Jim and Kathy Radcliffe are global missionaries with the Church of the Nazarene in Papua New Guinea.
Jim is a general surgeon. He received the B.A. degree from Mount Vernon Nazarene University in Mount Vernon, Ohio, in 1976. He graduated from Ohio State University Medical School in Columbus, Ohio, in 1979 and completed his residency in General Surgery in 1984.
Kathy received the A.A. degree from Mount Vernon Nazarene University and the B.S. degree in medical dietetics from Ohio State University in 1977. Prior to their missionary assignment, Jim served in Guatemala and Kathy served in Belize with Youth In Mission in 1974. This is a program designed by the Church of the Nazarene to give students practical mission experience. The Radcliffes spent a short term in Papua New Guinea while Jim was in medical school. Both of these mission experiences were affirming of their call to missions as a career.
During their years of service, the Radcliffes have been involved in church work, women’s ministries and family ministries, in addition to James’ work at the hospital in Papua New Guinea.
The Radcliffes have six children: Benjamin, who was married to Katherine Stevens in 2004; Rebekah, who will be married to Joel Potter in 2006; Timothy, who will begin university studies in 2006 and Priscilla, Josiah, and Lydia who are still at home.
