In her final address to the UN Security Council this month, outgoing U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley previewed the benefits of the Middle East peace proposal the Trump administration will soon unveil. “It is time we faced a hard truth,” she said. “Both sides would benefit greatly from a peace agreement, but the Palestinians would benefit more, and the Israelis would risk more.” Throughout her two-year tenure, Haley said, she has worked to “illustrate that most of the region’s problem...

Shira Ish-Ran was 21 years old and seven months pregnant when she visited with her husband, Amichai, and several other people near a West Bank bus stop. A Hamas terrorist sprayed bullets into the crowd, and Shira and Amichai were among the seven people injured. They survived, but their baby died four days later.

You’re probably as astonished as I am. The end of another year is already here. I hope you have experienced God’s love and blessing in 2018. I’m writing in the midst of the holiday season to ask if you’ll prayerfully consider a year-end gift of $15, $25 or even $50 or more for Jewish Voice Ministries. Many worthy ministries seek your support, I realize. You’d be right to ask, Why Jewish Voice? And, why now? Here’s why I hope you’ll give generously now… What God has accomplished in 20...

A few months ago, we told you about a “double-header” Medical Outreach we had planned for new locations in Ethiopia. We recently returned from these two back-to-back Clinics. We want to thank you for your prayers and support to send our medical and support teams to these places that so desperately need medical help and the Good News of Yeshua (Jesus). Because of you, we were able to conduct a five-day Clinic in Alamata, which is about 250 miles north of the capital city of Addis Ababa. We ...

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...

Memorial Service December 14, 2018 I want to begin by apologizing to all my friends, co-workers and esteemed leaders for not being there in person for such an important gathering….but due to health reasons, I was not able to make the long journey.

From the day we first met here in Addis Ababa over...
