Making a global impact has no age limit. We are blessed to work beside a couple who desire to spend their life serving, even in retirement. Jim and Shirley Fox have been with us for nearly 6 years as volunteers and as partners in our ministry. More than likely if you have visited us during the week you have seen Jim outside mowing, weed-eating, painting, or working on the ropes course. His wife stays busy as well taking care of plants, cleaning, and serving in any way that is needed.
The Fox's serve with a ministry called Campers on Mission, which means they live on our campus in an RV camper the majority of the year returning home during the winter months. They have chosen to spend their retirement years serving and because of their service they are partnering with School to the Nations to reach those who have never heard the Gospel.
Jim and Shirley are members of Starling Road Baptist Church where they have attended faithfully for 49 years. We are blessed by their service and inspired by their willingness to give ALL of their life to serving God. They are wonderful models of what it means to serve for the cause of missions, giving the talents given them to advance God's message of love and hope to all nations.
Thank you for your hearts to serve, Jim and Shirley.
In the words of Christ, "Well done, good and faithful servant..." (Matt. 25:21)
Each of our Heart to Serve featured staff members/volunteers will receive a free 16oz. frozen yogurt from Orange Leaf in Nixa, MO. We are happy to partner with the wonderful people at Orange Leaf to honor these special people who are using their gifts to change the world!!
