Cherith
Ministries
Cherith Ministries was organized in 1986
by James L. Jones. Jones, a graduate of Bob Jones University, was
licensed and commissioned by the Tabernacle Baptist Church of Greenville,
South Carolina in 1979. He surrendered to full-time service in the
field of Missionary Evangelism that same year and began conducting
revival meetings and evangelistic campaigns throughout the Eastern
states. In 1983, the Lord led Him to concentrate on reaching souls
in the coalfield area of Southern West Virginia. It was during this
phase of his ministry that God began to burden his heart with the
need for Bible study material. The Lord used the Biblical account
in I Kings Chapter 17 where Elijah was fed by the ravens at the Brook
Cherith during a time of great drought. If God can use ravens to deliver
bread, He can use a teaching ministry to deliver the Bread of Life.
He shared the burden with his wife Sharon, and they both dedicated
their lives to the production and distribution of practical Bible
study material. They named the ministry after the brook, and Cherith
Ministries was born.
