Jesus Heals Ministries (JHM) is a religious foundation with a Christian profile. It was approved by the county governor in Vest-Agder on April 6, 1990. The main purpose is mission and evangelization on an interdenominational basis. Salvation and intercessory prayer for the sick are two of the main objectives.

JHM was started by Solveig and Svein-Magne Pedersen and Bjørn Grunnvåg. The foundation has a board, accountant, and auditor who ensure that the foundation follows the Foundation Act.

The foundation's publication is called Legedom. The first issue was released in December 1990. In 1991, Svein-Magne started the publishing house Forlaget Legedom. Here, he publishes his books. So far, he has written 21 books, most of them about healing through prayer. Solveig has written the book Forgiveness, the Way to Peace, Freedom, and Progress. Svein-Magne has created two Bible courses, one on Christianity and salvation (“The Passport to Heaven”) and one on healing (“The Nazareth School”). On December 2, 2008, the foundation moved into its own center in Vennesla, Norway, with a meeting room, prayer room, dining room, vestibule, 15 offices, storage, and a large, modern TV studio.

↑ LEGEDOM: The first issue of Legedom was published in 1990 and has since been the foundation's organ for communication with its followers. From 2025, the magazine will be available both on paper and as an online magazine. The online edition is published in parallel in both Norwegian and English.

At the mission center, we receive nearly 100,000 phone calls, letters, and emails each year. People seek intercessory prayer here and at meetings around Norway and abroad.

↑ THE PHONE: Almost every day throughout the year, Svein-Magne Pedersen has conversations with people seeking healing for body and mind, and salvation for their soul. The phone has always been the most important link between people who wish to have a conversation with Svein-Magne directly.

↑ ANOINTED MIRACLES: After JHM began sending anointing oil to people seeking healing, feedback about healings has been pouring in. A lot of time is spent praying over the oil bottles that are to be sent out, but there is also a lot of work involved in filling the bottles, packing the envelopes, and sending them to the correct recipients. Fortunately, all this work is possible because the vast majority of those who receive oil contribute with donations that support the work the mission does. PHOTO: Jesus Heals Ministries

Canadian foundation. On July 21, 1994, Solveig and Svein-Magne started the Jesus Heals Ministries Society in British Columbia, Canada. Svein-Magne was a pastor in two Canadian congregations from 1982 to 1988. The entire Pedersen family became Canadian citizens. Therefore, Solveig and Svein-Magne have Canada in their hearts. The goal of the Canadian foundation was to call missionaries from Norway to Canada to evangelize among Indians and whites there. From 1997 to 2017, JHM supported a Native Pentecostal congregation in British Columbia. JHM has had several missionaries in Canada over the years.

TV broadcasts. In 2005, JHM began producing its own TV programs, which are now broadcast over Norway, Canada, Africa, and all of Asia, and for some years, Europe. Many thousands have declared that they have been saved through these programs. We broadcast our programs on the world's largest satellites, covering approximately 120 countries.

Mission in the world's largest country – India. Svein-Magne has become acquainted with skilled Christian leaders from India and Africa. Together with Indian leaders, JHM (English: Jesus Heals Ministries, JHM) started a collaboration with them to spread the gospel in India, with its 1.5 billion people. It is the world's most populous country. India is also the world's largest mission field, where nearly 90 percent of the population is considered unreached. If the number of Christians in a people group is less than 2 percent, they are considered unreached. In practice, they have such little influence on the group that they are considered unreached.

Foundation with Bible school. On November 30, 2023, Jesus Heals Ministries (JHM), in collaboration with the Indian foundation Advent, started a foundation and a Bible school with 2000 students from one to three years. This is a decentralized Bible school with 75 teachers in 75 locations. The PATH INSTITUTE was what the foundation and Bible school were called. It is India's largest Bible school. As a foundation, we are obliged to help the weak and poor in various ways. Authorities check us several times a year to see if we comply with Indian laws for a foundation. Principal Dibya has done much social help work to meet the authorities' requirements. Representatives from the authorities have checked us several times and have given us acceptance for what is being done. The foundation with the Bible school was approved by the Indian school authorities on November 30, 2023. That something like this could happen was a miracle.

