Have you ever struggled to see in the dark? Maybe the electricity went off while you were walking through the house, or sunset caught you reading in a darkening room until you could barely make out the words. When light finally came, it brought relief.
Ephesians 6:12 tells us that, as Believers, our fight in this world is against spiritual forces of darkness. We encountered such darkness in Zambia, and you played a role in shining the light of Yeshua (Jesus) into the lives of people who needed to know His love and true hope.
Before we tell you more, here’s an overview of the lives you touched in Zambia through your support of Jewish Voice Ministries.
Into the Darkness
A mother and young daughter came to the Outreach’s Spiritual Care Ministry. A high fever as a toddler had left the girl with mental and physical challenges. The mother already believed in Yeshua, but Outreach Partners noticed a sign on the girl’s arm showing she’d been to a witch doctor.
A man visiting the dental department told a team member he had another need. “My knees,” he said, “I need the magic.” The partner explained, “We’re not doing magic. We’re praying in the name of Yeshua.” The man insisted, “No, no. Magic, magic.”
A heartbroken mother arrived carrying her lifeless baby, who had died on the way to our Clinic. Outreach Partners comforted her, sharing the Gospel, and the mother accepted Yeshua as the Messiah. The partners felt compelled to encourage her not to seek a witch doctor for her grief.
These stories amplify the spiritual environment in which we ministered in Zambia. Throughout the city, signs attached to light posts advertised mystical cures for every misfortune. In a place with so much need and so little medical care available, people often turn to whatever is within reach. Desperate, hurting people consult witch doctors without realizing it opens the door to spiritual darkness.
You Brought Light
Into this spiritual darkness, you brought light. Through your support, you helped bring the light and genuine hope of Yeshua to the people of Chiwena, Zambia. Because of you, thousands received quality medical care and nearly 2,000 heard the Good News of the Messiah. Those who accepted Him now carry His light in their families and communities. And two new Messianic Jewish congregations have formed to help them grow in their faith and spread the light of truth.
You made all this possible.
You have truly transformed lives.
Thank you!
