Jim Subers
Jim Subers was born and raised in Miami, and has been married to his beautiful wife Janice for over 40 years. They met at the University of Florida, where Jim played football for the Gators and got a degree in business management. They have four adult children, one daughter, and three sons, one of them with autism. They have six young grandsons which are among their greatest joys.
Jim and his family have lived around the country and overseas, including living in Japan for five years. His business and ministry work has taken him to over 40 nations, including work in missions, international real estate, oil and gas, church planting, urban youth ministry, audio Bible distribution, prison ministry, teen residential care, and now city transformation efforts.
Jim returned to Orlando in 2022 to serve as CEO at Vision Orlando. Their vision is to help unite a significant remnant of the ekklesia in our community around Jesus, by gathering and mobilizing leaders of faith in every arena of influence in the city: business, government, education, media, arts and entertainment, family, and church. He believes that there is no greater force for good on the earth than a united ekklesia.
Jim says, “God has allowed us to join Him in his work all over the world. God is at work in absolutely amazing ways around the globe. And I am blessed to have seen just a tiny portion of what He is doing. I have tried to live by the axiom of Dr. Henry Blackaby, who says, ‘find out where God is at work, and join him.’” In 2019, Jim began a sabbatical, and in prayer, he asked the question, “God, what do you want me to do now?” And to his surprise, God responded, “You are asking the wrong question. Who do you want to become?” This launched Jim on a fascinating journey of discovery which continues to this day.
