Jim Waldron, long-time missions activist, passes
CROSSVILLE TN ─ Jim Waldron left this life on July 15, 2024. His memorial service was held on Saturday July 27 at the Crossville congregational building, according to the “Richards Newsletter” sent by email Aug. 8.
For a total of ten years between 1967 and 1982 the Waldrons as a family lived and worked abroad in Pakistan (1967–1970), Australia (1971-1975) and Hong Kong (1979-1982), according to the Waldron Missions website. He taught for extended periods in schools of preaching in Pakistan; Australia; East Tennessee at Karns, Knoxville; India, Nepal; and Ukraine.
Jim engaged in 14 public debates on subjects such as marriage and divorce, the thousand-year reign, the manner in which the Holy Spirit dwells in Christians and the anti-orphan home and anti-cooperation issues.
In 1986 Waldron began traveling abroad from six to eight months each year in order to set up or conduct schools for native workers in various countries to train them to reach their own with the gospel of Jesus and His kingdom. He and others set up Bible training schools in India, Pakistan, Nepal and Ukraine. He later concentrated his work in India.
The “Richards Newsletter” regarded Waldron as a “fierce defender of the faith, a dedicated teacher, and a zealous soul winner.”
