Beyond the Broadcast: Our Bold New Season Begins. Watch Now ->
Your partnership helped bring care, prayer and the Good News of Yeshua (Jesus) to thousands of people in Zimbabwe. Then God did what only He could do.
Some people began waiting before the Clinic even opened.
Others walked for hours or traveled by donkey over difficult roads. One woman walked with her family for seven hours and camped overnight so she could receive dental care.
They came because medical, dental, and eye care can be extremely difficult to find in this remote area of Zimbabwe.
Because friends like you prayed, gave, and stood with Jewish Voice, a Clinic was waiting for them.
Doctors, nurses, dentists, prayer ministers, and volunteers were ready to welcome each person with dignity and love. By the end of the Outreach, 8,463 people had received care.
One image came to represent what our team witnessed throughout the week: empty stretchers.
An unusual number of people arrived at the Clinic unable to walk. Family members and neighbors carried them in on stretchers and brought them to the medical teams.
After receiving care, some chose to visit the counseling and prayer tent.
One woman came in on a stretcher, unable to walk. As the team listened to her story and ministered to her, she turned away from her involvement in witchcraft and received Yeshua (Jesus) as her Messiah.
Then she stood.
She walked out of the Clinic under her own power.
The stretcher that had carried her in was left empty.
Pastor Tim, our Global Outreach spiritual affairs coordinator, picked up her empty stretcher and carried it to the front of the line so it could be used for someone else.
Then it happened again.
People were brought in on stretchers, received prayer, and walked away without them. One woman who had reportedly been unable to walk for two years stood and began to walk.
The team began referring to it as “The Outreach of the Empty Stretchers.”
These were not moments anyone could manufacture or explain. They were reminders that our God heals and redeems, revealing His power and compassion to people who desperately need Him.
Your partnership did not perform these miracles. God alone deserves that glory.
Your prayers and generosity helped place the team in that remote community. You helped provide the medical supplies, equipment, and people needed to serve thousands. You helped create an opportunity for hurting people to receive care and encounter the love of Yeshua.
One man looked around the Clinic at all the people serving and said that what he saw was the love of Jesus.
That is what your partnership helped communicate.
Before a person ever reached the prayer tent, they had already been welcomed, examined, and cared for. They had already seen the love of Yeshua expressed through compassionate action.
Esther was walking a young boy and his family from the pharmacy to the prayer tent.
She spoke to him in a few words she had learned in Zimbabwe’s Shona language, but he did not respond. His mother pointed to his right ear and explained that he could not hear through it. A significant scar was visible near the ear.
They began praying as they walked.
Inside the prayer tent, Esther and the team continued to pray for the boy. Then they spoke into his right ear – and he responded.
With the help of a translator, Esther asked him, “Do you know who healed you?”
The little boy pointed to her.
“No,” she gently told him. “Yeshua healed you.”
It was a simple moment that told the whole story.
The team came to serve, and you helped send them. Yeshua was the One who touched this child’s life.
Every patient seen at a Jewish Voice Medical Outreach receives care freely, with no spiritual requirement attached.
The prayer and counseling tent is positioned near the exit, so that after they’ve received physical care, people may choose whether they want to receive spiritual care. At this Outreach, 4,228 people voluntarily entered to talk, receive encouragement, and ask for prayer.
More than half of all the patients served chose to have a personal spiritual conversation.
During the Outreach:
Those numbers are remarkable, yet each one represents a person known and loved by God.
Each profession of faith represents a life redeemed. Each immersion represents someone publicly declaring new life in Yeshua. Each follow-up request represents a home, family, or community where a local pastor can continue sharing the Good News.
Our purpose is not simply to hold Medical Clinics.
Meeting physical needs is an important expression of God’s love. The greatest blessing we can offer is the Good News of salvation through Yeshua.
The Lemba people of Zimbabwe have a historic connection to the Jewish people. Reaching them is part of the calling God has given Jewish Voice to proclaim the Gospel “to the Jew first” and also to the nations according to Romans 1:16.
Scripture tells us that the acceptance of the Jewish people will be “life from the dead” (Romans 11:15).
At this Outreach, we saw a powerful picture of those words.
People who could not walk rose from stretchers. People who had been spiritually bound found freedom. Men, women, and children received new life in Yeshua.
And you were part of it.
The Outreach has ended, and the ministry continues.
Local pastors are preparing to visit the 159 people who requested follow-up. Those visits may reach entire families and communities with the Good News.
Please continue praying that every seed planted will grow, that new Believers will be strengthened, and that many more Jewish people and their neighbors will come to know Yeshua as Messiah.
Thank you for standing with us.
Your partnership is helping carry God’s love into places where people are waiting for hope, healing, and redemption.
