THIS WEEK’S GLOBAL UPDATE A Note from Jonathan Bernis Shalom, my friend! I pray God’s blessings over you. And I also pray that no matter what you’re facing right now, you will respond like the Psalmist who says, “Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to You I pray.” (Psalm 5:2 NIV) Wether you’re experiencing an overwhelming burden, a personal crisis or even a challenging decision amid uncertainty – cry out to God for help. The greatest hope we have is that God hears the c...

THIS WEEK’S GLOBAL UPDATE A Note from Jonathan Bernis Shalom, my friend! Much like the Psalmist, I find myself being moved by gratitude right now, even in the midst of terrible anti-Semitism I see on the news – because I know “the LORD is good and His love endures forever.” (Psalm 118:1) And I pray that you, too, will experience the goodness of God and His love in your own walk of faith. Don’t ever forget that YOU can be His expression of goodness and love wherever you are today...

You have been praying with us for the Lord to open doors to new locations, and He has once again answered! This month we will be ministering in a lush green urban community in Southern Ethiopia. Some of the Beta Israel Jewish people there reached out to the Messianic Jewish congregation in Kechene (an area in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia), interested in learning more about what they were teaching and doing. This established a connection and created an opportunity for us to take a full-scale Medical Out...

After 10 years of conducting Medical Outreaches in Zimbabwe, we returned to the region where it all began, a place called Mberengewa. One of the highlights from this outreach was the Zehra Kids Program which ministers to children about their shared identity and heritage in Yeshua. Because of You Over 2,700 Zimbabwean children, many of whom are Lemba (Jewish), learned about Jesus through biblically-based lessons and activities. Of the 48 people who wanted to be immersed (baptized) as a test...

THIS WEEK’S GLOBAL UPDATE A Note from Jonathan Bernis Shalom, my friend! I’m so grateful for your prayers and support on behalf of this ministry and the Jewish people. As you know, only God can effectively combat the anti-Semitism and hatred against the Jewish people that we’re seeing in Israel and around the world. In fact, one of the greatest hopes we have is that God hears the cries of His people. That no matter what any of us might be facing, He is in control to move and act ...

This may seem like an odd request – but we’d like to ask you to pray for prayer! More prayer and more “pray-ers,” meaning more people praying. We are building a global community that will pray faithfully for Jewish Voice Ministries and the work God has called us to. This work involves bringing the Gospel to the Jewish people, growing the Messianic Jewish community, and engaging the Church regarding Israel and the Jewish people. Will you pray with us for more prayer? Here are things the Lord i...

THIS WEEK’S GLOBAL UPDATE A Note from Jonathan Bernis Shalom, my friend! Peace is heavy on my heart. The peace of Jerusalem – after a barrage of recent rocket fire and violence. Peace for those who are still affected by the ongoing war in Ukraine. And peace for the Jewish people around the world…that can only come from the Gospel of Yeshua (Jesus). I pray that you have peace in your own heart and mind as we continue to navigate global conflict and uncertainty. While the Scripture...

We love knowing that you pray for our Outreaches, and we love sharing the praises with you after they‘re finished. We are hearing great things about the recent Mberengwa, Zimbabwe Medical Outreach. There was something special about this opportunity that our team and partners shared together. Read on for updates, praises and the resulting requests. Medical Outreach There were 121 people who prayed to receive Yeshua (Jesus), and almost half of them were from among the Lemba Jewish people....

THIS WEEK’S GLOBAL UPDATE A Note from Jonathan Bernis Shalom, my friend! In light of the global conflicts facing our world, including violence, terror and uncertainty, it would be easy to give in to the darkness and fear. But let me encourage you: no matter what you’re facing or what you may feel inside, “be strong” and “take heart.” And the only way to do these . . . is to place all your desires, circumstances and hopes in God’s hands. Lean upon the Scriptures that say, “Be ...

We love reaching out in Africa, and our week-long Medical Clinics are only the beginning. We are so grateful for the diverse opportunities the Lord has opened for us to ensure that those who come to Him experience rich and full lives as Believers in Yeshua the Messiah. That’s why we nurture our relationships with the Messianic Jewish congregations and their leaders in Zimbabwe and Ethiopia. Two of the most significant ways we do this are through Messianic Leadership Training times and Congreg...
