OUR MISSION Discover Our Core Values trending_flat
Building Bridges Through Faith and Practical Love.
JBU Association connects people, churches, ministries, and communities through faith expressed in practical love. Across borders and communities, we serve alongside local churches and ministries through biblical formation, prayer, compassionate service, leadership development, and mission partnership.
We seek to be the hands and feet of Christ, not replacing the work God has already established, but strengthening, connecting, and serving alongside it. Every JBU ministry—practical service, scholarships, Bible formation, and partnerships with medical organizations—exists to share the hope of the gospel with people and communities.
JBU Association is a U.S. 501(c)(3) volunteer-supported nonprofit mission organization (EIN: 87-1697580). Most of our outreach is offered freely; donations help cover necessary ministry costs. Learn more on our About page.

Esperanza — Becoming a Hope for the Church
Members of Esperanza Church began practicing Scripture meditation on their own, meeting weekly or every other week to share the grace they receive from the Word. In their commitment to stand before the Word for the next three years, we see the hope of a church being established in faith and growing in self-reliance.
