Johnny and Karen Jernigan have developed several evangelistic strategies to assist the local church and para-church ministries in mobilizing the people of God. After planting The City Church of Mobile with 11 people, 10 years later, it is now a thriving local church with a global mission. When ISIS began torturing and killing Christians, something went off in their hearts. They were moved by the Spirit of God to once again encourage the church to not fold up in the fear of radical religions. Instead, they
have felt that this is the hour for the church to rise up and tell the greatest story of all, the story of God’s love for humanity.
Through local church ministries, denominational mobilization, drama and theatrical plays, Johnny and Karen desire to partner with you. With proven evangelism strategies, they will assist you in achieving the vision for your
community.

About Johnny Jernigan Ministries

Johnny Jernigan Ministries exists to organize, train and mobile Christians and congregations for community influence and to advance the gospel of Jesus Christ both domestically and Internationally. They travel extensively teaching, preaching, training and mobilizing churches and believers for community influence. Johnny is the Director of Evangelism for the Assemblies of God in the State of Alabama and is an assistant to National Evangelism Director Tim Enloe in Springfield, Missouri. Their story is one of influence and evangelism fervor.

Johnny and Karen Jernigan started in ministry over 35 years ago. After being High School sweethearts in Mobile, Alabama, they were married in March of 1984. Immediately, they moved to Lakeland, Florida to attend Southeastern Assemblies of God University. Johnny received his Batchelor’s in Theology and in Ministry. Karen received her degree in Elementary Education and then received her masters Degree  form the University of Mobile. After graduation in 1986, they moved to Birmingham, Alabama to become the youth ministers of the Grayson Valley Assembly of God. The Youth Ministry grew from 10 to almost 100 in the next nine months with ministry in the area High Schools and Middle Schools and the evangelism passion that they brought to this church.

In 1987, they then moved back to Mobile, Alabama to become the youth ministers of their home church at the Knollwood Assembly of God. The youth ministry grew from 25 to over 250 students in the next 5 years. They were again involved in the area High School and Middles Schools with bible clubs and on campus ministries. Missions trips, area ministries and evangelism again marked their ministry during this season of ministry.

At the age of 28, Johnny felt the tug from heaven to become an Evangelist. In 1992, Johnny Jernigan Ministries was born. Johnny was quickly recognized as a strong communicator to students and over the next 15 years, Johnny spoke in over 120 youth camps, over 75 youth conferences and over 500 High Schools assemblies with his requested “Choice of Champions High School Assembly program.” Johnny was regarded as one of the most sought after youth speakers in all of the Assemblies of God across the United States.

In 2006, Johnny and Karen felt the tug of heaven to plant a church in their home town of Mobile, Alabama. They launched The City Church of Mobile in February of 2006. They started with 11 people in their first gathering and within 2 years, the church was averaging over 400 in attendance. They church grew to over 500 with ministries all across the community of Mobile and grew influence in many nations through the missions efforts of the church. The church became a multicultural, multi staff congregation with a real outreach to the communities all around the church. In 2016, they again felt the tug of heaven to launch out again into the ministry and function of the life and calling of the evangelist. The City Church of Mobile is still a thriving and influential congregation in the city of Mobile, Alabama.

In June of 2016, Johnny Jernigan Evangelistic Ministries and The Champions Foundation was again launched across Alabama and all across the United States and to the nations of the earth. What caused them to again go back to the life of the Evangelist? It started in 2015 when ISIS was on a terror campaign to kill Christians all across the Middle East. It became personal when one of the couples murdered in IRAN was from Mobile, Alabama. There is nothing new about Christians being murdered for their faith. We have simply never watched it live on the Internet before. Johnny went into prayer and thought, “no one has a sword to my neck. We have it so easy to live as a Christian and to propagate the Gospel here in the United States.” Johnny then had a dream where the Lord Jesus appears to him in a dream. The Lord showed him a Train that was sitting in mud. The Lord asked Johnny, “Can this train roll? Johnny replied, no. The Lord Jesus asked why? Johnny response was, “because it is sitting in mud. The Lord said, no, it is because it has no rails.” The Lord then snapped His fingers at Johnny and said, “Give my train rails.” Johnny then awoke and knew that the Lord was calling him back to the calling of the Evangelist to awaken a sleeping church to the urgency of sharing the Gospel with the nations before the return of the Lord Jesus in His 2ND coming. In June of 2016, Johnny and Karen did exactly that and launched again to the United States and to the Nations of the earth to organize, train and mobilize the local church for community influence. Johnny believes that the sharing of our faith in Jesus must become a priority for every believer.

Evangelist Johnny Jernigan has orchestrated some of the most effective community outreach & Church building events in the entire United States throughout his ministry. Join us for a weekend of equipping, instruction, and street ministry application with a strong emphasis on discipling those we minister to!
