JimBailey Family Show Training Sessions & Mothers Day Family Service Feb 2008
A lively and entertaining show grabbing everyone's attention for the whole 90 minutes. It's hard to say who enjoyed it
more; the children or the adults!
Jim Bailey Family Show Farnham, Surrey
When I asked my boys (8 and 9) what they remembered about Jim’s show some weeks later, they recounted in detail one of
the illustrations he used (the dirty handkerchief - what a good picture!) Jim’s enthusiasm is so contagious that even the
most sceptical looking mums and dads were soon boogying. The show is fun, engaging AND theologically sound!
Floss Mitchell
Jim Bailey Family Show , Reading
The morning training was inspired and left the childrens workers who attended keen to get back to their churches and share
Jesus with the youngsters in their parishes.
Three months after the event and the families who attended Jim's family worship party are still talking about it. His funky
version of Lord of the Dance being a real hit. Perhaps the best feedback I could give are the words of a friend of my son, who
has never been to church 'If that is what church is all about then I want to know more about this man Jesus'

I was impressed by the level of professionalism and pre-show material offering help and advice. The Show
was great, fast
moving, colourful and very exciting for all the children and other children's leaders to be involved in. It is so evident of Gods
gifts at work through Jim

JimBailey Family Show June 2007
Just as I wouldn’t want to give away the ending of a really good book or
film, so I do not want to let out all the zany surprises and explosive fun
that is the Jim Bailey family show. What an afternoon! Families filled the
Hale Primary school hall to capacity and danced, sang, grooved and laughed
to the magic and multimedia, comedy and capers of Jim and his team. You
really never knew what was going to happen next – and when it did, it was
amazing!. Linda Daruvala Farnham Assemblies and Schools Team
This is love CD review by Viv B
Jim Bailey comes of age.
This is love album review

This is love is the culmination of a developmental curve seen through his last three albums.
Having explored serveral musical styles and always strived for the best in musicianship
and production, Jim Bailey has achieved an extraordinary contemporary album, which is fun,
challengingly relevent and fresh. Unique in its accessibility, for those with little contact in
contemporary worship music, this album bridges the void between the best of modern secular rock
and worship music and would sit happily inanyones collection of mainstream bands.
A skilled wordsmith, Jim bailey is able to express, with depth and feeling, the whole wonder of creation
through thought provoking musical interpretation.
Music that is aimed at crossing the generations is a tall order and Jim has successfully acheived
this with great agility and tenacity.
The title track 'This is love", is in his own musical style of melodic driven rock.
Missed the mark is urgent, exciting and encapsulates the Gospel in a nutshell.
He takes us on a musical journey from query ( God shaped hole) to consummate faith ( without you),
through childlike wonder (Fearfully and wonderfully designed and the Body song)
to God being ever-present in every circumstance ( i dont know what the future holds, thankyou Lord, Our God in the
middle of our lives, hand in hand, God loves me) and out into the commision to tell others of this love for them ( go into
the world)

your camels !
Best wishes to you and all your family and our prayers will continue for Rebekah.

This is love album review D Johnston
This is love album reviewThis Is Love – Jim Bailey
This Is Love sees Jim more passionate than ever about his two favourite Subjects; Family and God. The two themes are a
recurring and ever present feature of the album. The style may have changed but Jim’s knack for writing thought
provoking family worship songs hasn’t.
It’s an album the whole family can enjoy again and again. Dad will like the fact it’s rocky and therefore he can play air
guitar to it, when he should be working. The Kids will like it because the songs are instantly sing able and accessible. While
Mum will like the fact it’s theologically sound.
The whole album is immaculately crafted and polished, and there are not filler tracks. From the opening (and title) track
Jim takes listeners on a journey. It’s a journey that leads the listener through both the ups and downs of being a Christian
family in the 21st century. it’s great for the home, for the car or for any place where you need reminding that there is a
God who loves and wants the best for us.

Thanks for a fantastic weekend. our church has not seen so much
laughter and excitement for many years. The feedback received is
amazing - from all ages young and old.

I really enjoyed the show especially the songs. I loved the Colours of Salvation and Children of the Cross. I keep listening to your cd in the car.

