Jim's wife, Carol, grew up in a missionary family in Quito, Ecuador. Her special interests include small-group Bible studies and ministries for children. Their two children, Shari and Dan, were born in Nigeria. Jim and Carol recently became the grandparents of two Ethiopian babies adopted by Shari and her husband Shawn. All lectures will be held in Grace Chapel on the campus of Toccoa Falls College.
Sessions are open to the public.
The Woerner Missionary Lecture Series was established in 1971 as an annual lectureship at Toccoa Falls College. Forced to leave China after a ministry of twenty years, Uncle Gus continued to impart to his students a clear vision of a world in desperate need of the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. In 1978, immediately after delivering a dedicatory prayer for student summer missionaries, Uncle Gus entered the presence of his Lord. The Woerner Missionary Lecture Series seeks to bring to this campus distinguished missionaries, teachers, and scholars who truly believe the Great Commission and accept it as a challenge which is relevant and meaningful for this generation.
