Maltese Jewish in Malta

Because of the uniqueness of their history and culture, all Jews have a strong sense of identity. Persecution of and discrimination against the Jews have been the historical reasons for their migrations and settlements around the world. Anti-Semitism was prevalent and frequently led to either persecution or expulsion. Some of them live in Malta, an island nation in the Mediterranean Sea.

Ministry Obstacles

The Jews have a wonderful understanding of their connection with the Abrahamic Covenant. However, they also have a history of rejecting Jesus Christ as Messiah, the one who has fulfilled that covenant. They often feel threatened by those who call their attention to Jesus.

Outreach Ideas

Maltese believers can potentially lead Jews to see Jesus in a different light. It is important that these ideas not be presented in a way that Jews interpret as anti-Semitic.
