Jerry Savelle Ministries

What Jerry Savelle Ministries does

Jerry Savelle Ministries International is a private, nonprofit Christian ministry founded in 1969 by Dr. Jerry Savelle in Crowley, Texas, following his conversion on February 11, 1969 and relocation to Fort Worth. Over a 55-year ministry career, the founder preached in more than 3,500 churches across 40+ nations before his death on April 15, 2024; the ministry continues under family leadership. The organization serves individual Christian believers and ministry partners/donors through a portfolio that includes a weekly television broadcast, two podcast series (Adventures in Faith and Back to the Basics), daily devotionals, monthly partner letters, the Adventures in Faith Magazine, the Jerry Savelle Bible School (JSBS), and affiliated ministries (Chariots Of Light Christian Bikers, Heart For Africa, Heritage Of Faith Church).

The underlying technology platform is a conventional digital media distribution stack: a WordPress-based website, RSS/podcast feeds, YouTube video embeds, iOS and Android mobile applications published under Savelle Publishing, and an e-commerce storefront at store.jerrysavelle.org. No proprietary AI, APIs, or technical integrations beyond standard media and e-commerce tooling are evident. Wholly-owned regional entities operate in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and South Africa.

The business model is donation-and-content driven. Revenue streams comprise recurring donations and partnership contributions, one-time product sales of books/audio/video teaching packages, and Bible school enrollment fees. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through multi-channel media outreach (TV, podcasts, mobile, email, mailing list) targeting a horizontal believer audience, with no enterprise customers, no funding rounds, and no institutional ownership identified.