When is he coming again? Inspiring. Funny, thought provoking. You are a hit Jim we love you loads.
Jim and Mary Aldwinckle, Wellingborough Christian Centre
Acoustic Concert November 2006
If you only know the ‘Jim Bailey the kids’ worker’, let me encourage you to book one of his new style concerts, and you will see him in a different light. He really showed what a great communicator and songwriter he is when he came to us in October and we saw a greater depth to this God gifted man. He sang songs from his album and chatted in between about life and spirituality in a relaxed and informal way. It was thought provoking and challenging and a great evening all round.
Ben Whale. Christian Youth Ministries, Ipswich
Jim Bailey Family Show November 2006
Jim’s punchy and passionate presentation and rockin’ songs excited mums and dads as well as children. The Spicy Camels and Grandad provided lots of laughs and excellent gospel illusions made an impact.
Irene Burden, KidzZone Director, Campaigner Ministries.

Jim memorably enthused and re-envisioned childen's workers with his love for God, children and families expressed through humour, music, and.....er... a couple of camels!
Carol Wadley, Children's ministry leader, Halifax
Jim Bailey Family Show November 2006
We all enjoyed your time with us. Our workers on the buses said the kids were really buzzing about the Show all the way home. Quite a few new kids have joined us since the roadshow for the cheerleading and the kids clubs. 16 kids and 1 adult gave their life to Jesus, plus we had at least 20 parents in that heard the gospel. Two parents have decided to come to church each week.
Rev. Antony Hodkinson, Emmanuel Christian Centre, Walthamstow, London
If you can only budget for one children's event or workers event this year - make it Jim Bailey. He might be madder than a box of frogs, but he will take your children's ministry onto another level.
Stephen G. Derges, Elder & Worship Leader, Bridgnorth Baptist Church
JimBailey Family Show September
2006
Illusions, escapology, telling jokes, great songs, The Spicy Camels all made for a great Roadshow which
was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone – old and young alike.
Ruth Corden, Children Pastor, Salvation Army, Manchester
I cannot express how much this man of God will change the way you look at and run your children's programmes.
Rev. Stephen R. Durie BA, M.Div, Shatin (Anglican) Church, Hong Kong
I have personally been both deeply touched, and amused (at different times) by Jim's music. He draws on a wide variety of musical styles. I think of him as a sort of musical storyteller.

Rev. Stephen R. Durie BA, M.Div, Shatin (Anglican) Church, Hong Kong
Personally I found Jim humble, kind and compassionate. Qualities one would value all the more when found in such a
talented performer and communicator".
Alan Harrington, Broadstairs Baptist church
One new Christian (not a child by any stretch of the imagination!) told me afterwards how much she had been moved by and loved the 'Colours of Salvation' presentation with music and flags. A brilliant day with eternal consequences
Rev. Antony Hodkinson, Emmanuel Christian Centre, Walthamstow, London
Jim Bailey came to the East End of London and we are still recovering over a month later!! Jims approach is unique. Many children's workers have a similar feel, but Jim's approach is definitely off the chart. Jim has the capacity to think outside the box and he speaks, thinks, acts, and sounds like a child.

Margaret & Les Woolf (70 +) Stockport Centre Church., Benjamin & Naomi Woolf (4+ 6 )
Jim has that very unique ability to minister to, and reach the hearts of everyone, whatever age. He is also a unique character in himself. We highly commend Jim's ministry to you.
Tammy Collins, Kidz Inc Director, St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada
Jim worked with us at a kid’s camp for 1 week. In that time he not only challenged the kids and adults, but he helped change the lives of our ministry team here. As a result, the kids program has thrived.
Margaret & Les Woolf (70 +) Stockport Centre Church., Benjamin & Naomi Woolf (4+ 6 )
The impressive and moving "Colours of Salvation" is a memorable and pictorial representation of what the Christian faith is all about.

