The swastika – it’s the most recognizable symbol of the Holocaust and present-day hatred of Jewish people. Those who use it today send the message that they agree with Adolf Hitler’s abominable hatred and beliefs. It’s a symbol that gives hearty approval to Nazi Germany’s treatment of the Jewish people as less than human, stripping them of their property, dignity, fundamental human rights and life itself. The United Nations designated January 27 as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. It ...

“For it is You who light my lamp; the LORD my God lightens my darkness.” Psalm 18:28 (NIV) Shalom, my friend. As those who celebrate the Christmas holidays prepare to remember and reflect on the birth of Yeshua (Jesus), I’m reminded of God’s light . . . Jesus Himself said He was the “Light of the world” (John 8:12) who would draw all people to Himself. Writing this to you, I feel like His Light – the very Light from Heaven – is needed now more than ever. A Light to expose the dark...

As we come to the end of 2021, we look back with such gratitude at all the Lord empowered us to do, all the places He enabled us to go, and the favor and fruit that He gave every step of the way — even during postponements, cancellations and crises in the nations. He has been so faithful! As we look toward 2022, we are prayerfully seeking the Lord’s specific guidance for Outreach dates and locations. Please join us in praying for: The Lord of the harvest to grow our team of workers ...

“ADONAI is my Shepherd, I shall not want..” Psalm 23:1 TLV Shalom, my friend. As tensions continue to increase, as the rumors of war move ever closer to reality . . . we may feel the tension of uncertainty and the fear of the unknown. But we have hope. We have hope that we’ll never be alone, that we’ll never lack, that we’ll never be left to the mercy of our struggles and difficulties, that we’ll never be without a shepherd – The Shepherd. The Shepherd who is watching, waiting, ...

Why We Choose Filters Over Wells Clean water is critical to life and good health. According to the World Health Organization, the third leading cause of death among children under 5 years old is directly related to contaminated drinking water. Worldwide, 144 million people rely on collecting untreated water from lakes, ponds, rivers and streams for drinking and cooking. Among them are many Jewish people from the Lost Tribes of Israel that we serve in Africa. Thus far, Jewish Voice has worked ...

“Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love Adonai your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” Deuteronomy 6:4-5 (TLV) Shalom, my friend. The words from the Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4-5), the central command of the Jewish faith, are a tremendous reminder for all of us during this holiday season. There are so many uncertainties that we’re facing in our own experiences and as a global community. It can all feel heavy and burdensome in ...

We’re back from Wolkite (pronounced Wuhl-KEE-tay), Ethiopia, and are excited to tell you about the trip. You were a big part of all that took place there because your generosity and prayers made this Medical Outreach possible. About four out of five patients we treated in Wolkite suffered from ear or hearing issues. The Lord expressed His love for the people by meeting this prevalent need, both in the Medical Clinic and Spiritual Care Ministry. One mother brought her 12-year-old son, who c...

We have news on a cause for celebration, and also a cancellation. Will you join us in praise and prayer? PRAISE AND CELEBRATION: In our last Prayer Points, we asked you to pray for a unique gathering of Messianic Jewish leaders recently held in the U.S., with leaders from all over the world, including Israel. THANK YOU for your prayers. This was a benchmark gathering. Although the theme was general, “Healthy Leadership,” the Lord imparted specific and consistent threads throughout the teachin...

As we move closer toward the end of the year, I’m writing to ask for your generous support… I shared recently how God continues to open the doors for our Outreaches in Africa. And in these final weeks of the year, we've set a goal of raising $209,000 by year's end to meet the urgent needs of hurting and suffering Jewish people. The impact for the Kingdom in these areas among the Jewish people — and their neighbors — in Ethiopia and Zimbabwe is nothing short of miraculous. People are ...

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” Psalm 122:6 (NIV) Shalom, my friend. As a partner of Israel who loves the Jewish people, I’m sure you’ve been watching and waiting for this week’s start of nuclear negotiations with Iran in Vienna. It’s no exaggeration to write that the safety of Israel, and even the world, is at stake in these discussions. But the truth is … all of this is entirely out of our control. The only thing you and I can do – the only thing we can control – is how we ...
