When Jack was nine years old, he heard that God so loved the world that He gave His only Son

to save us from our sins. And who does not sin? Young Jackie Wayne became a follower of

Jesus Christ. No turning back.

In 1964, Jack met Betty Ann in his own backyard. In 1967, they said “I do” to one another and

started a wonderful family with a house full of very delightful children. One by one, they

welcomed those children...Angela, Doug, Rachel, Susie, Josh, and Anita.

Jack was a builder. In 1977, the Lord tapped Jack on the shoulder and said, “Come with Me to

Australia. Bring your hammer and some nails. Bring the family. I have a job for you.” So, from

Arlington, Texas, to Australia’s Outback, to the Highlands of Papua New Guinea–around the

world and back–it can now be said, “This is the house that Jack built.”
