Jim Henderson (Executive Director)
Jim was first exposed to Christianity as a young adult. His only goal in life upon exiting high school was to be a jazz/rock musician. He sang in bands, played the flute and electric bass. Music was his life until he ran into Jesus.

Jim leads Off The Map a community of spiritual anthropologists dedicated to spreading Otherlyness the spirituality of serving. Off The Map started in the garage of Jim’s brain in 2000.Their first project led to a book called Evangelism Without Additives and an organization called Doable Evangelism

Jim was confused by the fact that sinners seemed to like Jesus but didn’t like his people so he decided to ask why. This led to him paying Outsiders to come to church and offer their critique. A friend who was aware of Jim’s odd habit noticed that an atheist was “selling his soul on EBay” and encouraged Jim to get in on the bidding. Off The Map won that auction for $504.

Jim and Casper Go to Church was published in 2007 and Jim and Matt Casper began speaking and explaining their unusual project and friendship. Jim lives in the Seattle with Barbara to whom he’s grateful for staying married to him for a really long time.
