Meet Jim Vernon
Lost in the Philippines.
Found by mercy.
I’m Jim—an American who now calls Negros Oriental home. Years ago, a motorcycle crash, a desperate cry, and what followed changed the direction of my life forever.
“I believe Jesus had heard my cry for mercy.”
— Jim Vernon
My personal testimony
A shattered knee. A lingering disease. A heart brought home.
My story begins in Miami, travels through war-era Philippines, and reaches a hospital room where I finally cried out for mercy. This is my account of how God intervened, placed the right people in my path, and gave me another chance.
