OUR HISTORY

Jo Ann Hollway is the founder and director of Ramiah Ministries, Inc. She began the ministry in 1971 by teaching children and collecting clothing for those in need. She added the clown ministry in 1980, began leading ladies’ Bible studies in 1983, and started the writing ministry in 1988. Adult Foster Care started in 1983 and the prison ministry in 1990. The ministry received the Hebrew name "Ramiah" in 1991 and its tax-exempt status in 1997. A large staff of volunteers helps with the ministry, and a prayer letter is distributed several times a year.
