Jim North Obituary

I knew Navigator almost at the same time as Jim North & the family left Indonesia. So basically I never met with him. Through Navigator, I knew Jesus Christ and the power of redemption. I believe there are a lot of people like me in Indonesia and the rest of the world who experiencing the same thing as mine. Jim has gone but those who knew him and his works will remember his hearts through what he has done; to guide lost soul to know Jesus Christ and receive Him as the only way to see our God.

The shock felt round the world!

The family of a missionary in the Amazon Basin went to visit him.
After traveling by plane, helicopter, canoe and foot, they reached him at last.
“Wow, you've really buried yourself down here,� they exclaimed.
"Not buried – planted, “said the missionary. “Big difference.�

Buried or planted? Overcome, dead and put away with a headstone that will remember your name longer than the people around it? Or, dying to self in the unseen places of your heart? Both equal death but the punctuation is different. Buried is death with a period. Planted is death with a comma.
Jim's life was certainly planted by His Lord. And may we be a part of the comma !!

Peace to you and the family, Janice,
John and Ruth Meyer

Janice, We were so sorry to hear of Jim's passing, but also excited to know that he is recieving in person the "well done" from our Lord and Savior. What a reunion that was! Junior and Janis Nachtigal

Dear Janice,
I will always remember Jim and his passion for missions. Indonesia was always on the tip of his tongue.

May you sense the peace of The Lord during this time.

Becky and family,
I'm very sorry for your loss. I remembered your family tonight in the prayers at Westminster Abbey - perhaps a fitting location given his international work. I'm sure many people around the world are praying for you.

Jim was a good man, and I am very glad I spent some time around him. Jim touched my life in a many ways, as I am sure he touched many. Rest in peace Jim. Youll be missed by many.

Jimmy

In 1968, I was at the San Francisco docks. I can not remember who was with me. I do remember Jim telling us that he knew this was Gods' calling for he and Carolyn. That he did not know how they would be received and that they may not make it back.
We watched them board the ship and we waived as it pulled away and on to Indonesia.
Their commitment made a profound affect on my walk with God. Thank you Jim for your example. You will not be forgotten. Dean and Irene Meeker

Janice, Becky, Lisa, Cindy, Melissa, Matt,

We are in Florida with Shelley, David and their children, so this will be brief. We are saddened to hear of your loss, but we know it is his gain. As humans we still miss that loved one. We wish we could be there to give you all a big hug.

All our love,
Dale and Kay Peterson
