Julia McKernan –
Be The Change You Want to See in This World.

A little about me and what the nonprofit is about:

I'm an evangelist that operates in the prophetic. I desire to encourage, support, and "Equip" God's people to live out their purpose.

As a wife, mother, grandmother, and CEO, I wear many hats and love them all!

I have served within Peoria, AZ, for over 12 years. Volunteering for The Discovery Clubs, (Teaching children in public school about Jesus). I started a Jr. High and High School Club helping the youth to understand their faith and draw closer to Christ. This Club existed for several years to help build up the youth.

The next generation is so important! What a blessing to remain in contact with many of these now adults.

In 2019, my journey began with Alongside Ministries to preach the gospel in Perryville Prison (Goodyear, AZ). I was in the prison weekly for over a year. I developed a deep love for the women incarcerated. It was during my time inside the prison that I saw a great need. Most of these women had no help when released from prison.

In 2020, a friend of mine helped me start PROJECT SAFE START. This program ran through March 2024 and helped over 400 women transition into the community! To see more about the prison ministry: www.progectsafestart.org

2025 is now about helping those in the community. Currently we are partnered with a womans shelter for women coming out of abuse. These women can bring their children also. We colllect clothing in the community, shoes and household items to help provide for their physical needs.

We are also partnered with Valley Rescuer's, a nonprofit that helps the less fortunate. We donate clothing and household items which help many families in the Phoenix area.

We have also partnered with Identifreed. This is a nonprofit that helps women come out of sex trafficking. We collect purses and wallets for this nonprofit.

Julia McKernan Ministries Inc. is a 501(c)3 and is approved through the State of AZ as a QCO (Qualified Charitable Organization).

The goal is to always obey Christ while serving people.
