Prayer

You may not be surprised to hear that we will not be going to Zimbabwe in July. We were continuing to pray and prepare, but due to COVID-19 and Zimbabwe’s phased approach to “re-opening” their country, we will not be able to hold a Medical Outreach there this month. However, we have not completely cancelled this trip, but instead are trusting the Lord to enable it later this year. As you can imagine, this is a time for incredible grace and flexibility, especially pertaining to internatio...

The many congregations we either help support or partner with are on our hearts at this time. Two members of our Congregation and Leadership Development team were scheduled to make congregational visits in Africa in May. As you might guess, their visits had to be canceled this year due to COVID-19. We are in ongoing contact with these leaders and congregations and are also staying up to date as to how the coronavirus is impacting their nations and communities. We missed seeing them this ...

In our last Prayer Points, we asked you to pray for our NIGHT OF PROMISE event, which premiered May 29. At that time, we were feverishly completing last-minute details and eagerly anticipating what the Lord would do through this special broadcast. Now we want to bring you a brief update on this wonderful event so we can praise the Lord together. We will also include some ongoing requests around which we can unite in further intercession as we move ahead. PRAISES: We have heard great ...

This is an urgent call to prayer for an amazing event, coming up immediately! This year, we experienced a Passover like never before. The whole world was behind closed doors, praying for protection from a “plague.” As a result, Believers have been connecting globally through technology to worship, pray, seek the Lord and declare the Lord’s blessing over their cities and nations. But what’s next? The Lord spoke to Rabbi Jonathan Bernis regarding Shavuot and Pentecost’s significance, w...

Jonathan Bernis and Jewish Voice Ministries International are so grateful for all our Christian brothers and sisters who have supported our mission and stood by Israel throughout the years. In keeping with our vision, we ask that you join us in prayer for our friends at GOD TV and Shelanu TV during this season. Ward Simpson, CEO of GOD TV, is a dear friend to our ministry and a man after God’s heart in all he does. As GOD TV launched, Shelanu TV, the first Hebrew speaking network in Israel to...

We have experienced such joy ministering in Zimbabwe over the years. We’ve especially loved encountering and partnering with the Lemba Jewish people who live there. Aware that their DNA traces to the “kohenim” or priestly line of Israel, we have prayed for their prophetic destiny to be released as they come to know Yeshua (Jesus) as Savior and take their place in the Body of Messiah. One of the things that we’ve noted about the people of Zimbabwe is their resilience. However, over the past ...

“We wait in hope for the Lord; He is our help and our shield” (Psalm 33:20 NIV) This past week I’ve been thinking about how we are all doing a lot of waiting because of the pandemic. In last week’s Middle East Update, I shared our podcast about waiting with expectation. If you missed it, you can check it out here. But how are we waiting? I found 130 references in Scripture about waiting – most often in Psalms. We are called to “wait in hope for the Lord” as in Psalm 33. Wait in hope n...

Times of crisis expose our deep need for God’s mercy, power, and intervention. Throughout our history, Americans have expressed that need through prayer. From Colonial days to the present, our leaders have called for various days of prayer, and our nations’ citizens have responded. In 1952, President Harry Truman signed a bill allowing each U.S. president to proclaim a regular National Day of Prayer. However, it wasn’t until 1988 that the annual observance was designated to occur the first Thurs...

“Oh, magnify the Lord with me, And let us exalt His name together. I sought the Lord, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears” (Psalm 34:3-4 NKJV) Let us share with you just a tidbit of what you’ll hear in the special podcast we’ve put together for you this week. As we are all in this time of waiting because of COVID-19, I encourage you to really consider how you are spending this time and how you think of this season. Right now, especially, whatever we are focusing o...

Ethiopia is on our hearts right now, especially as COVID-19 is devastating countries all over the globe. As one of the key nations in which we minister in Africa, we long for the Kingdom of Light to come in greater measure to this country. Would you join us in praying for Ethiopia, the nation and its people? Please also pray for Jewish Voice’s work there and for those we minister to and with whom we partner. There is a complex interplay of many social, economic, tribal and religious issues in...
