  • Bio

    Preaching the Gospel & Playing the Blues The Reverend Jimmie Bratcher is the president and founder of Ransom Ministries, Inc., which is dedicated to assist pastors and their congregations with evangelistic services and to encourage and model effective ministry beyond the walls of the church. Evangelist, author, singer, songwriter and guitarist, “The Rev” preaches in churches every Sunday, but on Saturday nights you’ll find him sharing his amazing testimony and blistering guitar licks onstage in blues clubs and at music festivals, prisons and biker rallies throughout US & UK. Jimmie’s unique style of taking ministry to the people has resulted in millions being influenced by the gospel. Bratcher’s brand of ministry has been embraced by the Christian market and the mainstream music industry alike, allowing him to minister in some of the greatest churches in the world and at Christian music festivals such as Creation Festival East & West and Rock the Light, and at blues festivals and biker rallies such as The Legendary Buffalo Chip, Bikes, Blues & BBQ, Blues on the Hill, Simply the Blues Festival and Boxcar Full of Blues. He has appeared at venues along with Christian artists including Mercy Me, Newsboys and Third Day, and with blues/rock greats including Leon Russell, ZZ Top, Bob Dylan, Grammy winner David “Honeyboy” Edwards, Otis Taylor, and Hubert Sumlin, one of Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.” “I want to inspire as many people as possible and to point them to the reality of the love that God has for them,” says Bratcher. “For me the gospel through the blues is my most effective way to communicate.”

Bio:

The Blues are all about the soul of a man. Who better to play the blues than a man who lost it all only to regain it again? Thats what The Reverend Jimmie Bratcher is about! A man who gave up his love of the blues for a higher calling, only to have the blues come back to him as his higher calling 20 years later. A boy who went to Memphis to follow a dream that over 25 years later is realized every time he steps on the stage in blues clubs like Club Isaac Hayes in Memphis or The Ground Zero in Clarksdale Mississippi.
