Read about the ministry ›
We relentlessly pursue God’s plan for the salvation of the Jewish people.
Many people believe that Jews who believe in Jesus are no longer Jews, that believing in Jesus and being Jewish are mutually exclusive categories. This fear of losing their Jewish heritage and identity is one of the biggest hurdles to salvation for Jewish people.
Jews for Jesus works day and night to get the message of Jesus to the Israeli people through weekly outreach, one-on-one visits, and phone calling. Each missionary builds a caseload, follows up with their contacts, and earnestly shares about the love of Jesus. The Young Adult Ministry Team, housed at their Moishe Rosen Center, is reaching the Florentin neighborhood in Tel Aviv by hosting art galleries, cultural events, and regular weekly meetings for high school age believers, Israeli soldiers, a women’s book club, and a Messianic congregation.
