This year, and this next Outreach, mark a significant milestone for Jewish Voice Ministries. We hope you will both celebrate and pray with us. Ten years ago, we held our first Zimbabwe Outreach in the very location we’re heading to next – Mberengwa. Since then, more than 17,900 Zimbabweans have professed Jesus as Messiah during Jewish Voice Medical Outreaches. More than 178,000 have received medical care, and more than 150 congregations have formed. Would you help us raise an “Ebenezer st...

A Note From Jonathan Bernis: Shalom, my friend! As I write to you now, my heart is turned towards the declaration of the Psalmist: “From the LORD comes deliverance. May Your blessing be on Your people” (Psalm 3:8 NIV). There’s so much difficulty and uncertainty in the world today. That’s why I’m clinging to this critical truth from the Scriptures as I continue to pray for God’s deliverance in Ukraine, His will to be done with regards to Iran and for peace in Israel and among the Jewi...

Profound. Mature. Thorough and challenging. Those words describe the faithful and diligent teaching of Gil Kaplan. Perhaps even more moving are the words used to recount the nature of this man of truth: Humble. Genuine. Encouraging. The Jewish Voice family and Messianic Jewish community are saddened by the loss of a dedicated teacher of God’s Word. Gil Kaplan passed away on June 11, 2022. Gil, the son of Jewish Voice founder Louis Kaplan, grew up in ministry. Their family musical group tr...

Currently, the Lord is opening eyes throughout the body of Messiah about the importance and priority of reaching the Jewish people with the Good News of their Messiah, Yeshua (Jesus). This has always been the heart of our mission and vision at Jewish Voice. On the heels of Shavuot and Pentecost, which were both celebrated this past weekend, we’re stirred to put out a fresh call to prayer for a great harvest of salvations among the Jewish people around the world. Shavuot was originally a h...

“The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah” . . . “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time,” declares the Lord. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.” — Jeremiah 31:31, 33 Shalom, my friend! Thank you for your love and compassion for the Jewish people – in Israel, in Ukraine and around the w...

As you receive this, our Medical Outreach to Gambela, Ethiopia, is winding down. We want to cover it in prayer as it ends and realize that, in some ways, things are only beginning. Please join us in praying for the important process of follow-up and discipleship. It is exciting to think about these newly planted “Gospel seeds” now having a chance to grow and multiply. Please pray for: The ability to see as many patients as possible on the last day and that the Lord will continue to touch a...

“I will bless those who bless Israel.” Genesis 12:3 Shalom, my friend! Thank you for your love and compassion for the Jewish people – in Israel, Ukraine and around the world. I’m so grateful that you are willing to stand with God’s Chosen People and their neighbors through your ongoing prayers and financial support. And I pray you’ll experience a special outpouring of God’s blessing on you for your faithfulness for His people. Please join us in praying for God’s strength, protec...

We are taking the Good News to a small city in Ethiopia. It will be our first Outreach there, although there are already 10 Messianic congregations in the region. We have been praying to break ground in new areas, as we did in Chivi, Zimbabwe, a few months ago. This can be challenging work! However, with your prayers and the Holy Spirit’s help we look forward to what the Lord will do as we enter another new area, this time in Ethiopia. We need your prayers covering this Outreach in a region t...

“The LORD gives strength to His people; the LORD blesses His people with peace.” Psalm 29:11 (NIV) Shalom, my friend & Happy Israel Independence Day! Today, as we celebrate Yom HaAtzmaut with joy and festivities, my attention is turned towards the words of the Psalmist who acknowledges the reality of God strengthening His people – and blessing them with peace. With the war continuing in Ukraine, and the ongoing tragic loss of life – more than ever we need a supernatural measur...

This year, the month of May holds three important Israeli civil holidays: May 4 - 5: Yom HaZikaron – Israel’s Memorial Day May 5 -6: Yom HaAtzmaut – Israel’s Independence Day May 28 - 29: Yom Yerushalayim – Jerusalem Day Yom HaZikaron – Israel’s Memorial Day Israel declared her independence on May 14, 1948. Immediately, surrounding Arab nations and Palestinians waged war, confident they would defeat the newly reborn State of Israel. So, before Israel celebrates her independence,...
