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.
What Students Are Saying
"The Jewish Voice Scholarship Program enabled me to graduate with a Master of Theological Studies degree from Emory University without student debt and prepared me to embark on a life of Messianic Jewish ministry. Since earning my degree, I disciple Jewish believers and continue to create educational content to strengthen the faith and identity of the Messianic Jewish community by sharing Bible teachings, Messianic Jewish history, and responding to counter-missionaries. The Lord used JVMI to empower and equip me for a life of ministry to the Jewish people and the Messianic Jewish community.
- Eric M., USA
The Jewish Voice Scholarship enabled me to study courses in Latin, Hebrew, European History, Biblical History and Classical Literature that provided me with an invaluable perspective on secular, atheistic and even anti-theistic people's convictions, how they analyze the Scriptures and their ideas, and what concepts they have particular difficulty accepting. More importantly, I realized that a Biblical, God-filled worldview is the most expansive, comprehensive, correct and full worldview and blueprint for our lives. This has deepened my understanding of the vitality of ministry and the importance of being intentional in my explorations in the Word and in my faith.
- Adel Z., Canada
I am immensely grateful to Jewish Voice’s contribution to my Bachelor’s in the Messianic Jewish Studies program at TKU & Master’s in Theological Studies from Duke. My studies have prepared me for my content development role at our church where one of our values is “to the Jew first”. I’m able to weave what I have learned through my background and education into much of the content I develop and also have many other opportunities to connect with Jewish ministry. In part thanks to JVMI, I was able to graduate with no student debt! I look forward to seeing how God continues to use my education and Messianic ministry experience in the years to come.
