As I write this letter, Jim is in Myanmar, previously known as Burma. The population of this country is about 50 million people. 40 million are Buddhists. Myanmar has a small Christian population with a big task in front of them. Jim is working with Myanmar’s Christian leaders, training them to be more effective in reaching the people of that country, and helping them set up businesses to support their ministries. He is on the front lines of missions, doing the things that will have the longest and most far-reaching effects on the mission field.

Jim never asks us for anything; he is a man of faith and has been as long as I have known him. I was thinking this morning about his wife Paula, who went to be with the Lord many years ago. We used to sing together; we  recorded an album together. She was like a big sister to me. Together, Jim and Paula inspired Anne and me to become more involved in missions.

Jim wrote this and it inspired me today. I hope it inspires you too:

“I see masses of people every day that are going to hell and don’t even know it. I once had a cartoon framed on my office wall in Japan. It showed people floating in the ocean on a block of melting ice while seated in a lawn chair enjoying the sun and a cool drink, while Christian people on shore did the same thing, ignoring the fact that those in the ocean were about to drown. God, help us to wake up and see our disobedience to what You really told us to do by taking the easy, wide road of disobedience rather than the narrow road of obedience.”

Please consider supporting Jim’s ministry.  He is truly a faithful servant of the Lord..

In His service,  Brian Weller
