In Jesus Name-Who We Are

Who We Are

In Jesus' Name Ministries was founded in 1986 by Court and Sandy Wood as a 501(c)3 ministry dedicated to helping the poor in the Name of Jesus Christ. We began by distributing tractor-trailer loads of food in the United States. In 1997 over 15,400,000 pounds of food and supplies were distributed to Christ-centered churches and ministries in 36 states. In 1991 we began to receive cries for help from Christian congregations in India, the Philippines, and several African countries. As we prayed and sought the Lord concerning these urgent needs, it became obvious we had to respond. We began to send financial gifts to pastors designated for the poor and suffering in their congregations. We explained we were motivated by the exhortation of our Lord in Matthew 25:31-46 that when brethren of the Lord are suffering for lack of food, clothing, or for other reasons, then Jesus Himself is suffering in His people. The responses of gratitude we have received have been overwhelming.
