More about Life in Messiah
"Taking the message of Jesus as Messiah to Jewish people is an integral part of God’s redemptive plan,” A Life in Messiah board member
We are evangelical, conservative believers who love Messiah Jesus and the Jewish people.
We want to take every opportunity to share the “hope that is within us,” the free, full, forever life available through a relationship with Messiah Jesus.
We have staff in Israel, France, Mexico, Canada, the Netherlands, and across the United States.
We began as the Chicago Hebrew Mission in 1887 by William E. Blackstone, a contemporary of Dwight L. Moody, R.A. Torrey, A.B. Simpson, and James Gray. To read more about our founder, read “God’s Little Errand Boy,” at http://www.lifeinmessiah.org/gleb.php
Life in Messiah takes a fervent stand that God's love for the Jewish people is everlasting (Jer. 31:3) and that His promises are eternal. The covenant of Sinai is taken at face value, believing God’s promise to Israel cannot be revoked or reassigned, rejecting outright the unbiblical notion that God has rejected Israel in favor of the Church. As the Scriptures affirm in Romans 11, “God’s gift and His call are irrevocable,” (Romans 11:29).
Never known as a “cookie-cutter” organization, as field staff join Life in Messiah, they are encouraged to develop a ministry plan for the place God was calling them and that would best use their gifts and strengths. Day-to-day life looks very different for our staff. They may be visiting those oft forgotten in nursing homes, teaching Bible studies, teaching evangelism classes about sharing with Jewish friends, literature distribution in Jewish communities, and leading congregations of Jewish people who love Messiah Jesus.
It’s all about relationships. Our staff has placed themselves in Jewish communities and neighborhoods so they can serve their friends and neighbors. Taking people to the doctor, shopping for them, or just having coffee and talking meet the needs of so many.
If you have a Jewish friend with whom you’d like to share, if your congregation would like to extend a hand of friendship to a local synagogue, or if you sense God leading you to work with a ministry that has Jewish people as a priority, please contact us. http://www.lifeinmessiah.org/contact.php.
