Yahudic Jew in Israel

Have you ever heard of the "Yahudic" Jews? They are Jews who settled in the area now called Iraq after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians in 586 BC and Romans in 70 AD. Almost all of these Iraqi Jews have left Iraq and moved to Israel. For hundreds of years they have been regarded as the leading scholars of the Jewish world. Most Yahudic Jews in Israel speak Hebrew, Arabic and English.

Ministry Obstacles

Many Jews may view "Christians" as responsible for the Holocaust, the murder of six million Jews during World War II. Jews often see becoming a "Christian" as forsaking their families and ancient culture.

Outreach Ideas

Messianic Jews can share with the Yahudic Jews in Israel how they found their Messiah.

Scripture Focus

"I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word."  Psalm 138:2

Scripture Prayer

Pray that many from this people group will delight in His promises, and seek His unfailing love.

Prayer Focus

Pray that the Messianic fellowships in Israel might grow in number and size as more and more Yahudic Jews encounter and trust in their Messiah. Pray that God would show his grace by leading more Yahudic Jewish people to himself. Pray that God would stir the hearts of Christ followers to share the good news of the perfect Jew, Jesus the Messiah. Pray that the Lord would raise up a Christ-ward movement among the Yahudic Jews of Israel in this decade. Pray for more workers to go to the Jewish peoples of Israel.
