It broke our hearts when we arrived in Masvingo, Zimbabwe, for the first time and found so many in line for treatment. They’d spent the night there, sleeping on the cold hard ground, waiting for us. We saw so much poverty and sickness at that Clinic that we can only imagine what we might encounter now given Zimbabwe’s current turmoil. May this next Medical Outreach bring hope, life, and health – both physically and spiritually – to each one the Lord brings our way. At that time, we saw much p...

God is opening doors. So much so, that “Open Doors” has become this year’s Global Outreach theme at Jewish Voice. One of the doors opening to us is in Ambo Meda, Ethiopia. We first learned of this area during last year’s Medical Outreach to Enfranz, Ethiopia, when several hundred people from Ambo Meda were bussed in to receive care at that Clinic. Our Global Outreach Director and others noted that the need for medical care among the people of Ambo Meda is even greater than that of neighboring ar...

“For a great door has opened wide for me, though many are in opposition.” ―1 Corinthians 16:9 TLV This is an important verse to us at Jewish Voice, and we refer to it often. The English Standard Version (ESV) says it this way: “For a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.” In this new year, we are looking at the many doors of opportunity that the Lord is opening for us. We are asking Him to open them wide and that, as we step through, our minis...

The Bible compels us to pray for Israel. Psalm 122:6 instructs us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Genesis 12:3 reveals God’s desire to bless those who bless Abraham and his people after him. Yeshua (Jesus) wept over Jerusalem proclaiming how He longed to gather her to Himself (Matthew 23:37). The apostle Paul so passionately desired that his Jewish brethren receive Yeshua’s Good News that he was willing to wish himself accursed in exchange (Romans 9:1‒5). These Scriptures and more effective...

The New Year has barely begun, and we’ve hit the ground running. With a full schedule of Outreaches for this year, we are eager to prepare the way by traveling to each location to handle as many pre-logistics as possible. Please pray for these advance trips ‒ occurring from late January through early February ‒ as the details for our 2019 Outreaches fall into place. Pray for: Discernment in choosing hotels or campsites as well as Medical Clinic sites in each area An early and accurate...

Each week throughout the year, Jewish people around the world read a designated Scripture passage from the Torah, which comprises the first five books of the Hebrew Scriptures. This weekly “Torah portion,” or parashah, is read in synagogues and congregations and meditated upon by individuals. Reading, studying and praying through the weekly Torah portion is a wonderful way for Believers to take part in this global Jewish practice each week. Last week’s Torah portion was Genesis chapters 41 throu...

Recently, almost 500 leaders of the Messianic Jewish Movement gathered from around the world for a time of refreshing, connecting and equipping. They came from several nations and more than 30 different states in the U.S., representing many ministries and congregations. Each person had opportunities to network with fellow leaders and hear from the Lord through worship, corporate teaching times and smaller, interactive discussion groups addressing timely topics. At the end of their time togeth...

The recent senseless murder of 11 Jewish people in Pittsburgh continues to weigh on our hearts. Will you please join us in continuing to pray for the Lord's comfort and peace over the 9 families impacted by this tragedy? We see persecution like this also in places where we minister. Shortly after the Outreach team returned from Ethiopia, we received news that Jewish Believers in another area of the country were enduring persecution. They had gathered for a conference (pictured above) where th...

Several weeks ago our staff here at Jewish Voice Ministries International participated in a ministry-wide week of prayer and fasting. We have done this twice annually for the last couple of years. It has been a powerful experience, both concerning what the Lord does in our own hearts as well as in us as a ministry. This time was no exception. Although the work of ministry continues during these special weeks, the work of prayer increases as we have worship and prayer times available every hou...

Scripture encourages us to make the most of every opportunity considering the times in which we live (Ephesians 5:16). In October, we are doing just that by visiting two separate areas in Ethiopia to conduct two different types of Medical Clinics, one right after the other. We will begin with an Outreach in Alamata and then travel to Jijiga for a shorter Clinic focused solely on dental and eye care. Both areas are new to us, and these will be our first Clinics there. We know that despite thes...
