This year we are excited to welcome Jim Smith who will explore the topic of Harvest Perseverance.

 

Jim and Sharon are long-term missionaries and global partners with LifeBridge. Jim was born in Ciudad Mante, the son of life-long missionaries to Mexico, James L. and Joey Smith. He was saved and baptized in Chihuahua as a boy. After graduating from Pacific Coast Baptist Bible College, Jim went to work at East Side Baptist Church in Denver, Colorado, where he met and married Sharon Boonstra. After four years on staff, Jim and Sharon were approved as Baptist Bible Fellowship International missionaries to Ecuador. After a year of deputation, they, along with their two young children, Zachary and Stacey, served in Quito, Ecuador. The Lord enabled them to establish a local church and Bible Institute that is still multiplying evangelism, discipleship and church-planting in Ecuador and beyond. After 30-years as missionaries, Jim worked in the BBFI Mission Office as an associate director for eight years. Since beginning Generations International Ministry in 2016, Jim and Sharon are joyfully dedicated to training and encouraging men and women in ministry in different parts of the world.

 

“Sharon and I both feel strongly that it is our responsibility to declare the faithfulness and mercy God to another generation of Christian leaders. We believe that our experiences, our skills and even our tragedies are tools that when placed in the hands of our God can be used to forge better and stronger leaders. We believe that healthy pastors will influence healthy churches and church planting and multiplication will happen. Healthy churches produce healthy missionaries.” – Jim Smith
