The registered office of the society is in Whitehorse, Yukon.  There are also  supporting offices of JEM in Salmon Arm, BC, Canada; Somerton, Arizona, USA; and San Luis, Sonora, Mexico.

Jerusalem Evangelical Ministries serves as an umbrella ministry organization comprised of confessing Christians residing in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. JEM is supported by individuals, small groups and benevolent organizations who partner with this ministry in prayer, financial support, and in  donations of essential needs.

Currently, JEM conducts evangelical outreach ministry in several destitute villages and communities located in Sonora, Mexico, and Baja California, Sur., Mexico. 

                                                                                                    
Statement of Faith

  - We believe in one God (Isaiah 44:6), and the unity of three persons in the one God; God the Father (2 Pet. 1:17), God the Son (John 20:24-28), and God the Holy Spirit (Acts 5:1-4).

 -  We believe that the Bible in its entirety is the inspired Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

-  We believe that God's plan of salvation is a New Life in Jesus Christ (John 3: 3-7) through His Blood shed at the Cross for us (Romans 5: 6-8)(John 14:6) (Galatians 2:20).

   -  We believe that through the Grace and Faith that comes from God (Ephesians 2:8), and the working of His Holy Spirit (I Thessalonians 1:), people are called to repent (Matthew 4:17) of their sins and receive Jesus Christ in their hearts as Lord and Saviour (Romans 10: 9-11).

 -  We believe that all those who live in the Life of Jesus Christ are the Children of God, and will not perish but have Eternal Life (John 3:16) (1 John 3:1-3).

 -  We believe in Water Baptism (Matthew 28:19-20), and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit which empowers believers for service in the Lord (Acts 1:1-8).

 -  We believe in God's anointed leadership for the church, and the assembling of the believers in the unity of His Spirit (Ephesians 4:) (Hebrews 10:19-25).

   -  We believe that through the teaching of God's Holy Word and by the working of His Grace, believers will grow in the Likeness of Christ and minister according to God's calling in Word and Deed (2 Corinthians 3:18) (Ephesians 4:7-13). 

-  We believe that there is no approval in the Word of God for sin amongst believers, instead, believers are commanded to get rid of the sinful habits of their old way of life, and by faith, walk as Jesus walked (1 John 2:6) (Philippians 4:13).

-  We believe that there will be a resurrection and judgment of believers (1 Thessalonians 13-18) (2 Corinthians 5:10) (Philippians 3:20-21), and unbelievers (Revelations 20:11-15).

​
Lanny Anderson, founder of JEM, went home to be with the Lord December 13, 2022. This ministry began with God placing the passion for it on servant hearts in Arizona, Mexico, Yukon, BC, Spokane, and other places and other times. But He placed momentum and initiative in Brother Lanny's heart to set the ministry in motion.

The ministry needed formal elements as well, and Lanny brought together friends who were willing to become a part of it to form a Board of Directors who took on roles and titles to help formulate a name, mission statement, etc., and register with the Government of Yukon. Lanny served on the Board of Directors in several capacities, but his real passion was to be "on the ground" with the people of Mexico and participate in their growth in the Lord.
