About Our Work in Canada

We plant Messianic congregations where Jewish seekers and believers can worship God in a culturally Jewish way. Our workers also lead home Bible study groups, minister to children and youth, as well as serve the needs of the elderly including Holocaust survivors. We regularly hold conferences and training events and lead tours to Israel.  A significant part of our ministry is through printed materials, audio and video resources and social media. Make sure you visit our online shop; we’ll be updating available resources often.

Our missionaries speak in churches across Canada on topics such as Jewish evangelism, the Feasts of the Lord, the Jewish roots of our faith and Israel. If you would like someone from our staff to speak at your church or congregation, please contact us to explore the possibilities or book a meeting.

We appreciate your prayers and support as we continue sharing the Good News of Messiah Jesus with our Jewish friends. Come visit us at our Toronto Messianic Centre (near Yorkdale Mall). We’d love to meet you in person!

Faithfully in Jesus the Messiah,

Jorge Sedaca

History of Jewish Work in Canada

Canada has long been home to a significant population of Jewish people, particularly in the cities of Toronto, Montreal, and Winnipeg. For this reason, Chosen People Ministries has had a presence in Canada since the late 1930s. At that time, Chosen People Ministries’ field representatives and missionaries began speaking in churches and at conferences throughout Canada in cities such as Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto, Hamilton, and Montreal. The Mission formed a Canadian Board in the early 1940s and established the Canadian headquarters for the Mission in Toronto, Ontario.

Today, Jorge Sedaca supervises the work in Canada. The Mission has Messianic Centers and congregations in Toronto, led by Jorge Sedaca, and Winnipeg, led by Charles Hopkin. In addition, another Messianic congregation was recently planted in Hamilton, led by Marcello Araujo. Chosen People Ministries in Canada offers Messianic services, campus outreach, Bible studies, home visitation, and special events designed to help Jewish seekers and others encounter the life-giving message of the gospel.

Chosen People Ministries regularly hosts conferences and retreats, including Haverim-Friends Messianic Bible Conference and the Toronto-Israel Conference, with special speakers and workshops designed to bring seekers to faith and deepen the discipleship of already-committed believers.
