Are you ready to serve the Lord? Want to learn what matzo ball, mitzvah and Messiah have in common? Do you have a love for God’s chosen people? This is a time of great opportunity for believers who have a heart for the Jewish people. Are you one of them? If so, then a short-term experience in Jewish outreach, including evangelism, discipleship, and hands-on training, is for you. The Great Commission challenge “to the Jew first” (Romans 1:16) is just as true today as it ever was – and the opportunities to share the Gospel with Jewish people are greater than ever! Why don’t you call us? We would love to speak with you about joining one of our teams in this exciting work of bringing the Gospel to the Jewish people.
Yours in Messiah, The Short-Term Missions Team
Summer Training and Evangelism Program STEP is a whirlwind week of in-depth training, engaging evangelism and Jewish cultural excursions.
Below is a typical day for STEP:
“We were in Grand Central on an outreach and I saw a sea of heads bobbing up and down as they rushed along their ways. It reminded me of wheat fields blowing in the wind. I couldn’t help but think of the Scripture speaking of the harvest fields being ripe unto the harvest. I was rejuvenated during that outreach with new strength and excitement!” —STEPper Why not use a few days of your vacation to learn about the Jewish people, experience the culture and share the message of salvation? It’s a wonderful opportunity to bring your home group or Sunday school class for a week-long ministry adventure!
Outreach Israel Is there a special place in your heart for Israel? Do you have a desire to spend more time there than a mere vacation or tour would allow? Do you want to participate in dynamic ministry in a place so desperate for authentic peace? During Outreach Israel, you will be able to share in people’s lives, and express your faith to the surprisingly secular and the “unreachable” orthodox. In addition, you will spend time in practical activities like meeting and encouraging believing young people, hosting kids’ camps and helping with various service projects. You will be encouraged by the growth of the Messianic congregations in Israel and the genuine honesty of seekers’ questions as you assist long-term workers in reaching out to their communities . The memories and ministry you will experience in such a “dry and thirsty land” will be enough to tug on your heart for years to come. Bring your love and enthusiasm for the people of Israel and use your gifts and talents to help shine the light of Messiah in the Land where He lived!
eXperience Israel eXperience Israel is a two-week spiritual pilgrimage program for young adults (ages 18-35) who want to engage with God by walking through the pages of biblical history and serving the people who live in the Holy Land. More than just a study and sightseeing tour, this trip provides numerous opportunities to bless the people of Israel while partnering with several vibrant Israeli ministries and humanitarian aid organizations. In addition to seeing the Scriptures come to life on location through insightful teaching “through Jewish eyes� and partaking in passionate worship experiences, you will be the hands and feet of Yeshua (Jesus) in the land where it all began. We are confident that this two-week introductory endeavor to the homeland of Yeshua will not only help solidify the foundations of your faith, but provide life-changing encounters with God, His Land, and His people that will inspire and challenge you for years to come.
Internships An internship with Chosen People Ministries is a unique opportunity that will change your life forever. Here’s why:
It’s in New York City! The New York metropolitan area has the largest Jewish population in the world outside of Israel. The opportunities for hands-on ministry are plenty, making it a great place to learn about Jewish missions. Plus, let’s be honest, New York is pretty cool!
We’re focused on your development. Our intention isn’t that you would be pushing papers in an office all day, but rather that you would grow deeper in your relationship with the Lord—all while working in practical ministry activities.
Flexibility Our internship programs are structured to allow you to commit any length of time from 10 weeks to 6 months. There is also time built into the program for you to take college or graduate classes, learn Hebrew or Russian, or get a part-time job to help subsidize the expense of the internship.
Individuals and Groups Bring your group to learn, see, and experience Jewish ministry together. Receive training in communicating your faith to Jewish friends and put your know-how to work across the surprising spectrum of Jewish people. Visit the fascinating neighborhoods and Jewish cultural landmarks that New York City has to offer. We provide a welcoming environment of training and discussion, a variety of outreach opportunities and fun-filled, typically Jewish tourist adventures. You decide how long you minister with us and you determine your budget. You and your fellow group members will grow spiritually and create the unique bond of friendship that comes from ministering together as you reach out to the Jewish community of New York City.
There is only one missing element.
