When you ask Jimmie Bratcher to describe what he does, his response is always the same. “I have The Ministry of Showing Up”, and that’s exactly what he does. Jimmie and his wife Sherri show up in churches, at music venues, in prisons, at biker rallies, and with the homeless. They can be found with Saints and Sinners alike doing what they do, “Preaching The Gospel & Playing The Blues”. Jimmie is an inspiring preacher and also a world-renowned blues guitarist, singer-songwriter, and author, with a distinct ability to connect with people on both Saturday night and Sunday morning.

Soul Purpose Ministries was founded in 2010 and since that time has had incredible opportunities to bring the Gospel, through music, to those who are not likely to step into a church on Sunday morning. In recent years we were introduced to prison ministry and right away recognized the deep spiritual needs of those experiencing incarceration.

The band Soul Purpose was also formed in 2010 with a mission to bring the love of God, through the vehicle of music, to as many people as possible.

We are a family of 5 from Kansas City, MO who loves Jesus and doing music together. The band leader Larry Balmer has always had the heart for worship and ministry since 2004. Their shared love for God and ministry brought Larry and his wife of 14 years, Farah together and they now have 3 kids who share the same passion. They currently go to church at The Grace Place in Smithville, MO where they have been worship leaders and still serve in that capacity when they're in town. The Balmer family one day envisions a life of traveling and sharing the Gospel through music.

Mach Seven Messenger is a Christian hard rock band located in the Nixa Missouri area. Heavily influenced by some of the greatest music from the '70's, '80's, and '90's you'll find their songs have a familiar feel while being fresh, exciting, and new. It's like listening to a sonic symphony of ear catching hooks. Mach Seven Messenger is definitely not the average band playing run-of-the-mill covers. They are a ministry focused on reaching the audience with great music and a message.
