Jesus Given Ministries Foundation
Jesus Given Ministries (JGM) was founded by Father Anil Kumar Marneni in the state of Telangana in the south of India.
In addition to ministering to their spiritual needs, he also works with the poor village people to improve their lives.
The people in these villages are among the poorest of the poor living on $2.00 a day. Their food consists mainly of rice and vegetables.
They lack drinkable water even though a well has been dug. This water is undrinkable unless it is run through a filtering system. During a drought, which happens often, the well dries up. Then water must be purchased from a large tanker truck – another expense for the people.

After making the acquaintance of an interested person concerning the work he was doing, Father Marneni suggested that a sister foundation be established in the United States. Therefore, in 2017, JESUS GIVEN MINISTRIES FOUNDATION was established as a 501(c)(3) with headquarters in Clinton, Oklahoma. The sole purpose of JGMF is to support Fr. Marnenni’s work in India.
Since the founding, JGMF has assisted Father Marneni in providing the people with, among other things, clothing for both the children and the elderly, food, educational opportunities for the children, and simple medical help for all the villagers.
