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:Christmas Is Not Cancelled — gives Christmas to kids who would otherwise wake up to nothing. Every toy and book you give goes to a child in need through Toys for Tots, so parents can put presents under the tree and kids can experience the joy of Christmas.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

Jen Lilley & Jason Wayne

Co-Founders · President & Vice President

Jen Lilley is an actress, author, advocate, and mom who founded Jen Lilley Ministries out of a lifelong conviction that love has to show up in person. She has never been able to walk past a need she could see — and she has spent her life running toward brokenness rather than away from it. Jason Wayne is the steady foundation behind everything JLM does — a foster and adoptive father with a degree in finance, a tender heart for the Lord, and the kind of leadership that doesn't need the spotlight to be essential. Together, they lead with integrity, compassion, and an unshakeable belief that the overlooked and forgotten deserve to be seen.

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