Founded in 1915, the Messianic Jewish Alliance of America (MJAA) is the largest single organization representing Messianic Jews in the US. Messianic Jews are lineally Jewish people that believe that Yeshua (Jesus) fulfilled prophecies in the Scriptures (Matthew 5:17). The MJAA sponsors national and regional conferences, the largest Messianic congregational organization in the world, as well as national programs for college age, teen groups and young professionals. The MJAA has built significant humanitarian aid ministry in both Israel (The Joseph Project International) and Ethiopia that blesses hundreds of thousands of poor and needy Israeli and Ethiopian Jews.