John Glass, General Superintendent Elim Pentecostal Church
“If I were planning a children’s event, Jim Bailey would be the first person to come to mind. His ministry and been an immeasurable benefit and resource to many churches throughout the UK. I unreservedly recommend him to you.
Dan (aged 9)
“The best thing about Jim Bailey is, I wanted to worship when he did it”. Dan (aged 9)
Francesca aged 11
I am so into the way Jim Bailey works with children. The way he does it is so fascinating and I have enjoyed everything, he shows those, who are told that nobody loves them that the difficulties can be changed by God and that someone does love them
Ishmael
Jim is a man of many talents, a brilliant communicator and a good friend.
Steve Legg
Jim Bailey is without doubt the second funniest Christian entertainer I know! Seriously though, Jim is a great mate who has a passion to reach the lost in creative and dynamic ways. He loves the Lord and he loves the lost, which is a great combination in my books.
Ann Ashley, Wellingborough Christian Centre
Jim’s seminars are both inspirational and informative and his Roadshows are great fun.
Doug Horley
A clear anointing and a fantastic ability to communicate Jesus through fun, music, puppetry, escapology and whatever other crazy idea springs into his mind!
Jocelyn Smail, Head teacher Somerford School
Fantastic, great! Jims approach was really appropriate for our children and sufficiently cool and with enough street cred for them to stay!
Dave & Wendy Iliffe, Children Worldwide
Children & adults alike warm to Jim's unbounded enthusiasm. Jim maintains such a fresh anointed ministry, and his clear communication of truth through word, music and puppetry is always relevant to the children he loves.
Rev. Stephen R. Durie BA, M.Div, Shatin (Anglican) Church, Hong Kong
Jim is a talented, authentic person who communicates extremely well with children, youth and adults alike. Jim is an amazing songwriter. He sings songs that are relevant, fun, moving, biblical, human and challenging.

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.
Stephen G. Derges, Elder & Worship Leader, Bridgnorth Baptist Church
Jim Bailey is a fantastic communicator but he’s dangerous! When he comes to your church make sure you are prepared. He had me and other church leaders dressed up in wigs and huge spectacles, playing blow-up guitars and making complete fools of ourselves – it was brilliant!


Alan Harrington, Broadstairs Baptist church
The roadshow was fast moving, and again loads of fun without being flippant; to see kids really worshipping and learning about God was very moving and made all the preparation and cajoling of people into coming very worth while. Parents and other adults were included but in a totally non-embarrassing and un-cringey way.
Rev. Antony Hodkinson, Emmanuel Christian Centre, Walthamstow, London
We were particularly blown away by his training events. Not many children's workers' ambassadors’ focus on the theology of children's work, but Jim's teaching, using OT family models, is powerful and challenging. I have been working with children for over 30 years and I can honestly say Jim's training sessions were innovative, revelatory, and God-centred.
Terry Over. Dad and event organiser, Christchurch. (Potters Bar)
The Training was inspiring, humorous and profound - we left believing that we could really use the many practical details. It was a joy to see children and parents joyously worshipping during the Roadshow and without a doubt you have "raised the bar" for our children's work here at Christchurch. (Potters Bar)
Kenton Sparks. Managing Director, Trustee Farnham community Christian Trust
Jim Bailey is a very funny guy! He is able to use humour and music to powerfully communicate the love of God in Jesus to children, young people and family alike. He is passionate about what he does and he has blessed hundreds of children in Farnham.
Andrew Knight, Leadership Team, Elim Pentecostal Church, Braintree, Essex
Jim has a unique way of communicating Christianity to children using songs that he has written. The Spicy Camels are a massive hit amongst children and adults. His good sense of humour and giftings make it a privilege to see him perform.
Dave Roberts, Kingsway communications
Jim Bailey is creative, Jim Bailey is funny. Jim Bailey perseveres. But more than anything Jim has a big heart. He loves Jesus, people and children. Ask Jim to come to your gathering and let something of God's compassion for children make a difference to all those there.
Margaret & Les Woolf (70 +) Stockport Centre Church., Benjamin & Naomi Woolf (4+ 6 )
If you have not seen and heard "Spicy Camels" then you are missing an unforgettable experience. These are one of the highlights of Jim Bailey's
ministry; but they are a small part of the very wide scope, which will appeal to the entire cross section , from the youngest to the most elderly.
Tammy Collins, Kidz Inc Director, St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada
Jim's show is very high energy, keeping kids and adults on the edge of their seats. The spicy camels are one of his trademarks - they are awesome!

John Beales Christian Illusionist and entertainer. JB brings his own special brand of ministry through Illusion. JB has the same initals as Jim Bailey. He is also Jims good mate and highly recommended.
Jims first job at his old church in Worthing years and years ago was to kick John out of the worship band becasue he couldn't sing.
A lot has changed since then. JB is now a full time family evangelist. Jim & JB used to run Spring Harvest together where John used to almost cause a riot with his high antics memorable and very funny performances. Jim says he still cant sing !!!
