International Mission to Jewish People (IMJP) formerly Christian Witness to Israel (CWI) is a Protestant Christian organization dedicated to the evangelisation of Jewish people. It was founded in 1976 as a merger between the International Society for Evangelisation of the Jews and the Barbican Mission to the Jews.[1]

The International Society for the Evangelisation of the Jews (IJS) was founded in 1842 as the British Society for the Propagation of the Gospel Among the Jews. It published a periodical called The Jewish Herald.[2]

The Barbican Mission to the Jews (BMJ) was founded in 1879. It operated in the East End of London, and was run by Jewish Christians.[2] BMJ was also involved in the Kindertransport, including the KLM flight of January 1939, and supported the rescue of about a hundred Jewish children to England prior to World War II.[3][4]

Both pre- and post-millennial theology inspired the early Christian Zionists who established and ran the two progenitor societies.[5]

IMJP has workers in Israel, the United Kingdom, France, Holland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and the United States. It considers that the Bible "gives a special place to Jewish evangelism".[6]
