A friend like you

Friend and supporter Tommie was introduced to Chosen People Ministries in 1973 when her mother-in-law shared one of the ministry’s magazines with her.  After reading it, Tommie’s heart was stirred to the importance of our mission and the troubles that the Jewish people have suffered. She wanted them to know Jesus as Messiah and Savior!

In 2006, Tommie received an email about giving from her required IRA distribution. Her financial institution also informed her of this tax benefit.  Now, she is thrilled that, through her gifts from her IRA distribution, she is able to give more to Chosen People Ministries and save on taxes, too. Tommie says, “I give according to how the Lord leads me … and consider the IRA, Jesus’s IRA.” 

You, too, can make a wonderful difference through your wise stewardship!

If you are age 70½ or older, you can transfer up to $100,000 from your traditional individual retirement account (IRA) to a qualified charity without adding a penny to your taxable income.

This is possible when you make the donation as a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) — with a direct transfer of the amount you choose from your IRA to Chosen People Ministries. A gift like this may also lower your adjusted gross income, and:

  • Lower your tax bracket
  • Lower your Medicare premium
  • Lower your federal taxes
  • Reduce your state taxes

Most importantly, you will make a tremendous impact … helping to share the message of Jesus the Messiah with Jewish people everywhere — and we are grateful! Thank you!

For more information, contact Cindy Forbes at 212-223-2252 or [email protected]

2019 Ministry Highlights

  • 2019 was our 125th anniversary, celebrating a century and a quarter of sharing the good news about the Jewish Messiah, Jesus! We also celebrated Israel’s glorious future with Israel’s Glorious Future conferences in: Charlotte, North Carolina; Boca Raton, Florida; Irvine, California; Sandy Cove, Maryland; and Delavan, Wisconsin.
  • Shalom New York! This year’s outreach to New York City was our biggest yet, with 127 volunteers from all over the world presenting two weeks of street ministry, special evangelistic events, telephone follow-up, training in Jewish missions, worship, devotion, and, most importantly, prayer. We distributed nearly 100,000 pieces of gospel literature and had evangelistic conversations with well over 10,000 people.
  • We also initiated a digital media campaign, offering our evangelistic book, Isaiah 53 Explained, and the opportunity to sign a petition against antisemitism. We intensified our Facebook and YouTube ads, as well as promoted the more than eighty testimonies of Messianic Jews on our website, ifoundshalom.com. In addition to street outreach, our volunteers followed up with personal phone calls to those who responded to these online evangelistic materials.
  • Our leadership conference in Poland, with a focus on Russian-speaking Jewish ministry, was also an amazing success. And training Russian-speaking Messianic leaders also blesses our ministry to Holocaust survivors in Israel and elsewhere. Our dedicated staff of twenty-five workers in Israel, most of whom are Israelis, are reaching students, soldiers, families, and young adults. They also conduct children’s camps and minister to elderly Holocaust survivors.

Thank you for being part of all this and much more in 2019! Your love for Jewish people is making an impact!
