Building Bridges That Carry Hope
We connect people, churches, communities, and nations through prayer, compassion, leadership development, and global mission.
A Warm Meal in a Difficult Moment
When meal boxes that had continued faithfully for three years were briefly unavailable because of a plumbing problem, there was no kitchen or restaurant available to prepare them. Chicken soup was shared for a short time. We are grateful that the problem was resolved, and for the hands and commitment that have faithfully prepared the meals.
Faithful Presence Across Communities
JBU Association is a U.S. 501(c)(3) faith-based nonprofit mission organization (EIN: 87-1697580) whose mission is to build bridges that connect people, churches, and communities so that the next generation may rise with hope, faith, and leadership.
JesusBridgeUs.org is the official website and primary domain of JBU Association. JBU stands for Jesus Bridge Us.
Although officially established in 2021, our ministry began informally in 2008 through urban outreach, prayer ministry, discipleship, and mission work in local communities and Mexico.
“Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days.”- Ecclesiastes 11:1
This verse is one of the foundational mottos of JBU’s ministry.
The gospel is about showing where the bread is. It is sharing with those who are spiritually hungry and in need the eternal bread of life that we ourselves have received and been filled by.
The gospel is no longer only about somewhere far away that we must “go.” It begins “here and now,” where God has placed us. We share this bread of life with the person God brings beside us, with the community to which we belong, and from one community to another.
This is why JBU builds bridges.
We connect person to person, people to communities, and communities to communities, so that the gospel may cross those bridges.
Leadership Begins With Listening
Listen
We listen to stories, pain, hopes, and the dreams of those God places in our path.
Connect
We connect what is broken, restore what is lost, and build long-term relationships.
Walk Together
We move slowly, but never alone, trusting Jesus to be our strength.
Share in God’s Mission
JBU does not replace local ministry.
JBU comes alongside churches, missionaries, and communities, sharing biblical resources, compassionate care, and practical support.
Together, we strengthen churches, equip leaders, serve communities, and connect nations through Jesus Christ.
Equipping Faithful Leaders
Through theological learning, mentoring, spiritual formation, and leadership initiatives, JBU equips emerging leaders.
