CMJ Israel reports on a year of wartime ministry

What's it like to visit Israel in wartime? The Goodwins from Nashville have been to Israel four times in the past year. Each time they've been blessed and encouraged as they have ministered the love of Yeshua to Israelis.

The Israel-Hamas War and now the escalation with Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon has inflamed the whole region. And yet, God works his redemption and reconciliation in the midst of the conflict.

How will Christians respond to the rising antisemitism?

The Mercy Fund, based at Christ Church Jerusalem, has been serving the needy and displaced -- both Jew and Arab -- since before the war began.

An update and prayer via our Israel colleagues

Join us on October 15 via Zoom for this national event

The LORD has been expanding our tent pegs in 2024. We've added staff. We'll soon launch Bridge Builders Essentials and the Aleph Dinner and Discussion program. We've exhibited at big events, like the Anglican Church of North American Assembly and the Messiah Conference. We love to meet you all in person. We are moving the direction the Lord has called us. God wants us to build bridges with our Jewish neighbors, and we are filling up the toolbox for you. Gathering and preparing resources like Bridge Builders Essentials and the Aleph Dinner and Discussion program has a financial cost. As Director Emeritus Philip Bottomley reminds me, "The Lord pays for what he orders." But we also know that the Lord loves to use his saints to be conduits of his abundant provision. We are grateful for those of you who are regular givers. Thank you! You are integral partners. If you are not yet a financial partner, please prayerfully consider coming alongside us.

Jewish Media Review - September 2024. I will admit that I have war fatigue. I am tired. I am weary of the news, of the uncertainty, of the death. Yet, I’m just reading about it. I’m not living in a country at war like our CMJ Israel colleagues. Like the disciples at Gethsemane, I am tempted to sleep as someone suffers anguish nearby.

CMJ USA was privileged to co-sponsor a special international event in Cleveland, Ohio, featuring writers, teachers, historians, Jewish thinkers, and Christian leaders from around the world.
