Ministry in the United States
Outreach & Discipleship
Life in Messiah staff are looking for every opportunity to share the gospel. They can be found doing street outreach in big cities like New York, Miami and Chicago, as well as engaging students and faculty on major university campuses. In addition, our staff are chatting with seekers online from all over the world. We go wherever God opens the door to share the gospel.
Relational Outreach
Building relationships is important to us—really important. Our ministry is focused on building relationships by meeting people and sharing Messiah in a relaxed environment, such as parks and coffee shops. It’s more than simply handing out tracts. It’s about getting to know people, building relationships of trust and loving them as Yeshua loves them.
Leading Bible Studies
The study of God’s Word with Jewish friends helps lead participants to faith in Messiah. Studies with Gentile believers help them to see the importance of Jewish evangelism and God’s ongoing plans and purposes for the Jewish people. In addition, the study of God’s Word in its proper context helps believers gain a deeper appreciation for the Jewish roots of our faith.
US Ministry Overview
Russian Jewish Ministry
Life in Messiah has ministry near the campus of Moody Bible Institute. Moody students and staff members work to build relationships with the elderly Russian-Jewish residences of nearby apartment buildings in Chicago, Illinois. The ministry focuses on building friendships and meeting practical needs, such as: buying groceries, aiding in doctor’s appointments, teaching English and helping new immigrants adjust to the city.
Hosting Seder dinners & Teaching in Churches
Staff members are often sought to lead Seder dinners during the Passover season and teach congregations across the U.S. as a way to introduce the Church to the importance of Jewish ministry and the Jewish roots of our faith. If you are interested in a Seder dinner, “Messiah in the Passover,” for your small group of congregation, please contact our office to schedule a date! (708-418-0020)
Nursing Home Ministry
Field staff visit nursing homes with Jewish residences and help meet their practical needs. This is another opportunity to build relationships that allows staff members to share the hope within us through Messiah.