Opposition. The leading Hindu party has significant power and influence in the country and aims to make the country solely for Hindus. The party does everything it can to stop all Christian activities in the country. 80 percent of the population in India adheres to Hinduism, 3–5 percent are Christians, 14 percent are Muslims, 2 percent are Sikhs, and 1 percent belong to Buddhism.

Principal Dibya, during many years as a pastor, has educated many preachers. Together with him, they have started about 2460 congregations in five states in India. That amounts to about 300,000 members. All these congregations are under JHM's umbrella, along with the Advent foundation.

Wells for the untouchables. In 2015, JHM began building wells among the poorest, India's untouchables. From 2018, evangelist Timothi in the state of Andhra Pradesh was employed to oversee the construction of wells among the untouchables. JHM also wanted him to evangelize with our salvation tract in the Telugu language and has purchased a Tuk-Tuk for this purpose. Women usually walk many kilometers to find water, and the water they find is polluted by animals and humans. So far, JHM has built 25 wells where over 100,000 have gained access to clean water, thus avoiding disease and death. The need is great, and many request JHM's help for a well in their village. Many new wells are due to be built. The foundation's supporters have given and continue to support this important project. Such an act of love makes it easier for people to receive Jesus. On each well is engraved: “Jesus Heals Ministries.” Then the residents know it was not Hindus or Muslims, but Christians, who provided them with clean water.

School for illiterates. In India, there are around 280 million illiterates. In November 2024, the leaders in India started a school for illiterates. The first batch comprised about 1500 students, spread over 50 different villages and with 50 teachers. The school lasts 12 months. Here, the students learn to read, write, and do arithmetic. And they get to hear the gospel! Dibya reports that nearly half of the students usually get saved during their studies. The last batch (from November 2025) comprises a total of 5244 students! Now, the school has 100 teachers teaching students in 100 different locations in two states in India. Both the Bible school PATH INSTITUTE and the literacy school are under JHM and Advent's umbrella. A total of 7244 students! After one year of school, a new school year starts with new students in both schools - and with at least as many students!

Evangelist school: The evangelist school was started in 2024. It began with 76 evangelists attending a 15-month evangelism course. Here, theory and practice go hand in hand. The school aims to build many new congregations each year. The students evangelize and lead many people to God. The last batch of evangelists helped start 94 new house churches, each with its own leaders. Over 400 sought salvation.

In October 2025, we started a new evangelism course for 15 months, this time with 245 students, spread over seven locations. A significant increase in one year, from 75 to 245 students!

JHM carries out evangelism in Africa, with a center in the country of Benin. The African journalist and evangelist Laurent leads the work. The TV program "Miracle is Yours" is dubbed into French and broadcast over the world's largest satellite to all of Africa (1.4 billion people, 54 countries). Laurent also evangelizes with my tract "5 Minutes to Heaven" and my Bible course, "The Passport to Heaven," parts 1 and 2. He has translated the tract and Bible course into French and has many students taking the course.

JHM has TV broadcasts over Asia. From Lahore in Pakistan, the TV program The Miracle is Yours is broadcast over the world's largest satellite to all of Asia every day of the week. Every year, the TV company reports about 13,000 who declare they have been saved by watching the programs broadcast over Asia's approximately 70 countries. The TV company believes our program has a clear message of salvation. A significant number of the 13,000 acknowledgments of salvation can be attributed to our TV program. Altogether, our satellites cover about 120 countries where a total of six billion people live.

YouTube: Dozens of JHM's TV programs can be watched around the clock on YouTube. Many take this opportunity to catch JHM's message of health and salvation.

Since 2017/2018, JHM has had four permanent missionaries in Canada. They operate from three centers and reach out to many people in the world's second-largest country. They belong to congregations in Canada and evangelize from there to many people. One of the workers translates some of Svein-Magne's books from Norwegian to English. Every Sunday, the TV program "The Miracle is Yours" airs over Canada, with English subtitles. Thousands watch the program, and many contact JHM's staff there.

There are times when we, for financial reasons, must pause the programs, resuming them when finances improve.

The four missionaries have attended prophet schools in Canada, becoming skilled at reaching out to people with the gospel in a powerful way.
