Julia McKernan –
Be The Change You Want to See in This World.
A little about me:
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 15 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
March 2024-December 2025 was a time to work within the community, helping as needed. We helped a couple start a nonprofit which is now Rekindling Ministries in Yuma. Find them on Instagram to see how God is using them in a powerful way! We provided furniture, Bibles, folding chairs and financial help for the nonprofit paperwork.
We also teamed up with a Title I school in Phoenix to provide jackets for over 100 students.
A new outreach for the needy was started in Surprise and we provided all the materials needed to help the homeless and financial aid to start their ministry.
It was a good year!


Ministry doesn't need to be hard...
The goal is to always obey Christ while serving people.
It's time for a new adventure! 2026
My walk with God never stays the same. Things "shift and change" in time. It is a natural progression of life. Some people don't like change. I love when God brings me into a new season! The season I am currently in is to help nonprofit organizations. I have partnered with Rekindling Ministries in Yuma and am working on another connection currently. I remember what it was like to get things up and running. It takes a lot of moving parts to operate a nonprofit.
It gives me such joy to help lighten the load for others!
Saying YES to God has always been an adventure and brings me so much joy!
I am excited to see what this year will bring!
