Violent protests erupt throughout Israel after officer fatally shoots an Ethiopian-Israeli youth Reeling from the tragic loss of Solomon Tekah, a young Israeli man of Ethiopian descent, thousands within the Ethiopian-Jewish community took to the streets across the country to protest police brutality, which is a long-standing conflict in Israel.

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.

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...

So, what do you do when you have a knee injury that hurts so badly you can’t do these chores? Well,...

Iraqi and Palestinian protesters storm the Bahraini embassy in Baghdad to protest the Trump Administration’s new peace initiative If you need further proof that Palestinian leaders care more about the destruction of Israel than peace and prosperity, simply look at what happened late last week.

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).

For many of the people we meet on our Medical Outreaches, a visit to the doctor is out of the question. Medical care is either too expensive or too far away for them. So they try to make do without it – often with life-threatening results. When you give to Jewish Voice Ministries International (JVMI), you provide medical, dental and eye care to Jewish people and their neighbors who would otherwise be left with nothing but hoping for the best – hoping that the infection will go away on its own...
