Ministry in Illinois

About this field

Chicago, home to more than a quarter million Jewish people, forms the hub of our Illinois ministries. In cooperation with other local organizations, our staff are reaching local Jewish people through English classes, relational ministry, campus ministry, and inviting the local church to engage with their Jewish neighbors.

Illinois is also home to Life in Messiah’s international headquarters (originally founded as the Chicago Hebrew Mission in 1887), where we train staff and manage the organization’s administrative details. This is also the location of our filming and recording studio, where we create content for our YouTube channel and record new episodes of The TŌV Podcast. Please contact us to learn about volunteering opportunities at Life in Messiah’s home office.

Pray for this ministry

  • Pray for kingdom-impacting fruit through our various ministries in the greater Chicago area.

  • Pray for diligence and wisdom for our administrative and executive teams at headquarters.

  • Pray for our videos, podcasts, and blogs to be far-reaching, and that our content will be encouraging to believers and challenging to unbelievers.
