On September 22, 2026, the Lord welcomed His faithful servant, Rev. Charles H. Jones, home. International Ministries (IM) gives thanks to God for the years of service Charles shared with this mission society. From 1997 until 2025, he served IM, the wider American Baptist family, and the global church in many different roles. He is perhaps best known for his long tenure as an area director, providing steady support and encouragement to mission partners and global servants across Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.

International Ministries gives thanks for Charles’ life and invites you to remember it with us in gratitude for his faithful service, through song, and with the hope and joy he freely gave to others.
