Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you be secure. May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.” Psalm 122:6-7 A citadel is defined as a strategically fortified place or stronghold which is able to serve as “command central” in times of strife, attack, and war. Understanding this military or governmental description is an encouragement to pray for the corresponding seats of authority in Israel. Our prayers include the governing authorities, civi...

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. This is a day we look back and reflect on one of the most tragic events in Jewish history. Over six million Jewish people were massacred in the Holocaust and many Holocaust survivors are still suffering today. 200,000 Holocaust survivors are living in Israel and many of them in poverty. On this day we take a moment to remember those who have been affected by this horrific event and pray blessings on them and their families and that they can come...

A woman walks the dirt road outside JVMI's medical missions outreach in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2013. The woman stood to her feet and began crying out in Amharic, the language of Ethiopia. The Prayer Room of a JVMI medical missions outreach is normally abuzz with multiple conversations as several small groups talk and pray at once. The woman's anguish began to rise above all other voices. In another part of the prayer room RC's translator, Messay, leaned closer to him and explained, "She's say...

When former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was buried earlier this week at his Sycamore Ranch in the Negev of southern Israel, there was an unusual accompaniment. Because of the proximity of Sharon's home to the Gaza border and the ever present conflict between Israel and Gaza, the Israeli Defense Forces deployed an Iron Dome missile defense unit nearby to protect against terrorist attack. In addition, security forces sent messages to Palestinian leaders encouraging them to take steps to ...

A few weeks ago, the newly established Messianic congregation in Buhera, Zimbabwe, born out of our Jewish Voice outreach, held their first service. When the leaders arrived at 8:30 in the morning, they found one man already there. He walked nearly four miles to get there … on crutches! He had come to our medical clinic and was miraculously born again. When he learned of the new congregation, he wasn’t going to let anything stop him from coming and growing in his new faith. This is why we go. ...

Last week on New Year's Day the Palestinian ambassador to the Czech Republic, Jamel al-Jamal was killed in his home in an explosion. At first the Palestinian Authority said his death was a freak accident, caused when he opened a safe that had not been used in decades (They did not explain why a safe in an ambassador's home would have explosives inside that were many years old.) But later reports contradicted that, revealing that the safe was actually used every day, leaving questions about how...

Throughout the world, Jewish People are coming to the realization that it is possible to believe in Jesus and remain a Jew. That was not true just fifty years ago. At that time, not a single Messianic Jewish congregation existed anywhere, and very few Jews professed faith in Jesus—several thousand at best. By 2009, more than 350 Messianic Jewish congregations existed around the world, including more than fifty in Israel. At least one million Jews in the United States express some sort of fait...
