Sheldon, Iowa — Rob Roozeboom and Lee Stover of Rise Ministries appeared on the KIWA Morning Show with Wayne and Aaron Wednesday morning, and made the final lineup announcements for this year’s RiseFest, the Christian music festival held each Father’s Day Weekend in Sheldon.
Stover made the announcement of their first group of the day, a duo called Love And The Outcome.
Love And The Outcome’s Jodi and Chris have come a long way since selling their condo in Canada in 2010, accordig to Roozeboom. Jodi was a solo artist, riding on the acclaim of her just-released debut LP, Little Smile, when Chris began to fill in on guitar at select shows between gigs with his band, The Attics.
After the Attics folded, Jodi and Chris saw an ideal opportunity to start fresh as Love & The Outcome. Now, the two are truly coming into their own as a band and as a couple.
Rise Ministries Founder and President Rob Roozeboom ran through the Friday night lineup for this year’s RiseFest, including the second announcement of the day.
Stover talked about Saturday’s lineup of performers.
Joshua Jordan is an Award Winning Illusionist, Comedian and International Speaker, and will be appearing at this year’s RiseFest. He is a former atheist who’s eyes were opened to the Lord after hearing what leading atheists and scientists were saying about discoveries of the universe. Remembering his upbringing in a Christian home, he could not deny the similarities between what The Bible said and what science was discovering and calling scientific fact. Making a career as an illusionist who’s job is to misdirect people from the truth, Joshua realized very quickly that he was the one being misdirected until he gave his life to the Lord. Still using illusions he now illustrates how easily someone can be fooled and misdirected from the truth without a solid understanding of the Lord.
Tickets for RiseFest 2017, which will be held June 16th and 17th in Sheldon, are available at riseministries.com. Volunteers are still needed for the festival, as well, and you can volunteer through the Rise Ministries website.
