Funds given to the MJIF are used to meet such basic needs as Hebrew Bibles and other literature for spiritual growth; temporary living expenses, emergency aid and ministry necessities for sharing faith in Messiah. The MJIF also provides small gifts to aid Jewish believers who have made Aliyah (a permanent move) to Israel.

The MJIF is a ministry of love to God?s chosen people, therefore, all board members are volunteers and no salaries are paid to anyone working in this ministry.
