Our Mission
JesusOnline Ministries uses internet technologies to help people in 190+ countries discover who Jesus really is, receive Him as Lord and Savior, follow Him through personal online discipleship, and share Him with others.
For the first time in history, it is possible to share the gospel with people in almost every country of the world on their smart phones, even in the privacy of their homes.
Our Vision
To reach 1 billion people by 2030
During 2023, our goal is to see 2,000,000 people indicate their decision to follow Jesus. That is like filling 20 of our nation’s largest football stadiums.
Our Strategy
Every day, millions of people who are curious about Jesus are on the Internet from all over the world.
JOM uses a proven 4-step outreach strategy to reach them
with the truth about Jesus…
- We advertise questions people are asking about Jesus.
- They click the ads that link to compelling articles and videos.
- They discover answers revealing the truth about Jesus.
- We follow up with those who respond.

Our History
JesusOnline Ministries was started in 2003 by Larry Chapman, a Christian businessman who had a passion to communicate the truth about who Jesus really is.
2001 | Larry summarizes evidence of God’s existence and Jesus’ deity for a Young Life leader |
2003 | Bill Bright and Larry agree to co-publish this evidence as single-issue magazines for use by Campus Crusade for Christ, Int’l. |
2006 | The Y-Jesus articles are posted online during the release of the “Da Vinci Code” movie launching the internet ministry. |
2020 | As the result of extraordinary outreach at Easter and during the COVID-19 pandemic, JOM may reach twice as many people as during 2019. |
2022 | During the past several years, the JesusOnline outreach has sky-rocketed, growing from 11.5 million website visits in 2019 to 61 million visits in 2022. |
The Opportunity
God has accelerated the JesusOnline outreach beyond anything we had hoped or imagined. Currently, every one dollar spent in advertising is reaching 30 people with the truth about Jesus and, by God’s grace, one will decide to become a follower of Christ.

Our foundation has supported JesusOnline for many years. It is amazing how they are reaching people in every country of the world. They are seeing many people come to Christ and following up with their online discipleship app. We know our grants are making a strategic impact for Christ’s Kingdom with a great spiritual return on our investment.
David Miller
Retired Business Executive
We are called as Christians to do our part to reach out and disciple others. But everyday life is so busy that it can be difficult. JOM has a turnkey way for me to do just that, at a cost that is a fraction of anything I’ve ever seen. For every $1 I have been pledging, someone, somewhere in the world is pledging their life to Christ. How can you not participate in that?
Mary McDonald
Counselors Foundation
I am so impressed with what God is doing through JesusOnline. Through well-placed ads, millions of first-time visitors, from places like Africa, India, Russia, the Philippines and the U.S., come to the website each year to read articles, download Bible studies, or watch videos. It’s incredible and I’m so happy to be a small part of what God is doing.
