Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.
(1 Chronicles 16:24 nkjv)

Jim Gregor

Honouring JIM GREGOR, and the ministry of EYMI,
which he envisioned, initiated, developed, and led.

Scriptures that Jim Gregor lived, and promoted:

That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but to keep His commandments. (Psalm 78:8)

Now this is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent. (John 17:3)

Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples. (1 Chronicles 16:24 NKJV)

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. (Romans 12:2)

We, who came alongside Jim in his EYMI ministry, have seen these verses guide the ministry, and our personal parts within it.

Observe first the "Job description" that framed Jim's personal ministry, AND was fully realized through his zeal and energy and talent. You will "see" Jim in the words I share:
