Changing Lives in Gutu, Zimbabwe

God is good! With your help, we completed an ambitious 2025 Medical Outreach season in Gutu, Zimbabwe. We have stories to share with you, but first, here’s a glimpse of just how many lives you helped change in Gutu.

Thankful Hearts Return

Ten years ago, a woman came to our Medical Outreach in Gutu with her very sick daughter. Doctors couldn’t help the little girl, and the pair went to our Spiritual Care Ministry. There, Patrick, an Outreach Partner, prayed for the girl. She immediately felt better, and they went on their way.

This October, the same mother and daughter, now a young woman, returned — but not for medical care. They went straight to the prayer tent to thank the man who had prayed for them. What a happy reunion it was for Patrick, who was back with us. The daughter hasn’t had any health issues since that prayer 10 years ago. She is living a full, healthy life. They just wanted to express their gratitude for the prayer that changed their lives. A big part of their gratitude goes to people like you who make these Medical Outreaches possible.

Impromptu Surgery Changes a Woman’s Life

On the last day of the Gutu Medical Outreach, we met Terriera in the dental department. Without sufficient medical care available to her, what had started as a tiny blemish on her jaw had become a very large growth.

Imagine, for a moment, the shame this woman endured because of her disfigurement. Imagine the looks she received, the gossip she heard whispered as she passed in the street, the embarrassment she felt when people gawked at her face.

Because you helped send us to her community, all that changed for Terriera. There are no coincidences with God, and on this Outreach, we “happened” to have a highly specialized dentist volunteering with us. Right there in the dental tent, the specialist was able to surgically remove the mass on Terriera’s face — and the shame that came with it.

“It showed me that we do make a life-changing impact,” said a staff member who observed the transformation, “that God can send someone from across the world to help another person in need.” The staff member has remained in contact with Terriera and learned that she is recovering well.

This story reveals how vital these Medical Outreaches are. The places you send us lack adequate facilities, equipment, and medical personnel to meet all the needs in their communities.

You Made the Difference

We wouldn’t have been there for Terriera if not for you and others like you, who give to support the cost of providing quality medical, dental, and eye care to thousands at each Outreach. Along with this aid, we share the Good News of Yeshua (Jesus) to members of these African Jewish communities and their neighbors. You are truly changing lives, for now and for eternity.

Thank you!

Shabbat – A Gift from the Lord

November 18, 2025

It’s Friday afternoon, and a sense of expectancy is building in Jewish minds throughout the world. Jewish homemakers bustle about cleaning, preparing a meal and setting a beautiful table. In workplaces, Jewish men and women anticipate the mental shift they’ll experience in just a few hours — no more pressure from deadlines, work problems, meetings or striving to please bosses and clients.

You may say, “Well, doesn’t everyone feel this way about Friday? The weekend’s coming when they can leave the workweek behind.” Ah, but there’s something different about Friday in the Jewish mind. For us, Friday afternoon is the threshold of much more than the weekend.

Friday night begins Shabbat. The ceasing. Our weekly rest. Shabbat is the Hebrew word for the Sabbath, and Jewish people also call it Shabbos. Shabbat, Shabbos, the Sabbath — they all refer to the same day of rest that we find in Scripture.

Shabbat is about more than merely not working. It’s more than having free time. It’s a time we welcome in with intentionality, purpose, and the warmth of centuries-old traditions.

Life today runs at a breakneck speed that seems only to get faster. We live in an age of timesaving tips and pre-prepped meal kits — designed to help us pack more into our days than at any other time in history. There’s work to do, progress to make, and achievements to accomplish! We take ourselves or our children from one activity to another to not miss out on opportunities, many of which genuinely enrich our lives. The thing is, there’s just so much available to us nowadays.

We understand intellectually that we need rest and can feel its effects when we’ve experienced it. We’re refreshed mentally, physically, and emotionally. Even so, sometimes, it’s hard to let ourselves pursue it. Stopping work is one thing; not worrying about the work that isn’t getting done is another. When we brush our hands together and say, “There, now. That’s done,” it relates only to a particular project. The feeling of accomplishment is often short-lived as another responsibility lies waiting. No, we will never run out of work. There will always be more than we can get done in a day, a week, or a lifetime.

