For 16 years at City Limits Church in Allentown, Pennsylvania Pastor Jim has energetically pursued the work of God. A former addict, 26 years clean!!!, he is now reclaiming territory stolen by the enemy and bringing victory to the people of this city through the power of the Holy Spirit. His plan has been pretty simple: Get out there! "Always present, always visible, always out there". He said "I'm not leaving there (Allentown)... It'll be in a box or in the rapture!" Obviously Pastor Jim is passionate about the task God has given him.
All of this passion has lead him to develop an outreach called the U-Turn Project. It's four part mission is to help people in the city to Dream about their future, Challenge them to grow beyond their circumstances, impress God given Vision for their life, and instill Hope when things seem hopeless. A major focus is enabling people to become free from the pain and false security of gang involvement. By living the love of God, Christ centered mentoring, and Holy Spirit driven outreach, Pastor Jimmy and City Limits Church is successfully bringing people from the crowd into the circle where life to it's fullest!
What shouts the loudest from this interview and from knowing Pastor Jim over the years? Calling... Calling... Calling...
When God Calls, and we are certain and obedient, He builds His Church and we find life...
