Jack Ledbetter's Legacy

Many families start out poor, and for some in life all they want is more and more. Jack could not read very well, but had a wife, Nadine, who could, and was wonderful her place to fill. She read the Bible, Jack preached GODS word. They were rich in GODS love, and read his word, and listened for instructions from above. Jack preached for years about GODS love. Eight children GOD blessed them with, now three sons who preach GODS word, and 2 daughters married to ministers. Several grandchildren in heaven above. All eight at one time sang, until all glory and heaven rang. Twila and Jack to heaven went, and the others are blest and try daily GODS word to send. Nadine is 90 and full of GODS love and grace, no one can ever take her place. The boys travel and preach GODS word. and songs so wonderful you can feel GODS love, grace and mercy to be heard. Grandchildren worship GOD and sing, and constantly try others to him bring. What a wonderful family legacy this little Arkansas Preacher did to this world bring.
