2021 and then be trained through the Bible college. Through this method, many pastors and
missionaries were sent to the harvest fields throughout Brazil and the world.

Jimmy introduced Faith Promise missions to dozens of churches that would go on to
support national missionaries solely with the giving of national churches. In later years,
he served as Brazil Director for BIMI, preaching conferences throughout Brazil and the
United States.

His life truly was a testimony of God’s amazing grace. As a young man he was raised
in Colorado where he was involved with gangs and other questionable activities. The
marks of that life before conversion were carried with him into ministry, evident by the
many tattoos on his body. As a teen destined to end up in jail, he was sent to live with
relatives in Greenville, South Carolina. It was there that he met Nancy Owens, who was
to become his wife. She invited him to Tabernacle Baptist Church where he met Christ
and was changed forever. He never got over the joy of that meeting and enthusiastically
proclaimed Christ throughout his life. As one of my heroes, it was a privilege for our
family to work alongside Brother Jimmy in ministry and later as his Assistant Director.

Today, our missionaries are reaping the blessings of the blood, sweat, and tears shed by
pioneers like Jimmy Rose. He will be missed, but his influence will continue through
the lives he influenced! Jesus said, I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour:
other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours (John. 4:38). W
Missionary Jimmy Rose (84) went Home to be with the Lord July 20, 2021. In
1961, Jimmy and Nancy Rose were the first BIMI missionaries to serve in the
country of Brazil. The ministry of Brother Rose was one of church planting and
evangelistic campaigns. He preached in every area of the country and hundreds
of souls were saved in those campaigns. Jimmy Rose became the Brazil Director
and then Brazil International Representative for BIMI.