As vital as rest is to us, attaining it doesn’t come naturally.  The truth is, most of us don’t know how to rest.

Enter Shabbat.

Amid the frantic pace of 21st-century life, Jewish obedience to a God-commanded weekly day of rest holds strong, having steadfastly endured, week after week, throughout the centuries.

From the outside looking in, Shabbat may appear constrictive, a rule of law that dampens our enjoyment of life. However, those who keep it faithfully recognize that rather than restrictive, Shabbat is a gift.

And with today’s lifestyles, we need Shabbat’s rhythm of rest more than ever.

The Gift of Shabbat

Shabbat is a gift that offers us the stability of a regular, intentional time when we step out of the fray and hide ourselves in the haven of the Lord’s gift of rest.

Shabbat is a weekly reset. For 25 hours, from just before sunset on Friday evening to just after nightfall on Saturday, we suspend our regular routines and welcome the rest God commanded.

It is a time of refreshment and renewal, a time to engage with the Lord, family and friends. It is a gift from God that we welcome as a beloved friend. It recenters our perspective, reminding us that God is King of the universe, Lord of all, and Lord of our lives. It prompts us to recall that He is the source of our strength and hope. He is our provider, worthy of our praise and trust.

If observing Shabbat is new to you, allow us to meet you at the doorstep with a broad smile and a hearty “Shabbat shalom!” wishing you “Sabbath peace!” We are delighted you’re here. As we throw an arm around your shoulder, we invite you to join us in a sacred tradition, one that comes from the Lord Himself — one that is designed to fill a deep need in you, return your focus to Him, and steady you with a weekly rhythm of restoration for body, soul and spirit. We invite you into what has been a Jewish act of obedience to the Lord since the Exodus and the 10 Commandments. However, the concept of Shabbat goes even further back than that.

Outreach Recap: You brought light into darkness

November 12, 2025

Chiwena, Zambia, Medical Outreach

August 28 – September 7, 2025

  • 7,973 Patients Received Care
  • 713 People Received Dental Care
  • 1,534 Eyeglasses Distributed
  • 140 Families Received LifeStraw® Water Filters
  • 750 Children Attended the Zehra Kids Program
  • 1,869 People Heard the Gospel
  • 272 People Received Yeshua
  • 341 People Requested Congregational Follow-up
  • 2 Congregations of 50 or More People Have Formed

Have you ever struggled to see in the dark? Maybe the electricity went off while you were walking through the house, or sunset caught you reading in a darkening room until you could barely make out the words. When light finally came, it brought relief.

Ephesians 6:12 tells us that, as Believers, our fight in this world is against spiritual forces of darkness. We encountered such darkness in Zambia, and you played a role in shining the light of Yeshua (Jesus) into the lives of people who needed to know His love and true hope.

Before we tell you more, here’s an overview of the lives you touched in Zambia through your support of Jewish Voice Ministries.

Into the Darkness

A mother and young daughter came to the Outreach’s Spiritual Care Ministry. A high fever as a toddler had left the girl with mental and physical challenges. The mother already believed in Yeshua, but Outreach Partners noticed a sign on the girl’s arm showing she’d been to a witch doctor.

A man visiting the dental department told a team member he had another need. “My knees,” he said, “I need the magic.” The partner explained, “We’re not doing magic. We’re praying in the name of Yeshua.” The man insisted, “No, no. Magic, magic.”

A heartbroken mother arrived carrying her lifeless baby, who had died on the way to our Clinic. Outreach Partners comforted her, sharing the Gospel, and the mother accepted Yeshua as the Messiah. The partners felt compelled to encourage her not to seek a witch doctor for her grief.

These stories amplify the spiritual environment in which we ministered in Zambia. Throughout the city, signs attached to light posts advertised mystical cures for every misfortune. In a place with so much need and so little medical care available, people often turn to whatever is within reach. Desperate, hurting people consult witch doctors without realizing it opens the door to spiritual darkness.

