Brother Price was saved when he was twenty-three years old. He was not raised in a Christian family, but he heard the Gospel a number of different times through many believers. He finally submitted to the Lord and was saved in 1983. In 1986, at a missions conference in Cold Lake, Alberta, he surrendered to the call of God for full-time service. Ruth was raised in a Christian home, and was saved at the age of five. She grew up in an atmosphere of serving others in many ways, from entertaining the many visitors who came to their home, to singing with her family in retirement homes and on native reserves. Brother Price has a Bachelor of Theology degree from Bible Baptist College in Simcoe, Ontario, as well as a Master of Arts degree from Indiana Baptist Seminary, Greenwood, Indiana. He pastored Vision Baptist Church in Leduc, Alberta for twenty-five years and was heavily involved in the Bearing Precious Seed ministry before the Lord called him and his wife, Ruth, to join firstBible International in January 2021. The Prices travel to churches to raise an awareness of the responsibility and the need to get the Bible translated into the language of people groups who do not yet have a reliable and readable copy of God’s Word. They also seek to challenge young people with the opportunity of full-time service for the Lord either on the mission field, or in the pastorate. Jim and Ruth also strive to be an encouragement to the pastor, his wife and family, and to the churches in which they present their ministry.
