The Young Messianic Jewish Alliance (YMJA) is a vibrant Messianic organization focused on young people across the nation. Operating under the auspices of the Messianic Jewish Alliance of America (MJAA), the YMJA is a nationally-recognized organization with deep roots in the early days of this end-time Jewish revival. The YMJA was formed in 1967 and focused primarily on college-age groups, bringing Jewish believers together for teaching and fellowship in accord with a Messianic vision.
Many of these participants are current leaders in Messianic congregations and ministries. In the mid-1970’s, the YMJA was the single greatest force the L-rd used to bring about modern Messianic Judaism. From its inception, the YMJA has played a vital role in the spiritual, social, and cultural identity of our movement. Today, the YMJA maintains the vision and has expanded to serve young people ages 13-30 across the nation. Through our Teen, College & Career-Age, and Singles ministries, the YMJA is being used as an instrument by the L-rd to unite Messianic believers around the world! |

Q: Is it true what some people say? Am I not a Jew if I believe in this Yeshua? A: Of course you're still a Jew if you believe in Yeshua! In fact, you're more Jewish than ever. Believing in Messiah gives you a personal relationship with Adonai, and this is what He has always wanted with His people. |
