At Bible College, Jim met his wife Becky, a member of the Hillsboro Church of Christ. They have been married since 1982 and have two adult sons, Daniel (who is married to Samantha) and Andrew. They have three grandsons--Cody, Lucas, and Emry. Jim has served as the Minister of Missions with HCC since 2003, when he and his family relocated to Toowoomba Queensland Australia. The entire family lives there. Jim and Becky became Australian citizens in 2006 to better identify with the Australian people and to show their commitment to the ministry.

In Australia, he has worked to plant the Eastern Downs Church of Christ and has established the Southern Cross Bible Institute. Learn more about that ministry here. Prior to working in Australia, Jim planted the Jean Anglais Christian Church in Grenada, West Indies, where he and his family labored for eleven years. He also held youth and preaching ministries in Ohio and Kentucky.

From childhood, Jim was keenly interested in oversees missions and came to realize there are few people who are able or willing to work full-time in evangelism outside the USA. Jim believes God has prepared and enabled him to work with people across cultures. This passion for overseas ministries has led Jim to teach and preach in Australia, Grenada, Haiti, Mexico, and the Philippines.
