SPOKANE, Wash. (BP) – Pastor Jim Shiner has a heart for orphans – the church kind.
He feels for churches that seem forgotten, abandoned, in need of intensive care. Churches withering from neglect, abuse, strife.
“I have a heart for the orphan Christian, the person who’s been hurt,” Shiner said. “My ministry has been to come into a broken situation and get it healthy again.”
For Shiner, that work comes from a deeply personal place.
