Quick! Name a country where Jewish Voice has ministered.
Ethiopia. Zimbabwe. India.
Yes, yes and yes. And don’t forget Poland, Ukraine, Argentina, Mexico. The list goes on.
However, despite the international nature of our ministry, a burden for the United States, where we are headquartered, has never been far from Rabbi Jonathan Bernis’ heart.
“Comfort, comfort My people, says your God.”
Isaiah 40:1 (NIV)
Shalom, my friend.
“All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations will bow down before Him . . .”
Psalm 22:27 (NIV)
Shalom, my friend.
Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember and honor the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Those who suffered and died at the hands of the ideological madness of Nazism, and those who were able to escape.
Like many of you, we have watched with a growing sense of urgency as world events have unfolded these last two years. We have sought the Lord in prayer and are beginning 2022 with greater clarity and priority in several areas. We consider these priorities “apostolic” in nature as they involve the elements of reaching out, sending, and breaking new ground.
“The LORD gives strength to His people;
the LORD blesses His people with peace.”
Psalm 29:11 (NIV)
Shalom, my friend.
No matter what you’re facing today – personal challenge, obstacle to faith or overwhelming brokenness – the Scriptures promise that God is close at hand to bring strength and peace.
There’s no greater promise we have from God – which was ultimately realized in the coming of His Son, Yeshua (Jesus), the Messiah.
And you’re a part of it.
Thank you for blessing the Jewish people — in Israel and across the globe. Your generosity as a faithful partner in this Kingdom work we share brings true hope to so many people in desperate need. And God has used you — to be a key part of extraordinary ministry around the world!
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem— “May those who love you be at peace!’”
Psalm 122:6 (TLV)
Shalom, my friend.
Peace can seem so far away. Our world is rife with animosity and anger, confusion and uncertainty and even fear of the unknown.
At the start of each year, we go on “scouting trips” to locations we are planning or prayerfully hoping to hold Outreaches. This year, however, will be different than previous years.
