As the Patriot Classic tradition continues, so does the eternal impact of your gift.

Shotgun start at noon; individual golfers are welcome. Non-golfers are welcome to attend the Awards Dinner for $25 per person. Learn more and register now.

Jack, Jimmy. "I Can Dream Again: My Life, My Faith, God's Unchanging Love." Jimmy Jack Ministries, 2007.
When circumstances all point to "no," a new life in Jesus Christ is the only way that says "yes." "I Can Dream Again" is the powerful story of Jimmy Jack, who is the founder, with his wife Miriam, of Jimmy Jack Ministries. Jimmy Jack did not grow up in fortunate circumstances. He was born and raised in a home where his parents were emotionally unstable to the point that they were committed to psychiatric wards. He eventually fell into a lifestyle filled with violence, crime and drug abuse. But in 1984, his life changed at the Brooklyn Teen Challenge Center when he asked Jesus Christ to come into his life. Through a long journey of transformation, Jimmy Jack's story offers hope and new beginnings through Jesus Christ. There are endless possibilities to the wonderful things Jesus can do with each of us. I trust this story encourages you as it has encouraged me.
