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...

“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. 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. No matter what is happening in our world, it is such a blessing to have faithful friends standing with us in support of Israel and her people. 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...

“These days should be remembered and observed in every generation by every family, and in every province and in every city. And these days of Purim should never fail to be celebrated by the Jews – nor should the memory of these days die out among their descendants.” Esther 9:28 (NIV) Happy Purim! Let’s rejoice together as we recall how God rescued His People and provided for and protected them in Esther’s day, throughout history and still today. And let’s celebrate how He has ultimate...

It’s almost Purim, which celebrates the Jewish people’s rescue from the evil plot of Haman, an anti-Christ figure. Key to this biblical account is Esther, a young Jewish woman who became queen of Persia. In a time of crisis, her relative Mordecai persuaded Esther to stand before the King on behalf of her people. Can you quote Mordecai’s famous exhortation to her? He told her, “For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and yo...

Passover is one of the most important holidays on the Jewish calendar. It’s often called a watershed in Jewish history. What’s a watershed? A watershed is a point of dramatic change dividing something into clear “before” and “after” identities. A watershed event or moment alters a subject’s trajectory. Whereas it may have continued on one path, a watershed sets it on another, reshaping and perhaps redefining it. Before Passover, the nation of Israel was enslaved to Pharaoh. The Jewish p...

“Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens. Our God is a God who saves; from the Sovereign LORD comes escape from death.” Psalm 68:19-20 (NIV) As we move closer to Purim, I hope you know how much I treasure you and your partnership. It is critical that we, as Believers in Jesus, stand with Israel and the Jewish people and I’m so thankful that you do! Purim is about celebrating God’s deliverance of the Jewish people from destruction. Throughout history, fro...

“Because he has devoted his love to Me, I will deliver him. I will set him securely on high, because he knows My Name. When he calls on Me, I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble, rescue him, and honor him.” Psalm 91:14-15 (TLV) It’s such a blessing for me to take just a few moments each week to gather these thoughts to share them with you, one of our most trusted friends. Thank you for joining with me on this ministry journey and for investing a few minutes to read these w...

“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves in tender compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” Colossians 3:12 (TLV) Already we are in a new month of this new year. While we hold out hope for change, we still face many of the same challenges and ongoing tensions. That’s why I want us to focus on what we can do to bring about change. Let’s live out our faith as God’s people, knowing we are deeply and dearly loved by our Creator. We can br...
