Our Team
Working Together
Our Ministry has grown to include eleven families. Their vision, input and effort has helped us move forward in the calling that God has placed on our lives. Featured are 4Eternity and Gary and Donna Ross.
4Eternity
It's rare to find young people that are sold out for Jesus in this day and age. Especially youth hungry to do the work of the Lord. 4Eternity is just that! The reason that we can claim that they are young is because they are our kids.
Our twin daughters, Rachael & Michelle, grew up in this ministry. We remember all the times that we took them with us from church to church all across this country. They watched and listened as Mom, Dad and team members shared their faith hundreds of times. When they were old enough, we put them on the stage and let them sing or do dramas.
Richie Newton joined the team in the summer of 2005. He grew up in South Texas in a Christian home, but never knew that he had a musical gift until he was 17 years old. Within a few years of moving to Utah, he was playing drums, guitar, singing, and writing songs. He married Michelle in September 2006, and they have now blessed us with the greatest little grandson on earth, Caleb.
Enter Jarred Huseby. Jarred also grew up in a family ministry; he has seen and experienced the mighty power of God working in the lives of people. He plays the guitar and percussion in addition to singing with the group. His song writing abilities are a gift from God. Jarred and Rachael are courting and have become a powerful team!
Rachael has been tremendously anointed to use sign language during Praise & Worship; watching her will bring tears to your eyes. She also plays keys for the group. An amazing prayer warrior, Rachael will touch your heart.
Michelle's song writing abilities and warm vocals bring a solid anointing to this team of 4. She also plays guitar and shares heart moving words of wisdom.
We know that the Lord has set up this team of 4 for such a time as this. 4Eternity has a strong anointing and their lives portray that great passion for seeing people come to have a personal relationship with Jesus. Their music will touch the heart and soul of every listener.
Gary and Donna Ross
Parents to two beautiful girls, Charlotte and Courtney, Gary and Donna are an integral part of the Blastoff Music Ministries team. Gary serves as the Ministry Manager arranging bookings, marketing and media events.
The Ross family lived in England and in Europe for sixteen years before Gary retired from the Air Force at Hill Air Force Base in 2006. His experience as First Sergeant has helped Gary develop a unique blend of leadership and teaching which has carried over to the Blastoff Team. In addition, having served in the Middle East has given him a firsthand view of the reality of the dangers that we face as Christians today.
Donna, born and raised in England, has a passion for God that has given her many opportunities to minister to others and draw them to Jesus. Her compassion and patience have been developed as a result of many years as a military spouse! Donna organizes the daily devotions that are featured on our front page.
Witnessing to couples, both in England and in the US, over the last 20 years has given them a unique insight into the decay that is eating away at the family unit. From this, God has given them a desire for reaching out to people with a message of hope. Together their passion and zeal make a powerful force in the Kingdom.
