User:Jim M. Roane

Dr. Jim Roane has spent a lifetime in humanitarian and relief work. Early in his career, he served as a medical social worker for the California Welfare Department, then as the administrator of a large private hospital in Southern California. His colorful career has taken him to all parts of the world—as the Managing Director of the Lillian Trasher Memorial Orphanage in Egypt, to the Director of Central Services to the United Mission to Nepal, and the Executive Director of the Northwest Teen Challenge Drug Rehabilitation Program for the northwestern sector of the United States, as well as professorial and chairmanship positions on the university level at North Central University (MN), and Trinity College (ND).

Up until just recently, he also served as Director of Administration for the Mission Of Mercy Hospital, Calcutta, India, as well as other responsibilities in Southern Asia. Most recently he and his wife, Bonnie-who is a registered nurse-helped coordinate a major NGO cooperative effort for tsunami relief in Sri Lanka, and continue in that role as advisors and consultants in humanitarian and relief work.

Dr. Roane is currently the Director of Evangelism for Network211, an internet ministry that has a goal of introducing Christ to 10 million people in the next 10 years.

Dr. and Mrs. Roane feel that each human being placed on this earth by our Heavenly Father is a person of worth and dignity, and has the inalienable right to the pursuit of truth, happiness, and religious and political freedom.
