Dr. Randall L. (Randy) and Mary Jane James MEET OUR LINKS MISSIONARIES! Randy and Mary Jane James are newly-assigned intern missionaries for the International Church of the Nazarene.  They have been assigned to Africa Nazarene University near Nairobi, Kenya. Randy graduated from Trevecca Nazarene University with a Bachelors degree in Religion. He also received a Masters degree in Religion from Trevecca and a Doctorate of Religious Studies with a focus on Church Administration from Trinity Theological Seminary. He was ordained an elder in the Church of the Nazarene in 1980.  Mary Jane graduated from Ball State University with a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education and from Trevecca Nazarene University with a Masters degree in Education.  The James's have two children, Toni, a Children's Pastor in Sacramento, California, and Rick, a Youth and Music Pastor in Springfield, Ohio. Prior to their appointment, the James's served as Associate Pastors for four and half years, Evangelists and Song Evangelists for seven years, and have pastored for nearly twenty years in Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Florida.  Randy has served on various district boards and Mary Jane has served as the Children's Ministries Director on the Tennessee and Northeastern Indiana Districts. Once they are stationed at Africa Nazarene University, Randy will be serving as University Chaplain and Lecturer and Mary Jane will be splitting her time teaching in the areas of Education and Music. Don't forget, our purpose, as a church, for our assigned missionaries is to be much in prayer for them daily, to love them, to correspond with them by sending cards signed by our church members, to send e-mails, and to remember them on special occasions with gifts and offerings of our love for them. Whatever their needs are, we as a church want to be there for them and assure them of our prayers, love, and support. Special Days: Randy's Birthday: August 15 Mary Jane's Birthday: August 3 Anniversary: July 27 You can e-mail your special greetings and good wishes directly to Dr. Randy and Ms. Mary Jane at rjames@anu.ac.ke If you would like to send them gifts or letters, please contact Ms. Joyce or Sister Gail.
