This was an episode I really enjoyed recording. Jim Reynolds is the founder and President of Ultimate Mission, an organization that is training health workers in remote villages of India and other places around the world. Jim’s vision is to help save lives through education. All of this is just a small part of Jim’s story. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it.
These two young boys came up to me about 1011 years old and both of them were saying, they told me, do you have any food? And I didn't have any food with me. I had a pocket full of rupees, but I have 300 people around me. I can't really start handing out rupees. And I said, I'm sorry. They said, We're really hungry. Do you have any food? And I said, no, I don't have any food. And I left those boys hungry. And I asked our doctors, and I said, what can we do? I mean, we can't feed all the children in India. And that's when the idea started coming because they were saying, if you could teach them to drink clean water and wash their hands, you'd make a huge difference, because a lot of the nutrition that they do get is going to fight off disease. Hey, everyone, it's the Simply Overcoming Podcast, and this is Aaron written hour. Thanks for joining us once again for another episode today, I have a very wonderful guest with me, a good friend of mine who is changing thousands of people's lives around the world. But before we start talking with him, I just wanted to mention something that happened recently. I was speaking to one of the listeners of the Simply Overcoming podcast, and he asked me a question. And that question was, Why did I stop recording the podcast a year and a half ago after the first episode? Because if you are somebody who started listening back then, I only recorded one episode and then stopped recording. And I really had to think about it. But I realized that the answer is very simple. I didn't feel like I was the right person to be talking to people about overcoming when I have things in my life that I have to overcome. I'm still struggling with things in my life, but I recently came to a realization, and that realization is this isn't about me. This is about the people out there who are listening to these stories, the people who can benefit from the stories from the people on this podcast. You should never feel like you're unworthy to help somebody by sharing your own experiences in your own story. Okay. Let's get into the episode I present to you, Jim Reynolds. I met you four years ago, right? Jim? I believe so. Yeah. In India. Yeah. I met you in India. It's kind of funny because I was thinking about this, and I realized that we were in Wallawala together a couple of months ago for some meetings. And I realized that other than one time meeting you in an airport in Seattle, that was the first time where I was hanging out with you on American soil in the last four years. That is funny. I don't know if you noticed that I did not even think of that because we have spent massive time going from village to village and in cars and trains and busses. I don't think we're all small buses, but mostly cars and trains and airplanes. So we spent massive time doing this cool stuff over in India, and I've yet to get you over to the Philippines, but I know that's coming. Yeah, I hope so. I'd love to come over to the Philippines with you. That would be great. Well, hey, Jim, thanks for being on the show today. I know you have a fantastic story, and I know it's taken me all these years, but I just listened to your audiobook that you have over on your podcast, the Christian Life Empowerment Podcast. It was great. I learned a lot of things about you that I didn't know whatsoever. Probably way too much. That's what I tell people more than you need in this
