Remember...
The will of God will never take you
where the grace of God cannot keep you,
where the arms of God cannot support you,
where the riches of God cannot supply your needs,
where the power of God cannot endow you.
We are here to glorify Jesus and to provoke others to praise him!
We started to write our own songs some years ago. Our influences are very different in music style, which has resulted in a great variety in the songs we play. Markus is the hard rock drummer who preferred to listen to Stryper or Bride when he grew up. He is the author of the song "You gave it all for me". Leif is the guitarrist who listens to Led Zeppelin, Yngwie Malmsten, U2 and Bob Dylan for inspiration. Ellen, who sings and plays the keyboards, has a background as a vocalist in a reggae band. She has written the other songs that have been recorded at the local radio station in Kalmar.
We had the great privilege earlier this year of being invited to Mango96 Radio Station in Khartoum, Sudan, where our music was highly appreciated by those calling in to vote for us in the music charts. To sing for peace and justice in that nation was a humbling experience and we pray the Lord will continue to touch hearts in that great nation through our music.
Our home base as a band is Rockneby on the south east coast of Sweden. That's where we've been put to gain strength and anointing to reach the ends of the earth by sharing the Good News and helping the poor.
Our church is called KLIPPAN which is The Rock in Swedish. And out from that Rock two things will come; water and fire...
We are so excited and grateful to God that we are part of Newfrontiers which is a worldwide family of churches together on a mission.
You don't have to be very wise to realise that what Sweden need is a complete Reformation. Church is not interesting and Christ is not known. Many are confused and despairing as they face life's hardships. They don't know where to turn.
Our mission as the people of God is great and important!
Hope all is well with you and yours. Just wanted to let you know that I've just released my new mixtape - Jack of All Trades - free for download. So take a listen and let me know what ya think!

How are you doing? Has 2007 been a good year for you so far? Let us know what's going on in your life. We're one big family here, right? Our desire for you, Ellen & the Rockers, is that you engage 100% of your effort in the pursuit of holiness. Oh and remember, you're not a "sinner", you're a "saint" because of what Christ did on the cross. Our prayer is that we would let God; rule, reign and roam freely in our lives. Let us know if you would like us to come out to your area.
