“…For the joy set before Him, He endured…” —Hebrews 12:2 Imagine the sound of gravel beneath your feet as you walk in the place where Jesus spent His last hours before He was arrested. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prayed that if there were any other way, He’d rather not go through what lay ahead of Him – and then He relinquished His will to the Father’s. Hebrews tells us He laid down His own life “for the joy set before Him.” That joy was you. He knew that His death m...

“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Messiah Yeshua. For the law of the Spirit of life in Messiah Yeshua has set you free from the law of sin and death.” Romans 8:1-2 As we look forward to Passover and remember all God has done for us, I want you to know how much I appreciate you and how thankful I am that you share my love for Israel and the Jewish people. Thinking about the first Passover, the Jewish people in Egypt had no hope of freedom without God’s interve...

A year ago, our world seemed to turn upside down. Life as we knew it changed dramatically because of the coronavirus pandemic. At the same time, Jewish people around the world were preparing to celebrate Passover, which brought to my mind some parallels to the first Passover. We were — and still are — experiencing a plague. Leading up to that first Passover, there were nine horrible plagues. And then the tenth, and worst of all, the death of all the firstborn in Egypt. Passover and all ...

“Now we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28 (TLV) Thank you for your love and concern for Israel and the Jewish people.

Whenever we ask you to pray for an Outreach, we always include a prayer request for “follow-up.” We are very aware that your prayers for the entire follow-up process are crucial to its success, but you may wonder what it entails. Our desires for every Outreach go way beyond the Outreach week itself. Yes, we want to bless the people in the region with medical care and clean water, which will improve their quality of life. However, our deepest hope is that they will receive the Good News and, a...

With all that’s going on in our world, we are seeing an openness to the Good News among Jewish people unlike anything in recent times.

Because of all of the challenges caused by the coronavirus, our Shalom Partners are more vital than ever as we continue to make adjustments to how we do ministry to meet urgent need...

Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD himself, is the Rock eternal.” Isaiah 26:3-4 (NIV) Thank you for your partnership.

This week, I’m sharing Scripture focused on the importance of placing our trust in the Lord. Trusting Him is the only answe...

Passover is a time of miracles, movement and freedom. It’s a season that asks us to look ahead. Will you look ahead with me for just a few minutes? I want to share how Passover influences the way we think about our purpose. This pandemic has been a turning point for many of us, and Jewish Voice is no exception. Prayerfully, we have spent this time planning and preparing for a new season of global outreach. Many groups speak of blessing and helping the Jewish people and provide for the p...
