I am excited to share that this July 1 will be the 25th anniversary of the official birthing of Christ-Life Ministries. Since then, we have seen thousands of people receive emotional healing and life transformation through The Ultimate Journey. As stewards of The Ultimate Journey and with the help of our amazing Board of Directors, three years ago we began a strategic planning process earnestly seeking God’s wisdom on how to make sure Christ-Life Ministries continues beyond Kathie and me.

Two years ago, God blessed us by calling John Selman to serve at Christ-Life Ministries. After serving on our Leadership Team for two years now, we are excited to announce that John has accepted the position of Co-Executive Director. John is an amazing man of God with tremendous gifts and talents. His servant heart has helped free up Kathie and me to concentrate more of our time on direct ministry. Over the next few years, we look forward to being freed up to do even more as John takes on more and more of the leadership responsibilities.

Prior to joining Christ-Life Ministries, John most recently owned and managed a real estate and development agency. He has over 15 years of management experience and has served on the board of his church and many non-profits. John has master’s degrees in both non-profit management and education. John and his wife, Meredith, have three children, Josiah (10), Ayla (8), and Levi (1).

John and I will serve, together, as Co-Executive Directors for the next couple of years in what, hopefully, will be a seamless transfer of leadership. Eventually, as John takes over all of the Executive Director responsibilities, Kathie and I will transition to part-time focusing on teaching turbos, mentoring leaders, and discipling individuals for as long as God enables us.

If you have any thoughts or questions, feel free to reach out to John, Kathie or me.

In His Covenant Love,

Jim Hobson

Co-Executive Director
