June 1‒7 Prayer for Israel Yom Yerushalayim - Jerusalem Day Jerusalem Day (beginning at sundown June 2) celebrates the reunification of Jerusalem under Israeli control.

It’s spring, and for Jewish Voice Ministries International, that means congregational visits. Leaders from our U.S. headquarters travel to Africa and meet with congregations that have “sprung up” as a result of the Good News going forth in Ethiopia and Zimbabwe. When we bring medical and dental care in Yeshua’s name to these nations, we also desire to see locally-led congregations form that can provide discipleship and fellowship for the new Believers. It’s happening! Currently, more than 120...

In 1947, they turned the matter over to the United Nations. Until it gained sovereignty, the would-be State of Is...
