MT. VERNON (IMB) – Jim Flora, an IMB missionary from Missouri who served faithfully among the Basotho people of Lesotho in Sub-Saharan Africa, died from cancer Friday, May 8, 2021. He was 63.
“From the pulpits of Missouri to the mountains of Lesotho, Jim was passionate about sharing the gospel and loved to preach the good news of Jesus Christ,” Paul Chitwood, IMB president, said. “While he will be missed around the world, we know that many will stand before the throne of the Lamb one day because of Jim’s witness. May others show the kind of obedience that Jim so faithfully lived.”

For the past six years, Buddy Stacy and his family and friends have had a Santa s workshop in Tahlequah. For Santa s Workshop 74464, the group develops 10 different toy designs and makes 10 copies of each one for a total of 100 toy packages, said Stacy. The toys we make are always wood. We do the bulk of the building ourselves, but we do have a couple of gentlemen who help us out each year to ensure everything gets built on time. Once everything is built, we hold an annual community paint party where we invite the community to come paint the toys.
