Our Story

InHisSteps.com was born out of the vision and faith of James (Jim) Phillips, a devoted follower of Jesus Christ whose heart was set on helping believers support one another in love and service. Jim believed deeply that the body of Christ should come together to meet each other's needs - both spiritual and practical - in a way that honors God and strengthens His people.

Jim's dream was to create a trustworthy Christian fundraising community - a place where believers could share the resources God has given them to lift up others in times of need. This vision was inspired by moments when Christians faced persecution or hardship simply for living out their faith, and Jim saw the need for a platform where followers of Christ could help one another freely and faithfully.

Throughout his life, Jim was passionate about studying and teaching the Word of God. His work, including A Better Bible Study Method, reflected his commitment to helping others understand scripture through truth alone. He lived a life of faith, integrity, and compassion, always striving to walk "in His steps."

Though Jim went home to be with the Lord on December 27, 2021, his spirit and purpose continue through his wife, Kathleen Phillips. Kathleen has lovingly taken up Jim's mantle, determined to see his vision come to life. With InHisSteps.com, she seeks to carry forward his mission - creating a space where believers can join together to meet needs, share blessings, and glorify God through generosity and love.

As Scripture reminds us in James 2:15-16, "Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, 'Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,' but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?" This site exists to help believers act on that calling - to not only share words of faith but to live them out through action.

Kathleen invites you to be part of this mission - to honor Jim's legacy by helping others walk in His steps.
