Our Vision
We want to help Jewish people see that Jesus is our promised Messiah who came in fulfillment of the ancient Jewish prophecies. It is actually quite a Jewish thing to believe in him. We want to help our brothers and sisters in Messiah (the Church) understand the Jewish roots of our faith.

December 2025 Newsletter (in part)
Dear friend of the Jewish people,
Merry Messiahmas!
What is "Messiahmas," you ask? We jokingly say Messiahmas instead of Christmas, because the word Christ in Hebrew is "Messiah" (Machiach, or "anointed one").
We know that Jesus that wasn't born on December 25th. However, this season, as most Christians celebrate his birth, is a great opportunity to reflect on the beauty of our Messiah and to share him with others.
As we arrive at Christmas, we're reflecting on some of the prophecies describing that baby that would be born in Bethlehem:
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders. He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end.” Isaiah 9:6
"Prince of Peace." What a beautiful name. In Hebrew the title is Sar Shalom.
Sar means “prince, government official, ruler, noble, commander.” Shalom means peace, but not just the ‘peace’ we imagine as the absence of conflict. Shalom contains wholeness, completeness, soundness, health, rest, and safety in every aspect. This is what the Messiah’s government will look like. This is his kingdom. His leadership.

In the angel Gabriel’s announcement to Mary, his language intentionally connects this prophecy with the birth of Messiah Jesus: “You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.” Luke 1:31-33
How we long for the Prince of Peace to bring true peace to Israel and to the world.
Most Jewish people around the world do not know the Prince of Peace. We pray and labor to that end. Thank you so much for your support of our ministry to the Jewish community!
In Him and with joy and thankfulness,
