How much does Jewish Voice spend on ministry versus administration expenses?

What will my donation support when I give to Jewish Voice Ministries Canada?  

Jewish Voice Ministries exists to transform lives and see all Israel saved. Jewish Voice does this by proclaiming the Gospel to the Jew first, growing the Messianic Jewish community and engaging the Church concerning Israel and the Jewish people. Here are some of the ministry initiatives that your gifts support:  

• Humanitarian Aid to Struggling Jewish Communities in Africa 
  “People don’t care what you know until they know that you care,” says Jewish Voice President and CEO Jonathan Bernis. Meeting essential practical needs opens hearts to hearing the Gospel. Jewish Voice conducts Medical Outreaches for the marginalised and persecuted Jewish people in various remote African communities where healthcare is unavailable or unaffordable. While offering free medical, dental and eye care – that restores eyesight, heals wounds and often saves lives – we also offer the Good News of Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah, providing both physical and spiritual healing. 
• Ministry in Israel  
  Jewish Voice is honored to work with many dozens of ministry partners in Israel. These organisations reach deeply into communities throughout Israel, offering practical resources and spiritual guidance. Among our ministry partners are those who offer humanitarian aid, emergency shelter and resources, pro-life assistance, addiction rehabilitation, education and Bible teaching, immigration support, and help for women in crisis. Others provide aid to Holocaust survivors, meeting essential needs to those struggling to live below the poverty and often in great loneliness. At the heart of these ministries is the desire to spread the Good News that Jesus is the long-awaited Jewish Messiah. 
• Messianic Jewish congregations in Africa 
  During our more than 20 years of ministry in Africa, Jewish Voice has planted or helped indigenous leadership plant well over 100 locally-led Messianic Jewish congregations.  With ongoing support and leadership training from Jewish Voice, these fellowships are grounding Believers in God’s Word and impacting their communities in significant ways through local ministry efforts.
• Engaging the Church concerning Israel and the Jewish people 
  God is not finished with Israel, nor has He rejected her as His Chosen People; Israel continues to play a key role in God’s redemptive plan for the world. Understanding the Jewish roots of God’s covenants with the Jewish people enriches one’s faith in Jesus. Jewish Voice engages the Church concerning these things through television, a podcast, print media, digital channels and speaking engagements. We believe that the Church coming into the fullness of this understanding, and of her vital role as it relates to the Jewish people, is an essential key to the salvation of all Israel (Romans 11:26). 

Can I sell or advertise my books or products through Jewish Voice?  

No, we do not offer this service. Our online store includes carefully selected resources that represent our ministry emphasis. We offer books, DVDs and CD teachings by Jewish Voice’s President and CEO, Rabbi Jonathan Bernis, who hosts our weekly television program. Resources also include gift and home décor items, many of which we design ourselves and are exclusive to Jewish Voice, as well as books and media by guests on our television program.

How can I get a LifeStraw® for myself?  

Currently, we do not offer LifeStraws® for self-purchase. They are available from our gift catalog through which your donation purchases a LifeStraw® for someone in need in the areas where we minister. LifeStraws® are available for individual purchase on the internet through various websites. If you have additional questions, feel free to call or email us at 855-793-7482 or partnerservices@jewishvoice.org, and one of our Partner Services Representatives will be happy to help you. 

What if I found an error or don’t agree with something Jewish Voice has said or written?

We take biblical accuracy seriously. If you’ve found that we’ve made an error in representing a Scripture reference or other mistake, first, thank you for paying attention. Next, know that we make every effort to produce mistake-proof content and have a team of editors that checks what we create. If something slipped past us, we apologise. If you’ve found something you disagree with, we understand. Given the sheer number of views, denominations and interpretations of Scripture that exist today, it’s bound to happen. We appreciate your grace.

Additionally, we strive to present a Messianic Jewish worldview as we see it in the Scriptures. We realize that this may be unfamiliar to a Christian audience and even challenge some beliefs many have been taught. Above all, we encourage our audience to do as Ezra Benjamin, our Vice President of Global Ministry Affairs says: “Don’t outsource your discernment.” Dive into the Scriptures yourself and trust them more than what any person or organisation says. The Bible encourages every Believer to be like the Bereans who searched the Scriptures to verify that what was presented to them was biblical (Acts 17:11). We’re glad you’re doing just that.

We’re committed to financial accountability.
