Missionary:    JIM E. WALDRON

 

 

Jim Waldron was born in Nashville, Tennessee November 4, 1935. He completed High School in 1955, and enrolled in David Lipscomb that autumn. He holds a BA in history from Lincoln Memorial University, Harrogate, TN, and MS in Agriculture Extension Education from the University of Tennessee. He is a trained EMT (Emergency Medical Technician).

 

 

February 22, 1958, he and Laura Gary of Oak Ridge, Tennessee were married. The Waldrons have three sons and one daughter - their daughter having been adopted in Pakistan in 1970 - and nine grandchildren.

 

 

Jim began preaching in June 1955, and preached one and one-half years in North Carolina, six and one-half years in Middle, Tennessee, ten years in East Tennessee, and three years in Cincinnati where he also served as an elder.

 

 

For a total of ten years between 1967 and 1982 the Waldron’s lived and worked abroad in Pakistan (1967-1970), Australia (1971-1975) and Hong Kong (1979-1981). He has taught for extended periods in schools of preaching in Pakistan; Australia; East Tennessee at Karns, Knoxville; Nepal; India and Ukraine.

 

 

Jim has also engaged in ten public debates. Two of these are in print: one on marriage and divorce and one on the thousand-year reign. In 1967, the same year the Waldron’s went to Pakistan, they began publishing a monthly Newsletter. It is now in its 43rd year. Jim Waldron also edits a monthly known as the Bulletin Briefs, which began in 1998.

 

 

In 1986 he began traveling abroad from six to eight months each year in order to set up and conduct schools for native workers in various countries to train them to reach their own with the gospel of Jesus and His kingdom. Waldron has been instrumental in setting up sixteen Preacher Training schools in India, Nepal and Ukraine. He strongly believes that faithful (2 Tim. 2:2) disciples should be trained in their own lands to reach their own people with the gospel, to win souls for Jesus and build strong local churches of Christ.

 

 

In the past twenty years more than 800 congregations have been set up as a result of this preacher training work. Jim serves as an evangelist under the oversight of the Crossville Church of Christ, Crossville, TN, P.O. Box 1010, Crossville, TN 38557.
