The JESUS, JESUS, JESUS outreach ministry has incorporated as an independent nonprofit organization, citing the growth of its annual Easter Week gathering as the reason for formalizing its structure.
The 2026 gathering in Manvel, Texas, drew more than 125,000 attendees. The event was free to attend. No tickets were sold, no parking fees were charged, and no offerings were collected. The ministry provided more than 50,000 meals and distributed over 30,000 shirts during the week.
Programming included 21 artists, 27 pastors, and 300 testimonies. A nightly "Gospel in the Sky" drone experience featured more than 65,000 drone flights. The event also facilitated over 100 baptisms and collected thousands of prayer requests.
The newly formed nonprofit is governed by a Board of Directors. Pastor Jason Lee serves as founder and board president. Other board members include founder Shelly Terry, worship experience lead Jacob Agnew, executive director Jack Siney, Colonel Davis, and Ed Saldivar.
The organization plans to continue the Gospel in the Sky experience and is developing year-round discipleship resources and ministry partnerships. It has confirmed a return to Manvel for Easter Week 2027 and is raising support to keep future gatherings free of charge.
The ministry announced the nonprofit formation through Christian Newswire in September 2026, describing the Easter Week event as the catalyst for building a more permanent organizational foundation.
