The Jubilee Fund provides immediate relief for Christian missionaries and ministry families when life hits hard. From medical emergencies to housing transitions and unexpected crises, these grants offer timely support with dignity—ensuring no one has to walk through hardship alone or choose between serving others and meeting urgent needs.
Most missionaries and pastors don’t have emergency savings or financial safety nets. A car breakdown, a medical bill, or a home repair can derail their ability to serve. The Jubilee Fund exists to meet those moments with compassion, speed, and structure—so that faithfulness isn’t interrupted by financial instability.
Donors may give to the general Jubilee Fund or directly toward verified cases listed on our giving platform. All gifts are tax-deductible and fully vetted by Rivergate staff to ensure stewardship and transparency.
Unlike GoFundMe or other platforms, Jubilee offers:
