“We will be the burning ones. The ones who never fell out of love. The ones who stayed desperate for years and years.

At the age of 22, Nate is a Grammy and Dove award winning bilingual songwriter. Even at his young age, he’s had the privilege of working with Maverick City Musica, Maverick City Music, Housefires, Elevation Rhythm, Miel San Marcos, Generacion 12 and many more significant entities that he considers family.

Ryan Ellis

Grammy Nominated, California native Ryan Ellis released his hit song “Heart of the Father” in 2022 and reached #2 on both the Christian Airplay and Christian AC Airplay charts. He’s penned songs such as “Resurrection Power” by Chris Tomlin, which earned him a GMA Dove Award nomination and ASCAP’s “Most Performed Song” award in 2018. Housefires’ “I Thank God” featuring Ryan, was a multi-chart #1 for 10 consecutive weeks. Accolade, however, is not the fuel of Ellis’ fire. “I’m a devoted husband and father first,” he says. “I have a deep love for Jesus and the way songs draw people in to experience Him, to be inspired and encouraged and ultimately to let them know that they are loved”. 

Loving music for as long as he can remember, it was when Ellis joined the Navy after high school when he reconnected with Jesus, realizing that his voice and songwriting are his connection to faith. After completing five years of service, including a tour of duty in Afghanistan, he recorded his first project, Isla Vista Worship, followed by two EP’s, Live from the Upper Room II and Kingdom Glory. He then dropped a dual LP Lyfe and Rysponse, both a challenge and invitation to listeners to be candid about the struggle yet stand firm in the truth and promises of God. He followed these releases with his self-titled album Ryan Ellis in 2022 which featured the hit songs “Heart of the Father” and “Gonna Be Alright”. He is now ready to share his new double single “Without Jesus”/“Eva Comin’ Down” (Provident Label Group/Sony Music) – the follow up to Ellis’ viral hit “Better Days” which amassed over 120k creates on TikTok alone. This marks the start of a lot more music on the way this year.

Pastor Leisa Nelson

Leisa Nelson and her husband Rusty Nelson co-lead The Rock Family Worship Center in Huntsville, Alabama with multiple campuses in the Tennessee Valley. Twenty-four years ago, they planted The Rock Family; a multi-cultural church dedicated to seeing the Presence of God touch a city, and the world around them. The daughter of a pastor and a schoolteacher, Leisa has always had a passion for worship and to care for vulnerable children. Pastors Rusty and Leisa have four children: Adam (Lindsey) Nelson, Ashlynne (Spencer) Bell, Alex (Mariah) Nelson, and Annaleis. They have five grandchildren: Cruce, Roslyn, Cannon, Charlotte, and Grace.

Leisa is driven by speaking into the Kingdom identity of humanity, standing with the nation of Israel, and relentlessly acting on behalf of the voiceless.  Her heart is burdened for those who don’t know who they are in Christ, and strives to lead individuals into the awakening of their true original design in HIM. She and Rusty are burdened for the salvation of the Jewish people, and for the peace of their homeland, Israel.  Her ear is tuned into divinely inspired strategies, and her voice is strong to rally the people of Christ to stand up and change their world.

Her heart’s cry for over twenty-five years has been standing up for the unborn, and the ministry of adoption and foster care, both on a domestic and international level. Leisa oversees several areas of ministry including SHE Women’s Ministry and the church’s adoption, foster care, and orphan care partnerships in the city. She loves missions, and works in partnership with many local, state, national and international ministries serving the needs of children. She also serves on the Alabama Board of Lifeline Children’s Services.  Leisa believes God has given her a mandate to promote widespread awareness of vulnerable children, to impart the importance of families opening their hearts and homes, and to encourage ‘The Church’ to take responsibility. She believes the heart of a nation must reflect the value God places on even the smallest of citizens.
