Meet Your Speaker - Rob Roozeboom
Like many small-town boys growing up in the Midwest, Rob Roozeboom’s
desire was to be a farmer and an athlete. However, after being diagnosed with
muscular dystrophy at age five, Rob watched helplessly as his illness
destroyed his dreams. Feeling painfully different and forgotten, Rob
questioned his very existence and wrestled with God about his future.
But God wasn't finished with him yet.
In 2001, Rob founded RISE Ministries, Inc., and in 2005, he launched
RiseFest, an annual Christian music festival in Northwest Iowa that features
some of the nation's top Christian artists and speakers.
Living with muscular dystrophy has given Rob a unique and relatable
perspective on walking through adversity while holding onto faith. His
authenticity connects with and encourages people from all walks of life. He’s a
sought-after speaker, sharing his story and bringing Jesus’ message of hope
to communities, businesses, and prominent events nationwide. He's shared
the stage with Phil Wickham, For King & Country, TobyMac, Skillet, Lecrae, Anne Wilson, and many others.
