So sorry for your loss. The whole Bain family was so dear to my family, Versie and Clara Mae Ramage, Gloria and Judy while he was pastor at Derma Baptist Church, Derma, MS. Bro> Jim was my school teacher at Calhoun City High School. He also led my boyfriend (future husband) Barry Tedford to the Lord. He performed our wedding at Oxford Baptist Church in December 1966. He was loved and respected by so many here in Calhoun County. My prayers are with you all.

Miss Betty I remember when Mother died that you and Bro. Jim stopped by at her visitation. It meant so much. I have not been well and it isn't. wise for me to go out for an extended period. I have what I call my Istrouma Bible which I used. when Bro. Jim preached and outlined his sermons. I will laminate his obituary and keep it in that Bible. I am a better Christian because of my years at IBC.

Bro. Jim and Ms. Betty were like second parents to me growing up and I've always loved them so very much. To know Bro. Jim was to know a man who faithfully served the Lord and his family every single day of his life. What a wonderful legacy of faith and love he's left for his precious family, friends, Istrouma and for everyone who's been blessed to know him.
I'm so thankful for the many wonderful memories I have of Bro. Jim and I'll treasure them the rest of my life. While it's still hard to realize he's gone, I'm rejoicing because I know he's exactly where he wants to be, with JESUS and a heavenly host of angels. I'm looking forward to the day I see Bro. Jim again. I can imagine him running to welcome us all to heaven with a big bear hug, broad smile and a twinkle in his eye before he shouts, "WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG??? Come on, let's go see JESUS!!!"

Bro. Jim was a special man to those whom he was pastor. I will always remember his love for tomatoes and beans. He was old fashioned preacher mixed with country good eating habits. The Lord used him in his time to witness to many in his time. I will remember him always.

He had such a powerful presence and at the same time was a gentle giant.
I remember when he baptized me. I was waiting at the top of the stairs for his signal to walk down into the water and I'll never forget the way his black robe was swirling around and floating on the water. Then I remember giggling to myself because I realized he was wearing his big ole hunting waders underneath! After he baptized me he just pulled them off and put his suit coat back on and went on to give his sermon without missing a beat.
He was a great man.

My sweet friend. Preacher as I called him was so precious to Oliver and me He prayed with us so many times, encouraged me in my 12 years of being singles director and loved us unconditionally. He was so proud of Oliver's love of his fifth graders. He would call and talk with Oliver when they were both so ill Our saying to each other for many years was "to keep on keeping on!" And he and Oliver did until the Lord brought them home . They both have to be rejoicing right now! I will have to keep on keeping on until I join them. God bless you Betty and your wonderful family I love so much.

I consider brother Jim as my "father in the ministry." Brother Jim led me to the Lord, married Terry and I, and led my ordination service. He was a true man of God who taught me how to pursue being a man of God. I will always treasure his impact on my life.
May our Lord be near to you, Mrs. Betty, and to all your family and give you peace, joy and strength during this time.
