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.
The Jubilee Fund provides targeted financial assistance for:
Unexpected medical costs, from surgeries to specialist visits, can overwhelm families living on ministry income. The Jubilee Fund helps carry that burden.
Reliable transportation is essential for ministry and family life. We help Christian workers replace or repair vehicles that have failed at the worst time.
When housing issues threaten safety or stability—roof damage, flooding, failed HVAC—we step in to prevent crisis and restore peace of mind.
Some needs don’t fit a category—but still deserve compassion. We support unique, urgent expenses that threaten a family’s stability or calling.
Every Jubilee Fund story is verified, specific, and personal. These needs are funded through crowdfunding—much like GoFundMe—and donor-directed gifts from people who want to be part of a tangible miracle.

“We didn’t know how we’d cover the cost of the repairs and still get to church. The Jubilee Fund stepped in when no one else could.”