You Brought Light

Into this spiritual darkness, you brought light. Through your support, you helped bring the light and genuine hope of Yeshua to the people of Chiwena, Zambia. Because of you, thousands received quality medical care and nearly 2,000 heard the Good News of the Messiah. Those who accepted Him now carry His light in their families and communities. And two new Messianic Jewish congregations have formed to help them grow in their faith and spread the light of truth.

You made all this possible.

You have truly transformed lives.

Thank you!

Outreach Recap: What a difference you made in Malawi!

November 06, 2025

A Ripe Harvest in a Muslim Region

If you like hearing about the difference you’re making in Jewish lives, you’re going to enjoy this report from our recent Malawi Outreach.

This was our first Outreach in Malawi, where, through your support, we ministered to the large Lemba Jewish population there. This part of Malawi is about 97 percent Muslim, with many people of Jewish heritage practicing Islam.

Speaking of percentages, here are some exciting figures revealing the spiritual hunger in this area. Compared to what we usually see, these statistics are significantly higher. Praise God for His mighty work in these individual lives — through you and your support!

  • 45% of patients who came to the Malawi Clinic visited the voluntary prayer tent
  • 20% of those who visited the prayer tent accepted Yeshua
  • 10% of those who visited the prayer tent were Jewish Lemba
  • 43% of the Jewish Lemba who visited the prayer tent accepted Yeshua

These figures — representing individual people — are truly remarkable. Here’s a look at the number of lives you touched in Malawi through your support of Jewish Voice Ministries. Be sure to scroll down for a story of lives you helped transform with the love and Good News of Yeshua (Jesus).

Malawi Medical Outreach

August 14–24, 2025

  • 5,117 Patients Received Care
  • 1,196 Eyeglasses Distributed
  • 35 Minor Surgeries Performed
  • 2,303 People Heard the Gospel, 231 of them Jewish
  • 468 People Received Yeshua, 100 of them Jewish
  • 376  People Requested Congregational Follow-up

Sharing Yeshua in the Streets

During the Outreach, some members of the Spiritual Care Team left the Clinic gates to walk through the neighborhood and pray. One partner teamed up with a local pastor to translate. They found a group of about 25 people sitting outside, mostly women, youth, and children. A half-dozen men sat in the background, slightly apart from the group. The pair greeted the locals, and after a few words, the pastor whispered to the partner, “They are ready to hear what you have to say.”

The partner began, “I want to tell you a true story that happened a long time ago,” and she continued to share the Gospel of Yeshua through her translator. At the end, she asked people to raise their hands if they believed what she’d shared, wanted their sins forgiven and desired to receive a new heart and spirit. A few ladies walked off, disinterested. But every other person raised a hand, including the men no one thought were listening. The partner and pastor led them in a prayer of repentance and accepting Yeshua as the Messiah. They went on to pray blessings over the new Believers, and the Lord showered great joy upon them all.

You Made These Encounters Possible

You know, don’t you, that you played a part in these transformed lives? Your support made this Malawi Outreach possible, where 468 people, including 100 Jewish people, joined the family of God as your new brothers and sisters. You are truly making a difference in Jewish lives — and non-Jewish lives, even Muslim lives. Because of you, people all over the world are stepping out of darkness into the marvelous light of the Messiah. Thank you so much for caring.
 

“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the praises of the One who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”

— 1 Peter 2:9

Prayer Points: Would you pray for us?

Preparing for Greater Impact in Israel

In our last Prayer Points, we shared and asked you to pray regarding our expanding vision to reach Jewish people in the U.S. But we are also seeking the Lord for fresh and expanding ways to make an impact in Israel.

It only makes sense, as these two countries have the largest Jewish populations in the world. So, we want to heighten our concentration on how we can minister most effectively in both locations.

Here are some ways you can help prepare the way in prayer for Jewish Voice to not only have an expanded vision in Israel but also expanded impact and effectiveness.

