2026 has been a remarkable year of connection for CMJ USA. Traveling across the country to meet so many of you in person—at churches, conferences, and gatherings—is always a highlight of our ministry. From our early trips through South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida to our upcoming visits in California, Texas, and Virginia (plus the meaningful Seders and teachings close to home in Pennsylvania), we are deeply grateful for every open door.


As we look ahead, we are preparing for a major milestone: launching Emunah in 2027 and introducing it to congregations nationwide.


To reach as many communities as possible, we need to build a strong digital and physical foundation today. Here is where your Day of Giving support directly makes an impact:


  • Expanding Emunah: While Emunah will initially launch as a digital download, our goal is to expand into print editions and high-quality video instruction to maximize its reach.
  • Travel & Outreach: Bringing the Jewish roots of our faith directly to local congregations requires flights, rental cars, and boots on the ground.
  • Upgrading Our Digital Presence: We are optimizing our website to make key resources easily accessible and expanding CMJ’s voice on social media to actively counter anti-Jewish rhetoric with truth and clarity.


How You Can Partner with Us Today

  1. Invite Us to Your Church: We would love to minister to your local congregation in person.
  2. Pray for the Ministry: Stand with us in prayer for wisdom, safe travels, and open doors.
  3. Invest in the Mission: Consider becoming a monthly donor or giving a strategic one-time gift this Day of Giving.


As Director Emeritus Philip Bottomley often reminds us, "The Lord pays for what He orders." We also know He delights in using His saints as conduits of His abundant provision.


To our faithful regular donors: thank you. You are integral to everything we do. Will you help us take this next step forward today?

Why October 14?

We chose October 14 for the CMJ USA Day of Giving because it is the day the Church commemorates Bishop Joseph Schereschewsky—a remarkable figure whose life was transformed through CMJ's early ministry.


Born into a Jewish family in Lithuania in 1831, Joseph left his home at age 15 for Zhitomir (in modern-day Ukraine). While studying at the Zhitomir Rabbinical School, a fellow student handed him a Hebrew New Testament published by the London Jews Society—known today as CMJ UK.


That copy of the Scriptures planted a seed. Joseph spent years pondering the story of Jesus. Later, while in Germany, he met a CMJ worker who helped him work through his deepest questions. 


Joseph eventually traveled to the United States, where he made a public profession of faith in Yeshua as the Messiah. He went on to become a pioneering Bible translator and the Anglican Bishop of Shanghai, leaving an enduring legacy in China. (Read more of the story.)

Searching for the Next Bold Witness

We know God is still calling Jewish men and women today to be bold witnesses for Yeshua. But as the Apostle Paul reminds us:

"How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, 'How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!'"
Romans 10:14–15
