T

he mission of Jewish Voice Ministries—first and foremost—is to introduce Jewish people to a saving knowledge of Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah. Along the way, we do all we can to meet physical needs by providing clean water, medical, dental and eye care, and other needed services. We do this because Yeshua told us to be compassionate, AND because humanitarian ministries lead people to salvation. This is possible only through your partnership! Your generosity makes it possible to demonstrate the love of Yeshua in concrete, practical ways. Many of the Jewish people you reach with the

Gospel, especially in Africa, are outcasts within their own communities because of their distinctly Jewish identity, belief, and worship. And when they accept Yeshua as Messiah, these people may even be rejected by their own family and community members! That’s why your support does more than just introduce Jewish people to Yeshua. You also encourage and disciple these new believers. Whenever possible, we connect Jewish Believers with existing Messianic congregations, where they can experience the worship, teaching, and discipleship they need. These congregations follow up with the hundreds or even thousands of people who confess faith in Yeshua through Jewish Voice

medical clinics and other outreach efforts. Where no congregation exists, your gifts enable one to be planted. You even build worship centers when needed.

these congregations—through partnerships with other organizations, annual leadership conferences, on-site visits, translation of materials, and ongoing training and guidance. These leaders are then key to developing community and spiritual maturity among Jewish Believers. Together, through your generous partnership, Messianic congregations—and new Messianic Believers—are getting the help they need to grow and flourish in Yeshua.

hen your support of Jewish Voice plants a new Messianic congregation, you also often help provide an additional blessing you may not know about: Early Childhood Development (ECD) Centers. Similar to a preschool, ECD Centers provide basic education as a critical first step, preparing children for future years of formal education and giving them greater opportunities for their future. And because the centers are open to all children in a village (not just Messianic congregation members), they become beacons of Yeshua’s love and compassion to entire communities. In addition to educating children in ECD Centers, the congregations serve as community centers and as focal points for village economic development. Whether the need is for clean water from a new well, looms for a local weaving industry, or chickens for eggs and meat, your support of Messianic Jewish congregations helps communities identify and address their most critical needs in a variety of ways. When you support Messianic congregations and Early Childhood Development Centers, you also provide community development opportunities, education for children, AND a clear witness to the love of Yeshua.

How you’re raising up godly Messianic leaders in Africa

E

ffective leadership is the key to success and growth for Messianic congregations in Ethiopia and Zimbabwe. That’s why your investment in identifying and training indigenous leaders for these congregations is so critical. We, like you, want to see these bodies of Believers grow strong under godly local leadership.

Your gifts support godly leaders in vibrant Messianic congregations.

The training efforts began out of requests from local congregations for additional resources. They were growing and developing. But they recognized their need for more effective leadership. Working with the local congregations, Jewish Voice helps identify those whom God has gifted for leadership roles. We then help provide them with theological and leadership training. By partnering with other organizations, we make certain they’re receiving a solid biblical and theological foundation. Already, national leaders are emerging, equipped to provide the oversight needed to grow even more leaders and support more congregations into the future. The efforts of these newly trained leaders are already bearing fruit. New Messianic Believers are learning how biblical truths apply to their lives—both personally and through their congregations and communities. There is still much to do, of course. And your prayers and financial investment are crucial. But the way ahead is clear, as early strategies to identify and equip new leaders have already had great success.

Beacons of hope One of my great joys as president and CEO of Jewish Voice is telling you about the many exciting ministries you make possible around the world. You know, of course, that your support leads Jewish people to salvation in Yeshua (Jesus). But one very important part of our work that we don’t often talk about is what happens AFTER we introduce someone to the Messiah. That’s where congregation and leadership development comes in! We have a dedicated team working every day to ensure that Messianic Believers— especially new Believers—get plugged into congregations that can help them grow. But, most important, we equip indigenous leaders for Messianic congregations—leaders who receive practical training to help them grow their congregations. As a result, Messianic congregations in Africa and elsewhere are becoming beacons—visible witnesses in their communities to the love and grace of Yeshua. It’s a growing and truly exciting movement. And I thank you for supporting this effort to ensure that God’s Kingdom is as deep as it is wide.

Through the planting and encouragement of Messianic congregations, and especially through the training of local leaders, you’re truly blessing Messianic Believers in Africa! Jonathan Bernis
