Northwest Iowa — May, 2001. That’s when Rise Ministries was founded by a young man named Rob Roozeboom. Rise Ministries is celebrating their 20th anniversary this month.
Rise Ministries Founder and President Rob Roozeboom tells us how the ministry got its start.
He talks about Rise Ministries early years.
Roozeboom says that, as time went on, the focus of Rise expanded.
Needless to say, Roozeboom tells us, Rise did, in fact, start a music festival.
Roozeboom and his wife, Sharla, have three teenagers, and as he looks forward to the next twenty years, he says he’s starting to wonder if they might want to become a part of Rise Ministries.
The RiseFest Christian music festival takes place in Sheldon each June, with this year’s festival scheduled for June 11th and 12th at the RiseFest Grounds, located just north of Highway 18 on Country Club Road.
