Jimmy Wayne is an American country music singer, songwriter, an author. By 14 years of age, Jimmy had been in and out of fostercare and attended 12 difference schools in 2 years. With his mother in prison, he found himself in juvenile detention of running away from a group home. At 16, he was living on the streets, until….an elderly couple began to “Nurture Hope” into his life.
Purchase your tickets today to hear the rest of this incredible overcoming adversity story full of miracles and hope. Sign up to host a table (the person who simply invites 10 guests to sit at a table) or sign up as a guest on the links below.
The ticket price is for the cost of the meal. LifeSource does not make anything from this price. During the evening there will be an opportunity to financially support LifeSource. We so hope that you will consider this as an opportunity to partner with us as we help children, individuals, and families in need throughout Northwest Arkansas.
