Jewish Voice Ministries International

What Jewish Voice Ministries International does

Jewish Voice Ministries International (JVMI) is a 501(c)(3) Messianic Jewish ministry headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, with regional operations in the United Kingdom (Jewish Voice Ministries UK) and Canada (Jewish Voice Ministries Canada). The organization has been operating since 1973 and focuses on three programmatic pillars: sharing the Gospel with Jewish people, growing the Messianic Jewish community, and engaging the Christian church concerning Israel and the Jewish people. Core products include a weekly television program hosted by Rabbi Jonathan Bernis, an online store selling books, DVDs, Judaica, and educational resources, recurring medical outreach trips in remote African communities where marginalized Jewish populations live, the Shalom Partners monthly recurring giving program, and the Love Your Jewish Neighbor grassroots engagement initiative.

JVMI has built a differentiated operational footprint through more than 20 years of ministry in Africa, having planted or supported planting of 145+ locally-led Messianic Jewish congregations, and through a network of 80+ partner ministries across Israel providing humanitarian aid, emergency shelter, addiction rehabilitation, and crisis support. Its underlying technology is a television broadcast ministry platform supplemented by digital distribution across email, SMS, website, and social media channels (Facebook, X, YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram), plus a BigCommerce-powered e-commerce storefront.

The business model is donation-based rather than commercial. Revenue streams include one-time gifts, monthly recurring Shalom Partner commitments (minimum 12-month subscription), alternative/planned giving, and product-based giving via the online store where prices function as suggested donations. The organization is governed by separate US, Canadian, and UK boards, with Rabbi Jonathan Bernis serving as President and CEO, Ronald L. Russell as Chairman of the Board, and Rabbi Elliot Klayman, a board member since 1973, serving as Secretary. JVMI holds ECFA accreditation and undergoes voluntary annual independent audits, supporting donor trust and financial accountability standards.

Direct peers

• Jews for Jesus: One of the largest Messianic Jewish evangelism organizations in the world, sharing the Gospel with Jewish people through media, literature, and outreach campaigns. Highly comparable mission, donor base, and programming model to JVMI; indeed JVMI board member Susan Perlman was a co-founder of Jews for Jesus.
• Chosen People Ministries: Long-established (founded 1894) Messianic Jewish ministry focused on evangelism, congregational planting, and theological training for Jewish believers. Operates a parallel set of programs—TV/radio, missionary training (via Chosen People Bible Institute), and international outreach—closely matching JVMI's portfolio.
• International Board of Jewish Missions: Faith-based organization dedicated to Jewish evangelism worldwide, combining missionary training, humanitarian aid, and church education. Highly comparable in mission scope and supporter profile to JVMI.
• Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry: Evangelical ministry focused on proclaiming the Gospel to Jewish people, providing humanitarian aid in Israel, and educating the church about Israel and prophecy. Closely mirrors JVMI's combination of Israel humanitarian work, broadcast outreach, and church-engagement programming.
• Together for Israel: Messianic Jewish ministry founded by JVMI board member Scott Volk, focused on equipping and mobilizing the church to support Israel and Jewish believers. Directly comparable mission and leadership pipeline to JVMI.
• Chosen People Bible Institute: Training arm of Chosen People Ministries that prepares missionaries for Jewish evangelism. Comparable to JVMI's Messianic Jewish leadership development and Kaplan Memorial Alumni Association programming referenced on its site.
• International Messianic Jewish Alliance: Global umbrella organization connecting and credentialing Messianic Jewish congregations worldwide. Directly relevant to JVMI's work planting and supporting the 145+ Messianic congregations in Africa.

Emerging players

• First Fruits of Zion: Messianic Jewish educational and publishing ministry producing teaching materials, magazines, and online content on Jewish roots of the Christian faith. Comparable to JVMI's teaching/publishing and Jewish-roots educational content offerings.
• HaYovel: Christian volunteer organization mobilizing believers to serve in Israel through agricultural and community projects, with strong broadcast/media presence. Comparable to JVMI's volunteer-driven outreach trips in Israel and multi-channel content distribution.

Broad incumbents

• Samaritan's Purse: Large evangelical humanitarian organization operating international medical missions, disaster relief, and broadcast ministry (Operation Christmas Child). Comparable to JVMI's medical outreach model and faith-based donor base, but at significantly larger scale and broader humanitarian scope.
