Growing the Messianic Jewish Community
A Unique Problem
Many Jewish Believers in Jesus feel like they’re living between two different worlds without fitting in either one. That’s why the Messianic Jewish community is so important. It’s a place where Jewish Believers can visibly live out their Jewish identity while worshiping Jesus as the Messiah promised in the Hebrew Scriptures.
Building Community
Jewish Voice is committed to growing the worldwide Messianic Jewish community through discipling new Believers, planting new congregations and training leaders among the “Lost Tribes of Israel” around the world and all places where there are Jewish communities in need. These leaders continue reaching out with the Gospel in their areas and strengthening the faith of those in their fellowships.
As indigenous congregations form national networks, become self-sustaining and multiply, we release their indigenous ministry as the most effective work in reaching more Jewish people with the vital message of the Gospel.
A Global Community
Members of the “Lost Tribes of Israel” often live in remote places isolated from the worldwide Jewish community. As we share the Gospel among them and among other communities and help establish new congregations of Messianic Jewish Believers in Jesus, the end goal is to connect them with the international Messianic Jewish community.
We also help existing Messianic congregations in Israel and elsewhere to strengthen their ministries and extend their reach with the Gospel.
Here are some of the places we help to grow the Messianic Jewish Community:
The Impact You're Making...
The Louis and Chira Kaplan Memorial Scholarship Fund
The Louis and Chira Kaplan Memorial Scholarship Fund invests in training Messianic Jewish leaders of today and tomorrow. The fund awards tuition scholarships to applicants with goals of becoming leaders or enriching their existing leadership roles within the Messianic Jewish community by furthering their biblical and Messianic Jewish education.
The scholarship fund is named after Jewish Voice’s founder, Louis Kaplan, and his beloved wife, Chira, who devoted decades of their lives to Messianic Jewish ministry.

"I graduated with my degree in Marketing Management, Bachelor of Commerce – praise God! I am excited for all that God has in store moving forward! I will be starting Teacher’s College at another university and I am so happy to be attending a believing school! God has been so gracious, and I am still so grateful for all of JVMI’s donors support and prayers!"
- Regina O., Canada
"I'm a social worker and a follower of Jesus, and love to share the good news with the homeless in Israel. Doing ministry to people on the streets and opening a shelter for women with my organization helped me realize that I want to make a bigger impact. So, I pursued a master's degree at Tel Aviv University in policy and social rights promotion. I not only learned a lot but also met other people in the same field who I still learn from today. I want to say a big thank you to JVMI and their donors. Their support made it possible for me to study while dealing with being a new wife and mom and all the costs around that."
- Danielle M., Israel
