About CMJ
CMJ is short for 'The Church's Ministry among Jewish people' and we have been investing in the spiritual rebirth of the Jewish people since 1809.
The work began among the poor Jewish immigrants in the East End of London and soon spread to Europe, South America, Africa and Israel. CMJ became the biggest mission organisation in the world with over 250 missionaries. For more information on the history of CMJ why not order copies of Kelvin Crombie's books, 'For the Love of Zion' and 'The Restoration of the Kingdom to Israel' from Olive Press (email enquires@cmj.org.uk.)
Today CMJ's mission is:
'To encourage Jewish people to come to faith in Yeshua (Jesus) as their Messiah, to support them in serving him as Lord in the light of God's purpose for them, and to equip the church to be involved in this mission'
We do this through the three Es - Evangelism, Encouragement and education. In the UK we fulfil this mission by:
- Employing evangelists in London and Manchester who sensitively share the gospel with Jewish people and train others to do so.
- Encouraging and supporting the spiritual growth of Messianic believers and congregations in the UK.
- Providing teaching materials for churches and groups.
- Supporting prayer groups with information for prayer and running an emergency prayer line.
- Teaching about Jewish roots in churches, theological colleges and universities.
- Building positive relationships between Christians and Messianic Jewish believers.
- Running Shoresh Study Tours to Israel.
- Working with other Christian organisations that support Israel.
- Providing major funding to support the work of CMJ Israel.
