hear the Gospel even as He prepares them to come and receive care

ZIMBABWE MEDICAL OUTREACH

In 2022, Zimbabwe had a record wheat harvest. We are praising the Lord for this and are praying for an incredible spiritual harvest in Zimbabwe in 2023. This Outreach trip will be from March 23–April 2. Please pray for:

• The “fields” of Jewish people and their neighbors in Zimbabwe to truly be ready for a harvest of salvation
• The Lord to prepare and send JVMI harvest workers – Outreach partners and medical volunteers who will be His hands and feet as they minister love and share salvation
• Grace, stamina and health for our director of Global Outreach, who himself will be “in the field” serving the Lord from late February, when the scouting trip begins, to the beginning of April, when the Zimbabwe Outreach ends

Let’s Pray

Lord, as Proverbs 16:9 says, even when we seek You in making plans, we are still dependent on You establishing our steps. We ask for Your continued wisdom, guidance and direction because our heart’s desire and prayer is for Jewish people to be saved and gathered in Messianic Jewish communities of faith. Use us as we go where You call us to go. It’s all for Your glory and for Your people to be blessed! In Jesus’ name, AMEN.
