Established in 2003, Reckless Abandon Ministries (RAM) has been actively ministering in various settings through praise and worship. This versatile, multi-styled, dynamic duo consists of Jamie Bollinger and Lisa Mayfield. Although RAM has been established for a few years, they have been singing and ministering together for nearly a decade. They have an unashamed love for Jesus Christ; a hunger to know Him better is their utmost pursuit. As a result, their undeniable, incomparable harmonies resound as a passionate song boldly proclaiming His praise and becoming the sweet aroma of worship unto His throne. They have traveled around Northeast Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina and Oklahoma. They have been involved in international projects that have been sent to the Philippines, as well as CDs sent to U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. Jamie and Lisa have a hearts cry for the church at large to have a worship experience that would be life changing and become the life-style by which we live before Christ.

We feel deeply that when we catch a glimpse of His face our hearts will be stirred to worship Him in reckless abandon; we were created for this. He is the focus of everything we do.

The mission of Reckless Abandon Ministries is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ by "...proclaiming the Good News of His righteousness in the assembly." Ps. 40:9 By proclaiming the Good News to all who have ears to hear, we believe the hearts of humanity will be stirred thus igniting the passion for intimacy in a relationship with Him, not only calling Him Lord, but Friend.

Reckless Abandon Ministries seeks to bridge across denominational lines, reaching nations all over the world, in order to bring hope to the hopeless and freedom to the captives. "...providing for those who grieve in Zion - to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair..." Is. 61:3

He has given us reason to sing and to revel in the love He has for us, that we would walk in freedom from every weight and hindrance and choose to daily worship Him in "Reckless Abandon".

Biography of Jamie Bollinger

Jamie, born in Kansas and raised in Texas, has been playing piano and singing since age 3. Rooted and grounded in the Word of God, she has devoted her life to furthering His kingdom. Jamie has known the call of God on her life since the early age of 12. The Lord has given her a hunger to know Him and a passion to sing forth His praise as a sweet aroma of worship unto His throne.

It doesnt matter who the worship leader is or who is playing what instrument. A phenomenal worship experience comes down to the worshippers heart and how hungry one is for a deeper revelation of who God is!

She is a graduate of Christ for the Nations Institute, where she received formal ministerial training with her main emphasis on music and missions. Since that time, she has ministered and led worship with various church choirs, worship teams, and conferences throughout Texas, Oklahoma and Georgia and has always taken a very active part in assisting with womens ministries.

She has a strong desire to see both men and women healed, set free, and restored as the Word of God is proclaimed and as the Spirit of God brings freedom. Likewise, her heart beats frantically for the Bride of Christ to awaken and have an undying passion and gut-wrenching hunger that will truly stir hearts to worship Him in reckless abandon!

Worship is so much more than singing songs. Worship is what is in our hearts, and what we worship is what consumes us. Oh, that Jesus would be our worship!

In May of 2000, Jamie and Freddy Bollinger were married. They reside in Atlanta, GA where Freddy is an insurance software salesman. In 2007, they heeded the call to become members and an active part of Free Chapel Church in Gainesville, GA. They are very excited about this "new season" and all God has in store!

She attended both Toccoa Falls College and Piedmont College where she majored in music and minored in Art. She also has a Career Diploma in Fitness and Nutrition.

Her heart goes out to all of the Bride of Christ, but especially to women. She longs to encourage them in the revelation of their identity in Christ and to bring them to an awareness of walking in the fullness of His purpose. The Lord has given her a mandate to teach Christ, remembering everything He has done and anticipating everything He will do; a mandate to teach the undeniable message that the power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead is still available to us today.

It is my desire that the Lord will use me to help others discover the simple truth that has become so real to me... In Him, I am.
