IMJP has been at the cutting edge of cross-cultural mission since 1842 and was formed by people with a vision and passion for the salvation of the Jewish people. Originally the British Society for the Propagation of the Gospel among the Jews (BJS), the Society was founded at an inaugural meeting in Regent Square, supported by British evangelical leaders such as Robert Murray M’Cheyne and the great Baptist preacher Charles Haddon Spurgeon.
Nearly 200 years after it came into existence, International Mission to Jewish People is still at the cutting edge of cross-cultural, multi-cultural, international and interdenominational mission to the Jewish people, sharing the Good News that the Messiah promised through the ancient Jewish prophets has come, and his name is Jesus.
