Before entering the ministry, Jim was a professional investment advisor in Toronto (Canada) – eventually starting and directing his own financial planning firm. God got a hold of Jim’s heart, and called him into ministry. Jim (and his wife, Claudia) love to use their entrepreneurial gifts to advance the cause of Christ through church planting.
