MISSIONARIES – Jim and Joan Hansen

They were a part of our church family where Jim served as an Elder and Christian Education Director. When the Lord called them to the mission field, we have been supporters from the start. The Lord led them to Commission on Compassion, where they faithfully served Christ, ministering to the deaf and deaf/blind in Los Angeles. Jim was also the pastor of Grace Bible Church for the Deaf. That ministry ended and they moved to Arkansas to be near Joan’s mother and take care of their medical needs. The mission has asked them to serve in pastoral care of the retired missionaries, providing support and encouragement to them. Jim will be speaking from 2 Corinthians 5:20 and Matthew 5:13-16. His challenge will be that we are to be operating as ambassadors for Christ. What does this mean? How do we accomplish this? We are appointed by God and given the assignment to represent Him as light and salt to a world in darkness. The light we shine is the gospel and glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. We welcome the Hansen’s back with us and look forward to hearing how the Lord continues to lead and bless their pathway.
