James Whitford earned his doctorate from the University of Kansas Medical Center and practiced physical therapy and wound care before he and his wife, Marsha, founded Watered Gardens Ministries in Joplin, Missouri, in 2000. Their desire to fight poverty also led to the creation of True Charity, a national training organization advocating for civil society and dignity in charity work rather than perpetuating dependency. As Founder and Executive Director of both Watered Gardens and True Charity, James brings over 20 years of experience working with those in need and developing community-based solutions. His insights have been featured in The Heritage Foundation’s Index of Culture and Opportunity, The Christian Post, The Hill, WORLD, and more. He has testified before both the US Senate and the US House on issues of poverty and welfare reform, championing a shift from harmful government handouts to relational, long-term impact. James and Marsha were honored with the WORLD News Group Hope Award in 2019. They live in southwest Missouri, where they enjoy fishing on the James River with their five children and seven grandchildren.
