OUR HISTORY

Jousette Anaya Ministries, Inc. is a non-profit, 501c3 organization. The ministry first began offering services to the community in 1990 through the local church, “Iglesia Puerta Abierta” (Open Door Church). Shortly after, the name was changed to Emmanuel Christian Fellowship Church, Inc., in order to serve a multicultural population.

Since the inception, the ministry has fed and clothed the needy, created performing arts groups for at-risk youth, provided scholarships for higher education, foreclosure assistance, crisis counseling, remodeled homes for single mothers, and supported international missions in the Philippines and Mexico.

In 2003, Jousette Anaya Ministries, Inc. (JAM) was created as the umbrella organization in which to serve at a larger capacity without the limitations of the local church. Jousette Anaya’s sensitivity and zeal for the holistic needs of the community, impelled the creation of another program under the JAM umbrella-The Mentoring Clinic, Inc.

Jousette Anaya is a mentor and life coach with 19 years of progressive faith ministry experience. Ms. Anaya was the first Latina, female, ordained Bishop, in the city Philadelphia. In which she received the Distinguished HonorAward from the House of Representatives for her outstanding service in the community.
