Alive and Well in 2008~! 
 
Warm Rise Greetings Everyone!
It's Been so long since we've said hello!  August 2007 to be exact...
 
So we thought we'd drop you a line!  There are so many great things going on, with some exciting news and gifts to share with you all.  2007 was an incredible year...We traveled to Seattle to raise funds for hunger relief in Africa, traveled to Las Vegas to rock and praise with a great youth group, helped Father Mike Manning with the grand opening of the new Word Net Television Studio and got to play so many fun events it made our heads spin....2007 really rocked for Rise Ministry! 

 Rise Rockin VegasA Gift for You!


So we were digging through our old Rise files and low and behold, we uncovered a lost Rise demo track from over 4 years ago when we were auditioning our drummer Mike Partain.  Since the tune "Human Respect" never made a Rise album, we figured, why not give it away!


 So did you get an iPod or other type of MP3 player for Christmas?  Rise is available on iTunes and several other MP3 sites.  Click here for the links
 


 IC FiestaSave The Date- May 23, 2008!
Our favorite gig of the year is coming soon, be sure to save the date for the Memorial Weekend Fiesta at Immaculate Conception Church, Monrovia, California Friday May 23, 2008 at 7PM
 


We thank you all again for your continued Love and Support,
 

God Bless,

 Mike B., Steve, Jorge and Mike P, aka Rise

    We are very proud of what we have accomplished musically with this new CD.  Not only that, the artwork and packaging came out incredible.  A big thanks to my bro-in-law, B.K. Coleman (Photography) and his girlfriend Desiree Areola (Graphic Artist) for all of their hard work and dedication to get this project completed on time.  You can see the new CD Cover for Stand the Line by clicking HERE

    Greetings All! We are finally back in our “normal” routine.  I just wanted to give a quick recap and let you all know how the Germany trip went.  We had such an awesome time, there were over a million Pilgrims from around the world and the entire World Youth Day 2005 experience was incredible.  We performed several times around the city of Cologne, from just setting up and doing street jams, to playing at the Vocation.com Coffee House, which was really cool.  Our main show in Bonn was great, we really aren’t used to those kinds of crowds and getting fussed over by roadies, promoters and sound technicians.  It was such a new and fun experience, the German promoters were very well organized and took great care of us.

     

    Germany is such a beautiful country and we met people from
