Tree of Life

Bio:

.... ..........


.. Tree of Life is a Christian band that began in 2007, based out of Myakka City, Florida. The band started out as a husband and wife duo (Dixie and Jaime Nesland), but has grown by two other talented members, all who love God and yearn to tell the world of the hope found in Jesus Christ. We frequently lead worship services and do songs that are familiar worship songs, but we also write our own songs--Dixie and Marcy are the primary song writers. All of our original songs we have written ourselves, and each song is based on both our experiences and scripture, yet with a contemporary twist that points people to God and the fullness of life he offers. The band name reflects our interpretation of God's own story for the world from the tree of life in the garden of Eden, to the tree Jesus sacrificed himself on (the cross), to the 12 trees of life described in heaven in the book of Revelation. We believe that Jesus is the the gateway into abundant life and eternal life, and he offers hope to a hurting world. As a group, we have all felt lead to not only encourage those who already know Christ, but also to go beyond and reach those who don't know him and who may never enter a church. We sense a calling to minister to those the world has forgotten, such as the homeless, the hungry, the needy, orphans, people in nursing homes, and the disabled. In the past, we have ministered to orphans and children in foster homes, and raised money to buy them Christmas gifts. We are also looking into teaming up with the Salvation Army to provide music and to help meet the needs of the homeless and needy. We pray that God will bless your life and lead you into a relationship with Jesus Christ where you will find true joy and abundant life. Jesus is the real tree of life and source of life--stay close to the tree and you'll have all you need!