Please pray for:

  • The many ministries in the Land that you already support through Jewish Voice Ministries
    • Teaching and discipleship programs
    • Congregations
    • Humanitarian aid, both related and not related to the war
    • Food and clothing banks
    • Assisting single moms, children and families in need
    • Ministry to special groups, such as immigrants, elderly people, and the IDF
    • Trauma care, physical care, and rehab
    • And so much more
  • Encouragement of the body of Messiah in Israel, who provide hands-on love, care, and ministry amid many unstable and uncertain circumstances
  • Strengthening of our current relationships and partnerships in Israel 
  • New relationships and divine connections so we can increase ministry impact
  • The Lord’s favor in growing our ability to bless and effectively minister to the Israeli people
  • Strategies to envision and engage young adults to join us in our efforts

We are as sure as ever of the Lord’s love for His people and His Land, and that His plans for them will be fulfilled. We’re increasingly excited that He desires to use us to make an even more powerful impact in the Land and among the people of Israel. Join us in praying as we follow His lead. You and your prayers are part of our expanding vision in Israel.

The Peace the World Can’t Give

October 28, 2025

We all yearn for peace — in the world and in our lives. Recently, headlines proclaimed a new "peace" between Israel and Hamas, which saw the last 20 living hostages finally returned and the war with Gaza on its way to being over. Yet even as we read these hopeful words, a sobering question lingers: Will peace hold?

At the time of this writing, Hamas has yet to return two-thirds of the deceased hostages it has held for more than two years. And without a total reversal of Hamas ideology, can there really be peace?

Former Israeli hostage Tal Shahom, after experiencing 505 days of captivity in Gaza, shared his sobering conclusion with All Israel News: "I believed that peace is something that we can achieve. But after I saw the magnitude of hatred that they grew up on and they are growing their children up on, it's really clear that at least in our generation it won't be possible."

This harsh reality forces us to confront a fundamental truth: the peace this world offers — fragile agreements between nations, temporary ceasefires, and diplomatic solutions — is inherently unstable. But there is another kind of peace, one that Yeshua (Jesus) promised His followers.

The World's Fragile Peace

When we speak of worldly peace, we typically mean what dictionaries describe as an agreement ending war or other hostilities between parties or a state of security within a community, free of civil disturbance. This earthly peace relies entirely on external factors such as stable governments, cooperative neighbors, and mutual agreements between fallible human beings.

The current situation between Israel and Hamas perfectly illustrates this fragility. Despite declarations of peace, the fundamental ideologies remain unchanged. Former hostage Eli Sharabi, in his recently released book Hostage, revealed what he learned from his captors about Hamas's unwavering beliefs. His guards would "repeat on loop…some things they all believe and say with absolute confidence:…[that] there is no room for the Jews here and no such thing as Israel. They will not relent in their war against us until we all pack up and go back to the countries we came from, until they conquer every last inch of this land."

How can there be lasting peace when one side is fundamentally committed to the other's destruction? This worldly peace, dependent as it is on circumstances and human cooperation, inevitably proves temporary and fragile.

Peace is also defined as a sense of tranquility free from strife or inner disturbance. This, too, is fragile because it most often relies on outward conditions aligning to provide us with this sense of calm. Life, however, doesn’t usually deliver such carefree conditions. Difficulties, pain, and sorrows are a regular part of our years on this planet. We can work toward a positive attitude, but this too often proves fleeting.

The Unshakeable Peace of Yeshua

In stark contrast to the world's fragile peace, Yeshua offers His people a different kind of peace. In the gospel of John, Jesus makes the profound distinction: "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid" — John 14:27 (NKJV).

Yeshua’s peace is unlike any other peace. The world’s peace is based on circumstances and is often dependent on others. The peace of Yeshua operates on an entirely different foundation. It is:

  • Internal, not external. This peace dwells within the heart and mind, unaffected by external chaos. It's the peace that passes all understanding, as Paul describes in Philippians 4:7, and is found through abiding closely with Jesus
  • Unconditional, not circumstantial. Unlike worldly peace that requires specific conditions to exist, God's peace is available to anyone who trusts in Him, regardless of their circumstances and despite our inability to earn it
  • Permanent, not temporary. Rooted in God's unchanging nature and eternal love, this peace cannot be shaken by human failure or changing situations. Because the Holy Spirit dwells within every Believer, we have constant and everlasting access to this supernatural peace

The prophet Isaiah beautifully captured how we attain this peace: "You will keep in perfect peace one whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You" (Isaiah 26:3 TLV). This perfect peace, the kind our hearts crave and our souls need, comes not from favorable circumstances but from unwavering trust in our unchanging, good, and loving God.

