Meet Your LINKS Missionaries for 2016-2019 (Retired) JIM & KAYE WILLIAMS The last day of March 2016 was our last day as active Nazarene missionaries. It is hard to believe that we were appointed 40 years ago! We spent 17 wonderful years in Taiwan, then 16 beautiful years in Hong Kong, followed by 5 1/2 amazing years in a Creative Access Area. It seems impossible that 40 years have gone by. We have had a wonderful life! We have been doing deputation work, and your district's NMI Convention was our "kick-off" to a year of travel. The offering given by West Texans was the largest we have ever received! It was such an encouragement to us as we began the deputation tour and retirement. We have 3 children, who all grew up in Taiwan. Lisa our oldest, is married to Patrick and they have two children. They live in the Oklahoma City area. Lori and her husband Todd live in San Francisco. They have twin daughters and there is quite a story behind these 'miracle babies'. Our son, Ryan, and Kelli have been married 5 years and live here in Oklahoma City. We have recently bought a house. Our oldest grandchild, Anderson, is 7 years old. His sister, Cora, is 3 years old. Our twin granddaughters (Charlie & Aiden), in San Francisco, are 1. Since our grandchildren are all quite young we look forward to being able to be a part of their lives! We are also eager to see what kind of ministry God will lead us to in our retirement--whether it be in our local church or in the community. We believe in keeping Missions 'alive' in the lives of children and young people. They need to hear how God is working all around our world. I received my 'call' to be a missionary as I was reading a children's missionary reading book, 'Pioneers to New Guinea' (by Wanda Knox) as a child growing up in San Jacinto Church (now Amarillo Valleyview) on the West Texas District. Jim received his call to missions as a sophomore at Bethany Nazarene College (now SNU.) We are praying that our Heavenly Father, through His Holy Spirit, will continue to call children and teenagers to go and serve Him in places outside of the USA. ANNIVERSARY: BIRTHDAYS: Jim 3/9; Kaye 1/12 Address: 7908 Wood Duck Dr. /Oklahoma City, OK 73132 Please mail Christmas cards and birthday cards to this Oklahoma City address. Phone: 405 227 0212 Email: jimandkaye20152016@gmail.com Interests: Golf, books. They would enjoy gift cards for Academy Sports, Macy's & Cracker Barrel. Prayer Requests: Prayer for productive ministry! Pray for occasional return trips to the field. Page - 5 - of 8
