INTRODUCING THE MINISTRY OF THE INTERNATIONAL MESSIANIC JEWISH ALLIANCEThe beginnings of the IMJA date back to 1866 with the first Hebrew Christian Alliance and Prayer Union of Great Britain. By the turn of the century similar alliances were established among Jewish believers in different parts of the world. Then in 1925, under the sponsorship of the British and American Alliances, all national alliances formed a partnership and the International Hebrew Christian Alliance was born. This was the forerunner of what has now grown into the IMJA. Throughout the years and changing times the IMJA (formerly) the International Messianic Jewish Hebrew Christian Alliance) has remained faithful to God's ministry to the Jewish People. Today this ministry is alive, relevant, growing, and expanding. The IMJA membership encompasses both the Jewish believers in Yeshua hat practice a traditional form of Jewish worship and those who maintain their Jewish identity as members of traditional evangelical churches.
The International Messianic Jewish Alliance (lMJA) is the world wide fellowship of Jewish people who have accepted Yeshua (Jesus) as their Messiah. It carries out ministries through the work of its affiliated national alliances who unite their efforts to fulfill the aims of the international body. The international Alliance seeks to represent the common interests of Jewish believers through out the world. The purpose of the International Alliance is to care for the spiritual and material welfare of all Jewish believers and to maintain within the Jewish people a witness to Yeshua the Messiah. Membership in the IMJA is open to all Jewish believers in Yeshua who accept the Word of God as contained in the Old and New Covenants, and fellowship with other believers in a community of faith. Non Jewish believers who identify with the ministry of the IMJA are associate members and play an important and vital role in God's work through this ministry.
