'''Jesus Christ Saves Ministries''' (JCSM) is a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization that began in San Diego, California in 1997. It was created by Jason Gastrich and was a simple ministry to hurting people in AOL chat rooms. Before too long, some web pages were created and hosted on AOL's server. JCSM began a subscription mailing list and kept in touch with those that sought Gastrich's help. He began writing and emailing them a devotional message (today, there are well over 400 of them online). Later, JCSM began recording and broadcasting a weekly audio devotional message, too. |
