I attended Bethany in the 1970´s and met Brother Jim Clark there. He was a wonderful man of God and one of the greatest Bible teachers I have ever heard. I was blessed to attend Bethany, Bethany Bible Institute and Charismatic Hall (later named New Roads Church) where his teachings greatly impacted my life. He was an inspiration to me and to all who knew him. His impact on my life remains and I will always be blessed by his presence and influence in my life. I know he is rejoicing in Heaven and I look forward to the day when I will join him there.

I spent many hours in his classes at Bethany Bible Institute back in the 70s and remember him as the greatest and most learned bible scholar I've ever met. He told us that God called him into the ministry by speaking to him in an audible voice. I will never forget him and think of him often.

I attended Bethany when Jim Clark was associate Pastor. He was such an inspiration and has such knowledge of God's word. He will be missed by many, but he is now home.

I first met Bro. Jim & Melanie on their 1st mission trip to Ollie Lovett's in Mexico. We had a great time & enjoyed his ministry in all the years following. What a wonderful legacy he has left to his children and grandchildren and all of us who were privileged to hear his revelation of God's Word.

Dear Sisters Melanie, Janet and Family,
Let us thank God for the life and legacy of your father and husband who taught us how to live and love. So many people have been impacted by his "stern, loving" demeanor. Brother Clark will be missed most by those who personally loved him dearly.
May his soul enjoy eternal REST, seeing those who have gone before and waiting for those of us who have been left behind.
So glad to have admired Brother Clark from a distance: his unforgettable character and Christian legacy become the example for us to follow.
Lovingly,
Ora Lee Plummer

We extend our sympathies to all the family in the home-going of Bro. Clark. A husband, dad, grandfather, teacher and mentor to so many can never be replaced. His investment in the lives of his family and in the kingdom of God will live on in those he loved. Our prayers are with you as you say your goodbyes now and in the days ahead as you face life's challenges without his presence, love and guidance. But, we also rejoice in the thoughts of your hello someday with him again in the presence of our Lord. May God abundantly pour over your hearts His comfort. Bro. Charles and Bonnie Stokes

Clark with long life and faithfully showed him His salvation (Psalm 91:16). He will be remembered by many as a strong, noble man of God. Please know that my fond thoughts and earnest prayers are with each of you.
Yours in Christ,

It must be the season for God to call His mature servants home and to let the fruit that they have borne carry the legacy forward. Brother Jim was one of those! I know that my precious husband, who just went to be with the Lord May 20 was so excited to be joined in Heaven by Brother Jim, whom he respected so much! They're having great fellowship with the One Who called them into His service, I believe. Sister Janet, the Lord will be so very close to you, strengthen you, love you, and comfort you just as He has me. I love you and pray for your wonderful family.

I remember as a child growing up hearing Br Clark preach at Faith Tabernacle (now Household of Faith in Gonzales). He was a great man of faith and one of the BEST CHRISTIAN role models for anyone to look up to because he truly not only taught the Word of GOD but lived it to the fullest! My husband Charles & I would like to express our deepest sympathy to his family and we know that one day we will all be together again with our loved ones up in heaven forever with our LORD & SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST!
