Our Work
Who We Serve
Romans 1:16 proclaims, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.” The Jewish people are a priority for the Gospel message. In fact, even though the Apostle Paul was called to reach the Gentiles, he consistently and systematically went to the Jewish people first in every area he journeyed.
This blueprint for the Good News should continue until the Lord returns.
The Orthodox Jewish community is one of the most unreached people groups, with believers far less than 1%. There are multiple reasons for this, but the message of Jesus’ love requires deep sensitivity, respect, and patience.
Messiah’s Shofar is called to bring the Truth of Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) into these communities, emphasizing His message and life are compatible with Jewish faith and customs. Our heart’s plea is to build genuine relationships, demonstrate Messiah’s love through actions, and share how Jesus fulfills the Hebrew Scriptures.
Our ministry also desires to equip believers with the knowledge and understanding of why historical and cultural issues, antisemitism, and theological differences effect our witness to the Jewish people. We do this to encourage followers of Jesus to understand the Jewish foundation of our faith, stand in solidarity with the nation of Israel, and reach out to them with the Good News.
Ways We Serve
Outreach
We engage in direct conversations with the Jewish people about Jesus, their promised Messiah. Our desire is to share the Gospel with the Jewish people in a Jewish context and to proclaim it is ok to believe the most famous Jew that ever lived is the Messiah!

Involvement
Not only did Yeshua (Jesus) desire to meet spiritual needs of the “house of Israel,” He also met the physical needs of those He loved.
We strive to actively participate in the Jewish community through farming projects, benevolence efforts, community dinners, and friendship building—demonstrating the love of Jesus in action.
“But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.” — 1 John 1:7

Education
We equip the church to share the Gospel of Jesus with their Jewish friends and neighbors. Our goal is to teach believers the importance of reaching the Jewish people with the love of Jesus in the context of the Bible, and to prepare them to stand firmly against antisemitism.
