The JEMfriends story began in the heart of a young girl who was deeply grieved at the thought of anyone being rejected or forgotten. From the time she first understood the meanings of abortion and adoption, Liberty (Barrett) Thompson dreamed of establishing a home where rejected children could be safe and loved. Liberty’s parents introduced her to the work of Hope House, a local children’s home.

As a teenager, Liberty read the story of Amanda, a girl her age, who had been placed in several foster homes, experienced a failed adoption, and had eventually arrived at Hope House. In Amanda’s story, Liberty saw someone who needed a friend. Liberty used her high school years to engage with girls living at Hope House through playing sports, writing letters, and leading prayer groups. Through Liberty’s persistent effort, Amanda became her best friend.

In 2008, the time came for both girls to graduate high school. Liberty could see that youth aging out of foster care face difficult circumstances, but she finally understood the degree of adversity they face the day Amanda asked Liberty to speak for her at her graduation. While pondering her responsibility and how to best encourage Amanda in her transition, Liberty searched the internet for information on youth leaving children’s homes. She discovered the concept of aging out and the dire situation it presented. Three statistics burned into her mind.

Within 2 years of aging-out, 50% of aged out youth will not have finished high school, 25% will be incarcerated, 50% will be homeless.

Kimbra Shaw, Treasurer – Kimbra and her family have lived in Idaho for 20 years. Family is central to her values and she enjoys having everyone over for Sunday dinner. She came to JEMfriends because of the family-like connections they help JEMyouth create. Her passion is for developing leaders and creating organizational stability and sustainability. She brings deep experience in multiple sectors ranging from large corporate sales to community development. Kimbra is a consummate learner and enjoys solving challenges and helping nonprofits better understand and meet the needs of our community.

Jim Gentle

https://thebucketministry.org/meet-the-team/

Jim was born in 1956 the second son of a young US Air Force
family and moved many times as his Dad transferred from one assignment to another .

Having to make new friends from so many different backgrounds pointed the way to a career in sales . In fact his first sales job started at the age of 6 when he walked the county roads going door to door selling greeting cards.

A commission check was a great motivator to learn the skill set needed to become more than your brothers or friends thought possible . It turned out to be the providence of God at work .

He and his wife got married right after high school . Three kids , five grandkids and just short of 50 years together . Guess the sales skills came in handy .

In 1989 Jim started in automobile sales , loved it and made it a career lasting 31 years . Funny thing , it wasn’t about a love for cars, it was a love for people that created that career .

Searching for a way to create significance over success God led him to The Bucket Ministry . He started out making donations but God had a bigger vision . Pastor Matt asked him to join a mission trip to Kenya.

“Next thing I knew I was out of the boat and standing in Nairobi Kenya . I had always dreamed of the chance to go to Africa but it never included the Kibera Slum . “

That trip changed everything .

He just came back from the Kenya Extreme Expedition and is headed to Kenya again in March and July of 2024 .

“I like to think of this as being in service to the KIng ” Being in fealty to the KIng means to do as He commands , go when He says to go and give it your best daily . The plan of the King laid out for you before the foundation of the earth will be greater than you could ever imagine” !

As Dave McDonald says : Have the courage needed to just get out of the boat !

Favorite Verse:
“For I know the plans that I have for you declares the Lord , plans for prosperity and not for disaster , to give you a future and a hope . “ -Jeremiah 29:11