In John 16:33, Yeshua promises: "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." He doesn't promise the absence of trouble; He promises that we can have His peace in the midst of trouble because He has already secured the ultimate victory.

Finding Peace in the Midst of Chaos

Even in the most chaotic and far-from-peaceful situations, God's inner peace is possible. It's a peace that circumstances could never provide and can never alter. It’s a peace that transforms our internal experience rather than depending on our external reality. This is the peace that "surpasses all understanding" (Philippians 4:7). It's the peace that allows Believers to "lie down and sleep" even when surrounded by enemies because we know God is our protector and provider (Psalm 4:8). It's the peace that redeems our souls "from the battle" regardless of how many stand against us (Psalm 55:18).

Praying for Peace

Understanding these two distinct types of peace can transform how we pray for ourselves as well as how we pray for Israel and the Jewish people worldwide. While earthly peace is important, spiritual peace with God through faith in Yeshua is eternal. Here’s how you can pray for both.

Pray for Earthly Peace (Shalom): This kind of peace matters deeply. It affects real lives, real families, and real communities. The psalmist commands us to "pray for the peace of Jerusalem" (Psalm 122:6), and this prayer includes physical safety, economic stability, and freedom from violence. These are legitimate, biblical concerns that deserve our persistent intercession.

Pray for the safety and security of Israel within its borders. Pray for protection from hostile neighbors and for wisdom in diplomatic relations. Pray also for an end to antisemitism wherever Jewish people face persecution.

Pray for Spiritual Peace: Our greater calling is to pray for the eternal peace that comes only through being reconciled to God. As Paul writes in Romans 5:1: "Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus" (NKJV).

This is the ultimate peace: the peace between God and humanity that was purchased through Yeshua's atoning sacrifice. Ephesians 2:14 declares that "He Himself is our peace," breaking down the walls of separation and hostility between peoples and between humanity and God.

When we pray for Jewish people affected by war, persecution, or displacement, let’s not neglect also to pray that they would discover this unshakeable peace found only through faith in Yeshua. Pray that in their darkest moments, they would encounter the Messiah of the God of their fathers and find in Him a peace that no earthly circumstance can disturb.

Your Call to Bring True Peace

The contrast couldn't be more apparent. The world offers a fragile peace dependent on circumstances and human cooperation — a peace that Hamas’s present ideology, not to mention that of other nations in the world, leaves us doubtful we will see it in our generation. But Yeshua offers an unshakeable peace rooted in God's unchanging love and sovereign control.

While we continue to pray earnestly for earthly peace in Israel and safety for Jewish people worldwide, our greater mission is to help every Jewish person discover the eternal peace that "surpasses all understanding." Every Jewish person needs to know that their Messiah offers a peace the world cannot give and cannot take away.

This peace is available right now, regardless of external circumstances, to anyone who will trust in the God of Israel through faith in Yeshua the Messiah.

Will you be a part of this mission? Millions of Jewish people in Israel and scattered communities worldwide need the comfort that only Yeshua can provide. They need to hear that there is a peace available to them that no enemy can destroy, no circumstance can shake, and no human failure can diminish. Discover how you can help bring this Good News of Yeshua the Messiah to Jewish hearts yearning for true, lasting peace.

Lord, we are grateful to be returning to Gutu, and we ask that it be a time of fresh, new beginnings. May the people there be overcome by Your goodness and open to receive the Good News of salvation in Yeshua. May Your hand of blessing be upon every member of our teams. We pray a particular prayer that You will touch the local workers with Your love and grace, and that they may be saved. May Your goodness and Your kingdom come to Gutu! In Yeshua’s name, Amen.
