Welcome to "The Light Still Shines"

This site is dedicated to Susan Kimberly (Kim) Jones. Kim was only 23 years old when she went home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on September 15, 1999, as a result of the shooting at Wedgwood Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas, U.S.A.

Please join us in observing the 10th anniversary of the tragic shooting at Wedgwood Baptist Church. The service will be held on September 13, at 6:30 pm at Wedgwood Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas. Address:  5522 Whitman Ave, Fort Worth, Texas  76133 

Kim wrote in her journal on December 26, 1998, "I love the Lord! My dream is to change the whole world for Jesus!"

The goal of this site is to carry on Kim's desire to spread the good news of Jesus Christ around the world.

Now, through God's grace, Kim's dream of traveling the world telling others about Jesus, is coming true! Please read on...

Just six weeks before Kim died, she gave her first and last talk as a youth minister in the Middle East. A woman in the audience just happened to catch Kim's talk on video. This lady contacted the Joneses' family after she heard about Kim's death. She told them she had the talk that Kim gave on video.

In Kim's spirit-filled talk entitled "A Path of Purpose", she's talking about backpacking, one of her favorite things to do. Here's part of Kim's talk:  "You guys, everyone in here, we're basically a bunch of backpackers. We are all just travelers, we are all just on a journey. And we're heading for our home.  I think sometimes that we lose sight of that.  And sometimes we start to focus so much on this world and we forget that God has said in His Bible, that this world is not our home. We are strangers and aliens in this place.  THIS ISN'T IT.  And someday,  this body of mine, it's going to die, it's going to pass away.  And listen to this, this is the most amazing thing.  We are forced to live out the rest of eternity based on the decisions that you are making TODAY--"
