Stichting Jesus.net Foundation

What Stichting Jesus.net Foundation does

Stichting Jesus.net Foundation is a Dutch non-profit foundation (Stichting) registered in Rotterdam that operates Jesus.net, a global digital ministry platform providing free Christian faith content, courses, prayer support, and AI-powered spiritual guidance tools in more than 40 languages. The platform serves seekers exploring Christianity, Christians seeking spiritual growth, people with life questions, and church and youth leaders. Core products include the Jesus.net website, the MyJourney online course platform, the A Miracle Every Day daily devotional (available via email and iOS/Android mobile app), the BibleViewer interactive tool, the Prayer Request Service backed by over 16,000 volunteer prayer team members, and an e-coach service for one-on-one guidance. The technology stack comprises a content management and multi-language delivery infrastructure augmented by generative-AI features (Ask.Jesus.net for scriptural Q&A and HowToPray for personalized prayer generation), with AI also used for content drafting, image generation, and NLP analysis of user communications.

The organization is a global network of local ministry partners rather than a centralized employer, with a distributed workforce operating across the Netherlands, USA, Thailand, India, Philippines, Ukraine, Paraguay, and Madagascar, and a stated employee range of 11-50. Jesus.net sustains operations through voluntary donations and church/ministry partnership contributions; all content and services are provided to end users free of charge. The platform's distribution and content strategy is anchored by a core strategic partnership with The Chosen TV series (280M+ viewers across 50+ languages), supplemented by integrations with YouVersion Bible App, BibleProject, the JESUS Film Project, and OneHope, plus co-developed curricula such as Days with Jesus and The Chosen Connect for youth discipleship. Compliance posture includes GDPR/AVG adherence under Dutch law.

Recent strategic activity is concentrated in product expansion: The Chosen Season 5 launched in 2025, A Miracle Every Day Live weekly Q&A launched in 2025, AI-driven Ask.Jesus.net and HowToPray were introduced, and the Acts Movie is announced for 2026 release. The foundation explicitly states it is not a venture-backed, listed, or parent-owned entity and is not pursuing monetization of the user base; its operating model is non-profit contribution-funded.
