And God says, "Jim Peters, my servant, come home. Be healed"

Today, a dear friend and an unbelievable servant of the Lord, has been healed in eternity.

Jim Peters closed his eyes on this side of eternity and now STANDS in the presence of God. You see, Jim Peters has lived with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig ’s Disease) for 20 years or so. I had the pleasure to serve Jim as his pastor at Woodbine and also count that time as “serving together.” Jim compiled computer graphics, created forms and was often a sounding board for my off-the-wall ideas.

Recently, Jim was ordained as a pastor and together with his wife, Pastor Deborah Peters, founded the Sozo ministry . Jim never let his disease stop his activity, though it limited his ability. Jim attended Promise Keepers conferences, served on many ministry teams and prayed for people, often times for their healing. Jim’s greatest gift was his unquenchable encouraging spirit.

Jim will be sorely missed, but not forever. We will be reunited with Jim when we are blessed to be where he now stands.
