All Age Worship - Tours
"Give your children something they will remember for the rest of their lives”
Jim is constantly touring with shows that are evangelistic, effective and fun, and has seen 100's of children and adults make decisions to find out more about Jesus. Jim uses lots of amazing and creative ways to communicate, The Best Instructions Before Leaving Earth (BIBLE). He brings relevant and fresh presentations of faith in Jesus, and a vibrant sense of God in the shows that children will enjoy and remember. Jim's performances are full of God, exciting, spectacular, relevant, challenging, entertaining, stimulating, cool, fun, unique, accessible, enjoyable and anointed. These are just some of the words people have used to describe Jim’s shows.

Jim's diverse talents bring together songs, music and comedy in an innovative and inspiring multi-media presentation. Drama, escapology, juggling, dance or amazing illusions could break out at any minute. Puppet guest appearances are by Granddad, Grandma or Thread Bear who all specialise in alternative ventriloquism. The famous Spicy Camels insist on touring with Jim. They say, "Someone has to keep Jimmyboy in order!"

Bring your friends, and the kids next door to this unique, exciting and fun blend of worship and comedy.

Ruth Corden, Children Pastor, Manchester
If you want to be inspired, book Jim, if you want to be fired up, book Jim, if you want to know how to run effective children's ministry, book Jim, but most importantly, if you're in the business of seeing children and families come to know Jesus then I shout BOOK JIM.
