Bio: Mardria and Rev. Jim lived an entire lifetime serving others. They both ministered as missionaries throughout Asia and the Far East for over 40 years, starting orphanages, schools, feeding programs, teaching, training and disciplining. Mardria also taught several Biblical study courses at Southwestern India Bible College. Her love of people was reflected by the many friendships she formed wherever she went. She never knew a stranger and no matter who she made contact with; they left her presence feeling better than they were before. Her vast knowledge of the Bible was encouraging to her family and her many friends. Wherever she went, she made a positive impact for Christ.
