Country music icon Vince Gill will headline Songs on a Mission, a benefit evening celebrating 25 years of ministry and community transformation by international nonprofit Mission Lazarus, on Thursday, Nov. 19, at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville.
Dean Dillon and Rodney Crowell will join Gill as special guests. The black-tie-optional evening supports Mission Lazarus’ education, health care, economic development, and spiritual development work in Honduras and Haiti.
The night begins with a reception at 6 p.m., followed by dinner and the program at 7 p.m. Bryan Simpson, known as “Uncle B” from the Damned Ole Opry, will serve as emcee. Simpson has traveled to Honduras multiple times to serve alongside Mission Lazarus.
“For 25 years, we have seen what becomes possible when faith, relationships and practical service come together,” said Jarrod Brown, founder and president of Mission Lazarus. “Songs on a Mission is a chance to thank God for all He has done, honor the people who have helped carry this work forward, and invite others to be part of what comes next. We are deeply grateful to Vince, Dean, and Rodney for sharing their time and talent with us in this milestone year.”
Since its 2017 launch, Songs on a Mission has connected the organization’s work with Nashville’s music community. Previous participating artists and songwriters have included Carrie Underwood, Sam Hunt, Dustin Lynch, Zach Crowell, Matthew West, Bryan Simpson, Ashley Gorley, Matt Jenkins and JT Harding, among others. The artists have donated their performances to support the mission, making the event an important part of the organization’s fundraising efforts.
“I’ve had the privilege of traveling to Honduras and serving alongside Mission Lazarus more than once, and this work is deeply personal to me,” Simpson said. “Songs on a Mission brings Nashville’s music community together around something that lasts far beyond one night. I’m honored to help tell that story and celebrate what God has done through this organization.”
