Violet was guided by her daughter-in-law as they walked through our Medical Outreach in Mudanda, Zimbabwe. They gratefully received basic medical care from our team in the field. But Violet still couldn’t see. A tragic accident had stolen Violet’s eyesight a few years ago. And she’d given up hope of seeing the faces of those she loved ever again. The damage to her eyes was too severe. No amount of surgery would work. Violet would have no choice but to live in darkness … After leaving the Medi...

I wouldn’t have believed it ... One of our Medical Outreach teams returned recently from Ethiopia. And what they had to report, was nothing short of a miracle. Venturing into a new area - Ambo Meda - it was a breakthrough experience for Jewish Voice. God had opened so many doors to prepare for this Medical Outreach. Our expectations were high as we prayed in the days and weeks leading up to this time of massive ministry. God gave us a vision of Gideon, the judge from the book of J...

Life in rural Zimbabwe requires hard work. Hands-and-knees gardening, fetching the day’s water supply, and washing clothes while bent over a portable tub in the yard ‒ or a rock at the stream ‒ are part of the household regiment. It’s a physical life demanding vigor and health, which is often a challenge when you need a doctor but can’t afford to see one or there aren’t any in your area to see. So, what do you do when you have a knee injury that hurts so badly you can’t do these chores? Well,...

At a peace conference in Bahrain, the Trump administration revealed their proposal to invest upwards of $50 billion in Arab states and territories over the course of 10 years. This means major revita...

Little did we know when we last ministered in Mberengwa, Zimbabwe, that, moving forward, we would see so much change, so many challenges and ongoing hardship come to this land of the Lemba people.

We’re returning soon to bring humanitarian aid and the Good News of Yeshua (Jesus) to the people of Mberengwa. One constant need – and the most vital – a...

July 1‒7 Prayer for Israel Israel’s Arab Citizens Approximately 21 percent of Israel’s citizens are Arab. A slim majority of them profess to be proud citizens of Israel even if they reject the idea of Israel as a Jewish State. With a general climate of tension in the Middle East between Arabs and Israelis, let’s pray for Israel’s Arab citizens, some of whom appreciate Israel and others who may be hostile toward the State based on their family heritage. Father, we lift up Israel’s Arab...

Historic "Peace to Prosperity" conference inaugurates a bright future in the heart of the Arab world amidst Palestine ire For month’s we’ve been watching the reactions of leaders throughout the Arab world leading up to the unveiling of the Trump administration’s “Deal of the Century” that was presented in Bahrain this week (June 25 - 26, 2019).
