a place to bring what you have

Love isn't a feeling.
It's what you do next.

Jen Lilley Ministries exists to show up — for the forgotten, the overlooked, and the ones the world keeps walking past.

why we exist

You Can
change the World.

Maybe you've wanted to help but didn't know where to start. Maybe you've looked at the needs of the world and felt like what you have to offer is too small to matter.But here's what I keep coming back to: Jesus watched a widow drop two small coins into the temple treasury — the kind of gift the religious crowd probably didn't even notice, or worse, judged as insignificant. He said she gave more than anyone. Not because of the amount. Because of her heart.At Jen Lilley Ministries, I am not here to ask you to empty your bank account. A dollar given with a generous heart, trusted to hands that will steward it faithfully, matters to God — and it matters to me. He's not waiting on our resources. He's waiting on our obedience.So if you have $1 and a willing heart, you belong here.

Our Programs.

Every program at Jen Lilley Ministries answers the same question: what does love actually look like here? Right now, you can give to two places:Wake Up Your Campus — directly funds the four-week campus outreach program, introducing students to Jesus and getting them connected to community.General Fund — goes wherever the need is highest. Caring for single moms, abused children, and those without food, clothing, or shelter. For the ones who have lost all hope and need a reminder that they are seen and not forgotten.

hi, I'm Jen

Love in Action.

I've had a heart for people on the margins since I was a kid. Abused children. Trafficking survivors. Prisoners. Single moms. Orphans. People experiencing homelessness. College students who feel completely alone in what they believe.For years I channeled that through other people's organizations — and I still do, because I don't believe in reinventing a wheel that's already rolling. But I kept having ideas that needed a home of their own.So in January 2026, Jen Lilley Ministries became official. One nonprofit. Many programs. One conviction underneath all of it: love that doesn't act isn't love.I'm also an actress, author, podcaster, and speaker. You can find that side of me at JenLilley.com.I'm so glad you're here.— Jen
