Meet Sid Roth
CEO, Founder of Sid Roth’s It’s Supernatural! & Messianic Vision
Sid Roth’s vision began when he was supernaturally transformed at the age of 30.
Raised as an Orthodox Jew, Sid was taught that Jesus and Jews did not belong in the same sentence. And there was seemingly no need for Him. Sid had it all – a successful executive position at Merrill Lynch, a beautiful wife and daughter, and closely approaching his #1 goal: to be a millionaire by 30.
And yet, he had a tugging in his soul that whispered, “There must be something more.”
Searching for answers, Sid dove head-first into the New Age religion, but the search for “something more” became an ache he could not fill. He was enticed by the supernatural realm, but it left him feeling oppressed, lonely, and losing his mind. He had no answers, no help, no one to point him to the truth he was seeking. Yet, in the midst of it all, God used a Christian businessman to share with Sid something he had never heard before – that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah.
Since that encounter in 1972, Sid has dedicated his life to reaching the Jew first as it is found in Romans 1:16. This was the birth of Messianic Vision.
The two-fold strategy of Sid Roth’s Messianic Vision:
To equip viewers to operate in the Greater Glory to evangelize the Jew as a catalyst to evangelize the world
To empower believers to walk in the supernatural to fulfill their destiny
How Messianic Vision Began: First, a Radio Show
In 1977, Sid Roth founded Messianic Vision and began a radio show to reach the Jewish community with his newfound revelation that Jesus is the Messiah. For nearly 50 years, he has focused on what he calls the Mystery Law of Evangelism, which teaches that when you evangelize the Jew first (Romans 1:16), you unlock a domino effect to reach the world. Now, you can listen to our podcasts.
Then, a TV Show, Which Became the Ministry Flagship
In 1996, Sid launched a weekly TV show called “It’s Supernatural!” which reaches millions around the world. Each episode shares stories of supernatural healings, encounters with God, near-death experiences, angelic encounters, and much more. Countless people have stumbled upon Sid’s weekly show, received salvation, and learned how to live naturally supernatural. Watch all episodes of “It’s Supernatural!” here.
Next, Our Own Faith-Based TV Network
In 2012, Sid Roth started his very own TV Network, the It’s Supernatural Network (ISN). Today, ISN offers over 60 exclusive programs produced in-house and is available worldwide, 24/7 with shows that teach, evangelize, and equip viewers. You can enjoy these shows from the ISN App on your smart TV or phone, or online at watchISN.com.
Sid shares, “I know our ISN streaming network is part of God’s end-time plan. I see people in other countries getting radically saved and receiving miracles right in their own homes!”
Not One Network, But Two: METV
In 2016, Sid Roth acquired the Middle East Television Network (METV), to reach people with the Gospel in the Middle East. This network is available as part of the basic cable/satellite package to all subscribers in Israel, reaching a potential audience of half a billion people across the Middle East via satellite. Broadcasting 24/7 from Cyprus, METV has uninterrupted service and airs global events such as the Super Bowl, where we replace the halftime show with a Gospel message from Sid Roth. Watch METV live here.
We Provide Bomb Shelters in Israel
Sid Roth’s ministry has funded over 170 new bomb shelters in Israel, located in the most vulnerable areas identified by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Each shelter meets IDF standards and features the METV logo with a message of love for the people of Israel. The shelters not only protect lives but also serve as a platform to share the Gospel. This outreach has proven to be one of the most timely and rewarding ways we, as a ministry, give back. Learn more about our bomb shelters and how to donate.
“We have heard and seen the testimonies and stories of children outside of schools or by bus stops running to these shelters for safety and protection.” – Barry Segal, Vision for Israel
We Partner with Ministries in Ukraine
Sid Roth supports over 100 evangelists spreading the Gospel in Ukraine, even amidst outbreaks of war. They run schools to train others in evangelism, then serve the poor and needy with packages of food and a Gospel outreach. We are proud to partner with ministries who are the hands and feet of Yeshua – or as we call them – the boots on the ground! Get encouraging updates every week from Ukraine Harvest Ministry, a ministry partner of Sid Roth.
We Evangelize through Popular Secular News
In 2023, Sid Roth’s ministry created several one-minute evangelistic ads proving Jesus is the Jewish Messiah. These ads aired on major networks like Fox News, MSNBC, CNBC, Fox Business, and Newsmax. The ads aim to motivate viewers to download Sid’s free eBook, which “irrefutably” proves Jesus is the Jewish Messiah. The response has been remarkable, with millions viewing the ads and over 70,000 people visiting the webpage to download the eBook, including 34,000 from Israel.
On the first Sunday of each month at 9:00 pm ET, Sid Roth’s ministry airs a one-hour evangelistic special on Newsmax TV, the fastest-growing conservative TV news network in America. “It’s Supernatural!” is the only program on Newsmax that openly shares the Gospel and includes a bold altar call on every show.
We Reach MILLIONS on Social Media
In August of 2009, we launched on Facebook. In May of 2010, our YouTube channel began. And from there, we grew into other platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and X (Twitter). Since then, we have built a large community of believers and non-believers, young and old, from anywhere around the world, accruing over 2 Million subscribers on YouTube and 1.9 Million followers on Facebook.
In 2016, the ministry started a Spanish YouTube channel, which has grown to over 944,000 subscribers. And in 2023, the ministry launched Spanish social media pages and—in just one year— acquired a reach of 40,000 followers on Facebook, 35,000 on Instagram and 34,000 on TikTok.
Every number represents a person Messianic Vision has reached with the Gospel on social media!
