Rusty & Alegra Rohr
|
Alegra was raised in a home where her parents took her to church and taught her about Christianity. However, her first experience with Christian praise and worship songs was in her dorm as a freshman at a Christian college. She loved the songs so much that when she later made plans to go to a different college, the worship leader gave her a copy of the song sheets. One of her friends taught her some guitar chords so she could continue singing to the Lord. Alegra became involved with Campus Crusade for Christ at the University of Utah. She received Christ as her Savior and began her journey with a deep & personal relationship with Jesus. How incredible it was that the Lord revealed her ministry gift before she gave her life to Him! Within a very short time, she met Rusty, who was an excellent guitarist. He took the time to teach her the guitar and as God would have it, he also fell in love with her.
|
After Alegra & Rusty were married, they were asked to lead worship at their church. Together, they led music in several churches before moving to St George. Shortly after their move, they met Ia & Javier. Together, they began searching for a church to attend with their families. The oldest child in each family (Sol & Sofia) loved children's church & wanted to come back! Since the adults felt the same way, New Life became their church home. Almost immediately, Alegra became involved in the music ministry. Within a few months, she was asked to be the worship leader. Recently, Rusty has joined Alegra in her leadership role.
Along with this ministry, the Lord has given Alegra & Rusty 4 beautiful children, one of them, they recently adopted. They have a heart for foster care and currently have a foster daughter living with them as well.

Marisa Barnson
Marisa has been a Christian and has attended church for years. However, coming from a
religious background steeped in control and fear, she longed for more. She longed to experience
real freedom in the Lord, to flourish in God’s love and be in a place where she would be
genuinely loved and welcomed. She found that place in New Life Christian Center. At New
Life, Marisa found healing, freedom, and release from fear, particularly through White Cord
Ministries, under Pastors Ia and Javier’s guidance. So changed by God’s love and grace, she
began to walk in freedom, ministering to others the love with which God had set her free. A
word that God gave her truly encompasses her life in Him: As long as I shall live, I shall testify
of Your love.
Marisa has a servant’s heart, desiring to share the love that God has shown her. She simply loves helping others in any way, both in the church and outside of it. She has a heart for children and serves in the children’s ministry. Marisa and John have also begun to care for foster children. Both also feel a calling to missions and have been on three missions trips to Tennessee. However, Marisa feels particular compassion for those who are hurting. If she sees someone hurting, she will do whatever she can to alleviate that hurt. Yet she knows that nothing of true significance can be accomplished unless it is brought to God in prayer first. So before she ministers to anyone, she seeks God first, listening to Him. She has come to realize in a profound way that the Word the Lord speaks to her is God Himself, and she must listen to what He speaks to her and then serve the Lord.
